While they don't blink at the costs of car registration, fuel and maintenance cost (not to mention initial outlay), a few hundred dollars on a bicycle or scooter is seen as quite a leap of faith because they're unsure about whether they can adapt to fit it into their lives.

I don't think that stated figures for Ford hybrids are representative. I rented a Fusion Hybrid and got more like mid 30s. Really, no better than a non-hybrid Altima. It's been widely reported in the automotive press that the Fusion and C-Max don't live up to their EPA figures.

And my figure is based on the mpg computer - in every car I've ever calculated using actual gas put in vs the tripmeter, mileage is even less than the automatically calculated figure.
Someone above did some Googling and concluded that Loot Boxes have 10x the spending that MtG does. It's already a bigger market, despite its relative newness.

Project Censored tracks underreported stories.

These are overwhelmingly negative. They're typically systemic (e.g., they aren't easily solved, and they are complex, which means hard to report and make accessible).

>"I'm a big fan of the Manhattan approach -- just have a big ass grid with much less distinction between so many hierarchies."

Most of Los Angeles is laid out in a grid. Just look at a map. Almost the entire LA basin is a grid. The stops at the hills of course but then a grid resume in the valley.

Have you been to Manhattan any time recently? Because traffic is really bad. And Manhattan also has a hierarchy. Highways - West Side Highway and the Hudson. Arterials - 42nd, 34th, 23rd 14th. And then smaller residential streets.

Also Manhattan is 13 miles long by 2 miles wide. Los Angeles is close to 500 square miles. You can' really compare them.
I tried them all (not joking: I buy every seriously-looking E-mail app). They all failed in one way or another, the biggest problem usually being speed.

My #2 is Spark, which I actually use on iOS, but on Mac it's a bit too slow, plus it actually failed to send an E-mail without notifying me or returning the E-mail (I did report this as a bug), which I consider a showstopper. So Mail.app it is.

Why does public transit increase travel times? Good public transport is far more efficient than car-driving, for the simple fact that you can fit fifty people on a bus, and five hundred on a train. This massively alleviates congestion, is vastly more mechanically efficient, and massively simplifies planning.

In a city with bicycle lanes, bikes are a lot faster than cars for short trips, and they require far less infrastructure - since bike lanes are about a third of the width of a road, and they require no dedicated parking space. Not to mention the fact that bikes are far cheaper to own and operate.

I can understand having a sentimental attachment to cars - but in practical terms, they're a ridiculous solution to the problem of mass transit.
> At the end of January 2018, the seven largest-cap stocks in the world were all tech fliers: Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Tencent, and Alibaba.

Arguably we're just bucketing companies poorly. "Tech" isn't a commodity, clientele, or business model.

We don't group companies based on the fact that they notably have physical storefronts. Otherwise H&M, Ford, H&R Block, and McDonald's would all be in the "brick and mortar" sector.

If the trend is "software is eating the world", it stands to reason that the market will be more and more "tech" over time.

You dismiss fair use but the use here sits well with the four factors IMO.

They freely (libre and gratis) provide the files for download, the additional terms are laid out in contract. There's lots of precedent for assumed consent on web provided content.

They weren't selling the content they were selling facilitation of access to it. The discs provide a convenient means for people who are already licensed users of the content. Saying this is copyright infringement is like charging a router manufacturer or ISP with infringement.

In any case, this increases the value of MS Windows for those users, so actual damages are negative.

Given no end user ever acquired the media via this means the puniary damages are extraordinarily harsh. Add to that the rejection of expert witness, and the choice to assume provision of install media - that can't be used without a license - amounts to the full costs of a software product and I fail to understand how you can possibly consider this to be an even handed application of the USC.
The title is misleading, when they say low-delay, really they mean over UDP instead of TCP. Their answer to video over UDP is a marginal efficiency gain in a forward error correction algorithm called RLNC.

I have seen 85 octane, never 82. Probably in Colorado. The theory seems to be that lower octane is tolerable at high altitude, so you see it in some of the western mountain areas. But there seems to be some dispute over whether lower octane is acceptable in modern cars.
Another I recommend trying is ensuring any indoor daytime lighting you use is broad spectrum (not just a [edit] cool [/edit] temperature).

Also on this subject, John Ott's books on light are a great read. In the 50s he was doing time-lapse films of plants for Disney and as he noticed his plants growing and blooming differently under different light, became basically obsessed, expanded his experiments to humans and cells and pushed an agenda of light quality that few wanted to hear the rest of his life.
Contested yes, it seems they are downright detested. No one wants to talk about this. In the west because of how political anything related to IQ is, I doubt much will happen here. It's more likely China will take the lead in the area of research.

>In Plomin’s study, the young person with the second-highest GPS for intelligence achieved results only slightly above average. That’s not surprising, though: environmental factors still play an important role.

The effect can also be nonlinear.

As far as I know correlation between wide polygenic score (GPS) and intelligence is linear (r ≈ 0.30) only because linear correlation is measured? It would be interesting to see the effect of wide polygenic score to different extremes, very high and low g.

I would hypothesize that genes are more important factor in low intelligence
scores than they are in high IQ. Environmental factors seem to work the same way.

There is some evidence that there is a right skew to the IQ distribution and it's not perfectly normal.

What are those? I'm fond of Tesla, but they don't have an insurmountable moat around their technology. There's nothing intrinsically novel about their approach (especially outside the US where direct to consumer is a common model), they just had the benefit of a clean slate to build it out, rather than incrementally changing systems, platforms and procedures like other car manufacturers.

The halo of an eccentric billionaire genius wears off pretty quickly if they can't continue to compete on price, design, safety, and other areas of public perception.

It remains to be seen if Tesla engineers are objectively "better" than those at other car manufacturers, because very few directly compete at present. The number of "ground up" electric cars is quite small, compared with ones hamstrung by retrofitting electric powertrains into existing platforms.

> Elon Musk's PR stunts and Twitter feed are a much more effective method of advertising than the TV and Internet ads other car companies use.

Elon Musk's PR stunts and Twitter feed are a much more effective method of advertising to the ahead-of-the-curve, switched on audience who're interested in Tesla's current offering than the TV and Internet ads other car companies use. Again, there's nothing yet showing you can extrapolate this out once other manufacturers are truly competing in the same space.

I think they're great, and I want one - but we do need to be a little pragmatic about their position in the industry.

It’s insane how we don’t even notice how much public space is devoted to cars:

For a typical residential street, it’s 2/3: two lanes of traffic, two lanes for parking, vs two sidewalks. All are about the same width.

That primacy of the car is what needs to change. Autonomous driving could go a long way, by allowing offside parking and increased utilization of shared cars. But even before, just inconveniencing drivers by eliminating one lane of parking would open up enough space to accommodate safe bike and scooter lanes.

Next up is the wasteland of endless parking lots the US is so fond of, and that unnecessarily decreases density to maybe a third of what’s easily possible. But it’ll take far more time to heal that particular hellscape.
Tell me about it. If you live the summer far above the arctic circle, you will soon lose your precious synchronicity. You sleep when there is nothing else to do, 12 hours if needed. Fishermen seem to prefer past midnight hours because the wind is minimal and flying bugs come close to water attracting salmon. And afternoons are best time to sleep, as there might be excess heat and mosquitoes fly high. I find these conditions to be the optimal, and feel quite depressed when the annoying darkness gradually creeps in.
I'm not sure where that commenter is posting from, but isn't cycling on the sidewalk _illegal_ in most places (except in sidewalk-inset bike lanes)? It's quite reasonable to walk on a sidewalk without expecting bikes to hit you; they shouldn't be there in the first place.
Maybe. In my experience, simply the idea of getting on a bus frightens average Americans. The train seems less scary. So for those that have the freedom to make the choice, the bus is not the choice they make. And trains are rare save for a few cities.
I think the problem is, you can't really quantify something that isn't clearly defined. Intelligence is very badly defined. So IQ is the kind of fundamentally flawed science that lends itself very easily to politicization - just like eugenics before it. Leading this area of research is really just a waste of everybody's time - just like leading the 'area' of phrenology.

There's lots of interesting scientific work about definable attributes of thinking beings - like problem-solving ability, or memory, or spatial sense. These don't suffer the same 'politics' problem, since their topics are clear and possible to concisely express.
The only predictive thing of people with high IQs is that they’re going to really like board games. That’s about it.

What is your point in saying this?

That is found in the latest version of the report you linked to, or even the version you linked.
