I never really liked co-workers.

What do you think the difficulty of doing this for people running stop signs would be? Seems like a different problem as multiple frames would need to be considered.
You can do a lot worse than listening to an audiobook while driving.
Here's Susan Simpson's latest blog on the matter, with some interesting thoughts on what might have happened and why:

This may have been wry humor on your part, but of course there is no Safari on Android... I do see the behavior you describe in the News & Weather app, which likes to open links in embedded Chrome Web Views (unless I long-press and then they will offer to open in browser, which happens to be FF).
Gmail does this really nicely. I use Brave browser and the web view works perfectly.
Do you think the USDs positions as the international reserve currency would change the effects of America buying back it's own debt?
179 people since 2000 is not a lot for LA? That's ~10 annually, or 0.00025% of the population. The total traffic fatality rate is about 240-260/year[0], or ~25x that. It seems remarkable that street racing is only ~4% of the total.

I guess the idea is that these deaths are preventable? So are the rest of the traffic fatalities. These deaths are caused by adolescents making irrational choices? That's probably not unique to this type of collision either.

I don't understand the goal of the focus piece other than to shift blame off the majority of traffic fatalities onto some unlikable population (street racers) that isn't actually responsible for a large portion of the deaths.

Seems a good opportunity for a startup, if they can solve the
problem of how to deliver the stuff without knowing the delivery address (if you are into this, you don’t want anybody to know where your food is)

Such a startup could also offer to take in that 25 year old 1/25th part to give it to a food bank, making the purchase deductible as a gift to charity.

Unfortunately, customers only need to start replacing stuff after years (you may want to replace 1/25th a year on average, but do you really want to start doing that a year after buying this?)
They do say within $1.

But yea it's a little weird to attempt to cover your tracks and then only vary the total by 28 cents.
In your example, double parking sounds like a symptom of a larger problem: too many vehicles on the street and not enough parking.

Reform & enforcement should be focused on the root of the issue: more temporary parking & to make it more expensive & less convenient to own and store a vehicle in the city.
Are you a local (like grew up in LA) or just live there now? I grew up there (5th generation) - I remember street racing being a big deal in my teen years and I think some investment in educating the youth would be worthwhile. 3 kids from my school I grew up with were killed in a street race in 11th grade. Sure, if it's this or that sort of thing, invest in the distracted drivers, but I think the county can work on both...
That's why they're doing stop and frisk and writing people up on drug charges right?

> Well, the data not being available doesn't necessarily mean that people weren't killed, either.

I generally reject arguments of this form, because:

1. In the absence of real data, they are essentially just fear mongering.

2. It violates the general principle of innocent until proven guilty, because we are assuming Chelsea Manning is guilty of getting people killed without evidence that this is the case.

3. Accepting arguments of this form puts a strong incentive on those in charge to classify everything so that they can always rely on uncertainty to fuel fear. In some sense this incentive is the root cause of everything we are discussing.

> That's not necessarily a good argument against leaking at all, in my opinion, though many consider it so.

That's definitely not a good arguments against leaking at all. The much more interesting question in my mind is: in a situation where people might have been hurt or killed because of a leak is it right to be critical of the leaker in stead of focusing on the contents of the leak. Personally I (somewhat predictably) would say no. For the reasons above, and also because, Chelsea Manning exposed plenty of instances where people definitely were hurt and killed (in a situation where the leak contained lower stakes information, my opinion might be different).

In Civ 6 the Gandhi AI will actually never declare war on you, AFAIK. For the instance where a human player is controlling Gandhi and declares war, he has a unique cutscene where he lampshades the absurdity of the situation. The Gandhi AI does have an uncharacteristically large chance of "randomly" spawning with the agenda that makes him revere nuclear weapons, as a throwback to Civ 1.

Japan's overall population is already shrinking (not hard to find references) but that masks another trend - population flight to central Tokyo. [0]

So it's best to treat central Tokyo as a separate RE market from overall Japan

This type of enforcement pays for itself. Quick google search shows $115-150 for blocking a bus lane by standing parking or other means. Same price for bike lanes. That's $115 for a few minutes of work while on patrol or checking meters. You get 4 in an hour (seems likely) you're doing very well.

Ever heard of speed traps? Jurisdictions that pay for themselves by ruining a stretch of highway. Same deal here.

I'm not saying this is a good thing. However saying that it's "limited budget for enforcement" is just wrong. It is in fact a "Revenue Generation Opportunity".
Worth noting is that in the spectrum and history of children's programming, MRN is the only show that didn't use jump cuts (for the in-house scenes, at least, I don't remember the external stuff). The camera just pans and fades, and there's never those jarring transitions from one shot to the next.

Rogers' personality aside, even the presentation of the show itself was meant to be gentle.

The actual solution is to separate the layers.

Top: Human scale movement (pedestrians, non-motorized and 'very' small motor (1 HP per human mass being moved) personal transport devices (think wheel chairs and maybe slow-speed scooters/electrically assisted bikes).

Mid (down): delivery / private vehicle / emergency services.

Lower: Bulk public transit (subways and the like).

While we're at it, put parks and recreation areas in the middle of the human level of traffic. Maybe storefronts along the sides.

I completely agree, and I absolutely wasn't trying to draw a comparison between their actions.
Not in many other states. MO for example specifically puts the onus of who is operating your motor vehicle on you, the owner. Or you need to declare it stolen.
I thought it was hilarious that the Coinbase blog announcement of their tax reporting explicitly states that this reporting is completely useless for the 99% of Coinbase users who have transactions on other exchanges and ICO's.

I have a job at a large US company. Although I have admin rights and I can install basically anything I want, there is a script that sets the default browser at startup. Every time I encounter it, I get annoyed and I remember to not use the default browser (It is Edge).
So what's the best way to hedge against something like this?
I have very mixed feelings about Civ 5 after ~200 hours. I started with BNW but it still never felt quite finished – the tech pacing & unit balancing always felt a bit off; the AI, trade, & diplomacy felt unfinished; and multiplayer was a flaming dumpster fire (we had to scrub a game a hundred turns in when it deadlocked, and their support took 3 weeks to say they didn’t support Macs and close the ticket (it was running on Windows)).

There was so much polish in other areas that it was odd that the rough edges were never sanded down. The bad AI & especially diplomacy were one of the most immersion-breaking experiences and unlike some of the other tweaks they haven’t been well solved by community modders.

The silliest thing about Edge is that you can't search through your bookmarks ("favorites") or history. That alone makes it an automatic no for me. There are no other features they could add to get me to switch, I can't believe they don't have it already.

Personally, for fiction, my retention is higher in audio form because it forces me to read slower. I have a bad habit of getting into a speed-reading mode otherwise where I think I'm retaining everything but I'm actually skipping over details.

I've found books that I thought were mediocre were much better as audiobooks because the pace forced me to really listen to and appreciate the quality of the prose.

I do agree that more technical material is more awkward in audio form and really benefits from being able to flip back and forth for reference in a real book.

Seattle is kind of an anomaly in a lot of ways where people actually pay attention to the laws and follow them for the intended purpose more than their own benefit. Anecdotal evidence, when they were fixing an expansion joint on I-90 a few years ago they needed 80k people not to drive that week over I-90. They estimated that 130k people worked from home that week. Employers were totally cool about it too. "yeah work from home this week".

I think the importance of a website is vastly overestimated. The only question a business owner generally cares about is “does this solve my problem”. Ive learned pretty quickly when searching for solutions to ignore both smarmy marketing nonsense and slick, perfectly designed websites alike.

Zuora makes a lot of money with their “bad” website, so it obviously doesn’t matter very much.

There's no excuse, it's about a different philosophy.

AWS gives you lots of tuning controls and complexity while GCP tends to hide most of it with easier scaling and performance. It'll vary with individual products themselves but it looks like Cloud SQL is designed with that general outlook.

None of the clouds are perfect, the only viable strategy is to use the best parts of them all that fit your needs.
> > Perhaps you had problems with the concepts of Lisp packages (namespaces)?

> Rather unlikely. The namespaces are pretty easy to understand conceptually, and their interface is pretty minimal.

Packages can definitely give beginners trouble. I don't think it's that uncommon for newcomers to Lisp to have REPL sessions like this:

CL-USER> (ql:quickload :iterate)
(:ITERATE)
CL-USER> (iter (for i below 10) (collect i))
;; Error: 3 undefined functions and two undefined variables

Then they find out they need to use the package first:

CL-USER> (use-package :iterate)
;; Error: 3 NAME-CONFLICTs saying that the symbols ITER and friends
;; are already accessible

Then they throw their hands in the air about how frustrating Lisp tooling is. For a less obvious example, imagine they had just been using LOOP normally at some point in the past in that REPL session before trying to bring ITERATE in. Once you understand how symbols and packages work, it's easy to see why it works the way it does, but it's also easy to see how a beginner could get totally lost.
Lightning-fast testing for ClojureScript React components

Yes, and that's dangerous and what's wrong with mixing zones - forcing cyclists to merge with fast-moving cars endangers them. It's much safer to treat bikes like fast-moving pedestrian traffic crossing with the light; let them keep moving and turn perpendicularly across the bike lane.

Yes, that means the car should come to a stop if there are cyclists oncoming, but you'd do the same in courtesy to pedestrians in the crosswalk or to cars coming he other way while you make a left turn.
Wow, really makes me think about Milton Friedman's discussions on the many unconventional and unstated ways a government can effectively tax its people through a cost that is not directly labeled as a tax. Wish I had a quote handy but there should be something along these lines in his "Myths That Conceal Reality" talk

But that would make the story even more awesome, somehow. It's about a kid who used social engineering to conjure an alternate reality out of thin air, simultaneously leading his friends through a metaphorical forbidden door and a literal one.

This is probably how myths, if not entire religions, get started. A grain of truth wrapped in a larger web of deceit, spun by an insignificant spider who doesn't even know, herself, how far it will ultimately reach.

Blocking a bike lane is potentially causing severe injury to a bicyclist, as now your car is blocking their path and they could end up smashing into your illicitly parked vehicle.

I've had friends end up going through the rear windshields of cars, getting doored, etc here in Seattle, so even though I don't bike, I make a point to go and harass people illegally parked in bike lanes (which is really common north of the ship canal).

What if a bike can't stop in time coming down the hill? They're going to likely get horribly injured due to your illegal parking job. The bike lane is for bikes exclusively, even in the suburbs.
