Note as well— transit authorities are often balancing conflicting requirements from their political overlords. In particular, maximizing profit vs. access. Politicians (especially non users of transit) often want to see as many of their constituents as possible "covered" by the transit system, which leads to meandering, infrequently serviced routes of limited usefulness. But then when this is done, there are complaints that the transit authority hasn't done enough to "build ridership" and justify its own existence.

In a world where ride sharing is out-competing buses, perhaps there can be more attention given to straightening out bus routes and increasing service frequency accordingly.

We also had BoundsChecker but it was my little library that found most bugs eventually :)
There is the short story "The Roads Must Roll" by Robert Heinlein which -- as a plot device or similar -- has these vast roads which enable such things as mobile restaurants. Some characters commute over a business dinner, for example.

We can see the beginnings of this for those of us who ride transit. Reading, "sleeping", A/V media on tablets/phones... and then to make-up and phone calls... anything reasonable and semi-reasonable in public that's not active driving [and non-reasonable for some of the fringes].
Strength and wonder? That's a very odd description. More like, it's the only way we know how to interpret ourselves, our world, our relationships. It's not the easiest, but for those of us that have been able to find meaning and value through this interpretation... why would we give that up just to make other people feel more comfortable around us? We're not hurting anyone. That's why many adults who function decently don't want to be cured.

Of course we support medical research and treatment to improve functioning, especially for severe cases. That's not what a cure is though. A cure is becoming a fundamentally a different person. Or if some folks get their wish, it's pre-natal detection of autism so parents can prevent autistics from being born at all. We don't want to normalize autism to prevent treatment, we want to normalize it enough so that we don't get written off as valueless people not worthy of being born.

I did my MSc thesis on SaaS pricing pages. I'll share what I found, since I think many people in this thread may find it useful.

I tested how Mechanical Turkers (N=~400) chose plans on pricing pages with 4-tiered subscriptions plans, for both a file sharing service and a payroll software service. Each respondent was randomly assigned to one of 4 conditions, where the presented pricing page was slightly different. The scenario was framed as choosing a SaaS plan for a company they're employed at.

The first variable I varied was plan order. Half the respondents saw a pricing page with plans in increasing price order (cheapest first), the other half in decreasing price order (most expensive first). There was a statistically significant difference between the plan choices for these groups; respondents in the most expensive plan first condition chose a more expensive plan. This phenomenon has been seen before outside SaaS, and it's called the price order effect.

Another variable I tested was exchanging the cheapest ($5) plan for a free plan. Half the respondents saw a free plan, the other half a $5 plan. There was no statistically significant difference in the plan choice for these groups.

Getting familiar with previous literature, I would surface a couple of general thoughts:

- The most expensive plan first approach may give the visitor a more expensive image of the product, a higher "reference price". If a prospective customer is comparing two products from two different companies, they may favor the one that seems cheaper (has a lower "reference price") even if the offerings may provide similar value.

- The hypothesized mechanism for the price order effect is that you don't look at all the options as a whole, but you begin by assessing the first option, which is the leftmost one for us reading left-to-right, and then judge the next option by comparing it to the previous one, and so on. You compare added (more features/less cost) and lost (less features/more cost) value. Because we weigh losses heavier than benefits, there's an inertia toward the initial options. Only options with benefits that greatly outweigh losses combat that inertia. Hence respondents tended to choose plans more on the left.
Oddly specific. Does Ring use AWS at all?
It's irrelevant that breathalyzers in New Jersey were tampered with. You would need to show evidence that the breathalyzer in your specific case was tampered with. It's a basic rule of evidence...
You should consider bicycling. Bicycling is usually faster than transit and nearly as fast as car travel (at least for getting around SOMA and the surrounding areas that aren't well served by elevated freeway). You don't even need a bike! A Ford GoBike membership is $150/year, and rides under 30 minutes are free after that. I personally use Ford GoBike almost daily for getting around SF.
Yeah my phone number was forced to change after my phone bricked now its like a season in hell trying to get them to let me back into my account.

As an aside, is there anyone else extremely disappointed with the quality of discussion over at /r/cryptocurrency? This conflict over IOTA has been unfolding for a long time and the guys on that subreddit defend it fanatically, accusing DCI of "FUD"ing IOTA. I am not sure if the subscriber base is technically illiterate or users that hold a given coin have a strong incentive to dismiss any criticism.

As someone fascinated by the technology in the crypto space but very skeptical about the real-world usefulness of many of these projects, I wish I had a better forum to read beside the odd HN post.
I doubt remote piloting is intended for quick intervention. Probably more if the thing is stuck in the middle of the road because it's closed off and similar.
Huh? No, these are simply USSR-style what-aboutisms that China has inherited.

No. You need a token running an OpenPGP Card 3.0+ applet for ECC. The Yubikey, while capable of doing ECC in other applets (like the PIV applet) only implements OpenPGP Card 2.1 (maybe 2.2?).

Ledger did an OpenPGP Card 3.0 implementation that looks interesting, though the token is pricey: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/blue-app-openpgp-card
What about things explicitly designed in a way that there is no option to be forgotten. What about commits in version control sites? What about mailing lists?

From skimming over the spec, it seems that politicians haven't thought about any other sites than social networks or some other profit making sites. Even in that case, if some ML system is trained on the data of the customer, do they have to re-train after anyone invokes right to be forgotten.
>Nearly 60 percent said they would have used public transportation, walked, biked or skipped the trip entirely

Skipping the trip entirely is not a desirable economic outcome. The whole point of all this technology is to enable people to go places. If it doesn't do that, it's broken.

Hey, thanks much! Appreciate it ;)
For our hallway, rather than buying an LED lamp that's compatible with a dimmer, we bought one with built-in dimming. You flip the wall switch twice and it goes into a dim warm orange "nightlight" mode. Flip it twice again and it goes into full brightness daytime mode.
You seem to have misunderstood. I'm not claiming most, average, or even many assault rifle owners do anything inappropriate with it. I agree that would be nonsense.

School shootings are rare. Cop murders are rare. No one thinks anyone with a rifle is likely to do these things.

The point, instead, is that in a world full of assault rifles and high capacity magazines and bump stocks, more of these types of things will happen and they will be worse when they do.

This is not rocket science. If it was legal to own RPGs, some people would. And the more people did, the more crazy RPG-related shit would happen. And when we're grieving over a 50 death incident, we'll never be able to prove (to a degree that would convince a member of the National RPG Association) that it would have been 15 if RPGs had been illegal.
This is pretty neat, does anyone have any other similar or equivalent libraries to compare this against? It's always nice to see comparisons to gauge the value of a feature or system structure. Thanks!
Everyone should should read Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago too.

Irrespective of whether IOTA has issues or not their constant hostility is surprising to say the least. If you run something in public domain there are going to be people coming after you. And people need to learn to adapt which IOTA is sorely lacking.
> One person hailing an Uber takes up an entire car's worth of space on the road: 4 seats, an engine, and a trunk. One person riding a bus takes a single bus seat on a vehicle that can hold 20+ people in a minimum of space.

I was on a train the other day and counted around 35 people in my car (there were other cars too). I was imagining the energy and congestion generated by 35 cars compared to the one train car.

If more people used public transit, there would be more availability (more routes and more frequent vehicles on each route).
I'm not sure whether gnarbarian is trolling or just operating outside his range of understanding, but those with an honest interest in the subject will find that Marxist-inflected schools of thought of course comprise many diverse and lively intellectual disciplines, which have influenced many politicians and leaders in decidedly non-Stalinist nations around the world, from MLK Jr. to the probable future Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The other obvious rejoinder to the parent comment is that if Stalinism is "Marxism in practice", than in equal measure the wholesale genocidal slaughter of millions of Native Americans, Koreans, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, Iraqis etc. carried out by the United States can be said to be capitalism in practice, not to mention the century plus of horrific atrocities committed by the capitalist nations of Western Europe and East Asia (of course, many Marxists would say that this is exactly right).
There’s more to that. Startups now exists as a constellation of services and it’s quite hard to tell what goes into a PIA document and whar not.

Say our landing web page contains an intercom chat widget and google analytics tracking.

At that point we have collected the user ip at most, which would become sensitive only if connected with data from two other businness entities.

Growing up in Michigan we had lots training with an instructor (who had his own set of brakes) before getting a permit that allowed us to drive with our parents. Then after a year or so you could get your full license.
cool product, having worked in advertising this is pretty cool. I was wondering when someone would make something like this.
Public transportation is not more efficient in terms of my time or usability. When I have to transport my four kids somewhere or go grocery shopping, public transport is a nightmare.

Let’s not assume people needing transportation are all single people carrying a backpack with perfect physical abilities. Ever tried to get a stroller down the subway steps in New York? In those relatively few stations that have elevators, they’re all filled with piss and shit. Don’t want my 3 year old walking around amongst that. Even in “enlightened” European cities, subway elevators are often disgusting messes, not to mention more unsafe than having an Uber driver drop you at your front door.

Public transport could be great — but I live in real-ville where it isn’t — except maybe in Zurich — which is an extremely rich small, and compact city — you could put twenty Zurichs in the Los Angeles metro at least. On paper, places like New York have great public transport — but the UX is about 100x harder than using Uber — especially with kids: walking up and down multiple stairs, down long corridors, waiting on station platforms literally next to crazy people, getting on a train, finding a seat — then trying to get back home doing all that in reverse. Compare that to the literal seconds it takes to order an Uber, wait outside your door, hop in, ride in quiet, mostly pathogen-free comfort directly to your destination.

Public transport is “efficient” the same way a prison cafeteria is efficient. I am not against public transport — it serves a valuable purpose as one facet of a comprehensive transportation policy. But to claim it is more efficient is really a matter of opinion — there are a lot of variables that make up what “efficient” means.
>The cryptocurrency apologists want each individual to manage their private keys.

Actually, a hybrid solution is possible using multisig and secret sharing algorithms. Many crypto enthusiasts are aware of how the "real world" works. People need to be able to recover access to their accounts if they lose their keys. It's not all black and white like you make it out to be.

For example, I implemented a solution for a mobile app that stores a users private key in their phone's keychain. It also splits the key into two parts, and emails the user 1 part, and stores the other part on a centralized server. If a user loses their key, they can get the first recovery part from their email, and by verifying their identity via 2 factor, the centralized server provides them with the second recovery part.
This seems like such a 'none' panic.

Either they will make money or they won't. And if their followers are growing theoretically they are on the right track.

You think no footballer or basketballer was ever caught close to being a pro, and then spent a year or 2 too long on the dream before realising he didn't cut it.

It's exactly the same thing, just a different medium
There are jobs you cannot do remotely, or at the very least requires a person on site for your remote commands to work.
I think you’re confusing the lack of knowledge of whether or not singularities really form, with whether or not black holes form. There are very clearly black holes, but of course we can have no way of knowing if they contain singularities. Quark stars could exist, it not with the masses observed in Sag A*. Quark degeneracy pressure isn’t going to support the mass of millions, or even billions of suns. It might be that something other than a singularity is within the event horizon, but there will still be an event horizon. Given that, we’ll never observe the interior of a black hole and be able to communicate those findings, so it’s purely academic at that point.

As for time dilation... no. In no way could that magically overcome collapse.

> Relative to the size of its population, Israel has a highly developed electronics engineering related industry. Part of it related to their state support of domestic defense contractors ...

It's not due only to Israeli resources. Much of Israel's defense budget comes from the U.S., plus there is much more support, including technology transfer, that isn't provided in cash.
We do trust good people with grenades/rockets/missiles. They're classified as Destructive Devices by the BATFE and you as a citizen can apply for approval to own them.

As for cruise missiles, those are covered by international treaty so outside the scope of discussion.
The amount of brigading by IOTA community also shows how toxic it is. Just look at the comments on the ieee article. Or the some of the tweets. They were also spamming the /r/MIT subreddit about the DCI.

Just watching this all unfold is making me realize how toxic parts of the cryptocurrency community is and it's making me really sad.

Someone who manages what we promise to the client and how much they pay for it.

A huge part of the role is just deciding requirements. Whether this thing is possible, how much it costs, keeping the client from sneaking in something impossible, and lowering the costs to us when we can't deliver something that is too expensive to build.

The person has to be good at not overpromising things. Or managing client expectations.

Many clients prefer waterfall because it's easy to estimate project costs but it tends to be extremely costly to both parties. So someone who can educate the client in how to work from an agile perspective, suited to their budget restrictions.

There's the legal landmine to maneuver. What happens when things go wrong.

There are also many unethical people, especially in large companies, who are experts at pushing people into those landmines. They ask for impossible things then refuse to pay when those conditions are not met.

So the ideal person or service needs to be good at reading clients and avoiding these kinds of contracts.
That's awesome. Yeah, a bunch of cities have abandoned or relaxed the minimums, sometimes on a zone basis if you're within X metres of a rapid transit stop.

7 Common Marketing Mistakes That Startups Must Circumvent – IQVIS Inc
Ridesharing solves one particular use case - some trip where either parking is too expensive, too much of a hassle, or both. It's great for quick trips into town or to the bar or to the airport. For pretty much every other use case, it is either too expensive, too inconvenient, or both. No one is about to sell their car for ridesharing if they need to ferry around their kid for extracurriculars, or go to the Costco and pick up lots of bulky items, or want to go skiing on the weekend; you need more drastic interventions for that, like reducing the availability or convenience of parking.
Perhaps the most interesting piece from the article:

Well, often there are multiple ways of using numpy operations to do what you want, so it's good to have an idea of what numpy is doing under the hood so you can use the right functionality for the job at hand.

For example, np.einsum for all its greatness in the past wasn't faster than np.tensordot, but it was more flexible. One can tell einsum to try and use the same underlying BLAS functions that tensordot uses (which can parallelise the computation) if applicable, and it will likely be default for einsum to perform this optimisation automatically once the devs iron out some bugs. But for now, it pays to know how the two methods are different.

Do you have expectations of privacy on someone else’s private property? Seems fair to assume surveillance in retail establishments or banks. The only exception I can think of is rented private property (hotel rooms, airbnb’s).
I remember in the first decade of this century and everyone was afraid of Wal Mart killing small business (and in some ways it did)- but now look at Wal-Mart...

I don't like Amazon on a philosophical basis- the same reason I don't like Wal-Mart, and Amazon is just the Wal-Mart of everything. Hopefully someone comes to their senses and breaks up companies who are able to use profits from various subsidiaries to undercut competitors in others.
I use acme.sh in production on several servers.

When I decided to use it, I was looking for something I could read and understand in less than a day. The one file approach helped this. Lots of code bases are designed for easy change, which often means many small files, so you find the right line easier if you know which file you have to go to.

Because of historic reasons, I use it mainly with Apache, which I configure manually. I know there are options for automatic update of the config, but these weren't there when I read the script first. For me personally there are two problems - maybe these are even addressed in new versions of acme.sh, I haven't checked yet.

1. Apache won't load the vhost config for https if it can't find the key and cert files. Which now means, I have to use a http-only config and another full featured http/https when the challenge is done.
2. My typos in (sub-)domains are one of the main sources of confusion when I try to get a new certificate. I think using dig or host and curl it should be possible to warn the user in this circumstances.
