Everyone I know who has ridden a dockless rentable electric scooter has absolutely loved them. I've used them to commute to/from work (what would normally be a 20 minute walk turns into <10 minutes if I'm in a rush), quickly return home from ~3 miles away after running into Golden Gate Park (too sweaty for a Lyft), and running errands to destinations a bit out of walking distance during rush hour when public transit/Lyft would be painfully slow. The added benefit is that the scootering was more fun and less or comparably expensive to the alternatives.

Scooters have advantages over bikes as well for this type of usage. It is far easier to switch to pedestrian mode (i.e. walking next to the scooter) when you need to navigate a crowded cross walk or slow down suddenly and get up on the sidewalk when an aggressive taxi/Lyft/bus stops short in front of you or turns across you. Your center of gravity is lower than on a bike lessening the impact from falls in some cases.

The parking debate seems pretty bimodal and has been debated seemingly endlessly already...

The safety concerns complaint is interesting. Lots of bikers already ride without helmets but no one seems to care/complain about them too much. Lots of complaints about safety riding on the sidewalks, but I haven't seen much hard evidence that collisions are actually happening en masse.

A 10-15 mph cap in SF seems totaly fine for what is meant to be a casual, relatively short distance means of travel.

To someone that believes the CCP, "China" and the Han ethnicity are equivalent, it is racist to dislike the government. This equivalence is basically official policy, and also ambiguous phrases like "Chinese people" further such equivalence.

Based on all the articles published about China in the past decade. Wired is especially egregious because they start a lot of misinformation.

In 2011, their headline of Foxconn was "1 Million workers, 90 Million Iphones, 17 suicides" despite the US suicide rate being much higher. Now, you still hear people talking about how terrible Apple and Foxconn are despite both being very desirable places to work for.

More recently, Wired released an article about China's plans for a social credit system. The article equated this with private credit scoring systems such as Sesame credit, even though they have nothing to do with each other. Yes, the social credit system is a bit extreme. Yes, Sesame credit is kind of creepy (but so is Facebook). No, China didn't decide to turn itself into a Brave New World.

Yet a lot of people are never really taught to do it. Perhaps they pick up this fundamental skill just fine after a couple whiteboarding sessions in the company.

If a company is rejecting candidates for not having a skill that is really easy and quick to obtain, they'd better not be one of these companies that keep complaining about shortage of talent.

In his explicit recursion example, the author questions why the compiler doesn't convert it into a tail call. The issue here is that the speed he gained in the tall call version had nothing to do with the tail call. It has to do with the fact that the accumulating parameter is strict. The explicitly recursive version is lazy, which means there is a thunk structure of (1 + 1 + ... ) being built up in memory, which is then evaluated. This overhead of building up this thunk, and then evaluating it (awful cache characteristics) is what he's seeing. By adding a bit of strictness, the author could likely get the optimizer to convert it into a strict tail call.
Then you're going to love HIPAA. That's a US law by the way.
Yes, absolutely. Some of us need structure to learn; and not all jobs provide the opportunity to continue to learn and level up. And for many whose employers have training budgets, it would be a justifiable and subsidized expense.

All the ethics and controversy of ScooterGate aside, this is a good move for those who like these scooters.

I've ridden them in SF a few times and they are extremely underpowered. When you hit the slightest incline they go <10mph. I have consistently wondered why they can't be as fast as Boosted Boards, which seem to fly up any hill in San Francisco. So ... case closed I guess.

I will just point out about the gas diffusion that up to ~100km or so above ground turbulent mixing is the prevalent force. You can look at concentration of argon gas (Ar2 ~80g/mol) which also does not change in that altitude.

About the PSC particles 'falling from gravity' keep in mind these are no longer gases (the operative word is 'particles') so you want to look at their density not molecular weight. (Simplistically, one mol of any gas is 22.4 L while one mol of water/ice is ~0.018 L.)

Rest assured you’re not the only one with such thoughts/questions. Here are my 2 cents...

As you correctly state, most of us being engineers, we have to accept some facts, initial conditions and axioms for the system/life we’re living in and unfortunately work with these constraints.
- Just accept that the universe around us exists. If it’s real, a simulation, a dream or whatever else suits you is irrelevant.
- That’s the difficult part, some (most?) humans understand our place in the universe and how meaningless our existence is in the vast time scales of the cosmos. Try to live your life everyday.
- We’re just like any other animal or complex machine or a PC. Eventually we’ll “break down” and will suffer or be unfortunate. Our habits, environment, genes, whatever other factor, affects this but at the end of the day we’ll all die.

Try not to overthink it, try to keep your mind occupied with other (more relaxing/fun) activities, educate yourself so as to better understand the system you’re part of and spent some quality time with other humans, otherwise you might fall into one of the many mental medical conditions.

Just keep tight, we’re all into this.
What I really don't understand is that the same services exist, but inverted, for not only acceptable but _recommended_ use cases. (e.g. it's common in some of the P2P communities I participate in to treat some of these virus scanning sites as a "broad filter" initial vetting for questionable items) Without these services, I would have, on multiple occasions in the past, installed rootkits.

What differentiates from a site saying "your executable is safe" from saying "your malware wasn't detected"? Is it really an aspect of Intent in the law? I find this highly worrying absent comforting words from someone actually versed in the legal framework.
I saw this first at that exact burger king and honestly doesn't notice it have much of an impact on the area (there were never huge numbers of homeless directly outside it asides from around 9 waiting for the library to open) but I've seen it in a lot of places since. Wasn't even remotely close to the grossest BK in SF (the one at mission and 16th is so shabby that I'm almost in awe).

Most recently in the old shopping centre in Stratford; a place where, due to some weird zoning laws, isn't allowed to kick out homeless people. The focus is always on moving homeless.

Oddly it seems like the natural endpoint for where classical music has been positioned in society. A kind easy listening that is treated so formally it now carries a strong stuffy and oppressive aura.

Also, thinking about it further, it's relatively easy to "lift" a function `String → Baz` to operate on structs like `{x: Int, y: Int, z: String}` (see Haskell's Lens), but it's not really possible to do it the other way.
You misunderstand the Casimir effect. It's a relativistic analogue of the van der Waals interaction, with a very curious alternative derivation from zero point energies. It is not free/negative energy, it is not free momentum, it was never a controversial subject, we only didn't have the practical means to measure it.

Exploiting the Casimir effect can't give free momentum, because the derivation of the force is rooted in quantum field theory, which like any other physical theory of the last 400 years contains conservation of momentum at its very core.
Neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow: ‘Consciousness is a really funny word’
I recently read that there was a surge in Lord Byron’s popularity in the USA in the 1920s and 1930s. I find that so hard to believe. It must have simply vanished from American consciousness without a trace after the war (Stefan Zweig’s novels are a similar case).

How many American schoolchildren in the last several decades read any Byron? Even at the university level, I never read him directly, I only heard some things about him that were mainly negative, like his sexism, or his role in insisting that a newly independent Greece revive the Ancient Greek culture that Western Europeans expected from it, when it fact Greece had been a deeply Orthodox Christian society for 1500 years and all those pagan gods and Athenian or Spartan values had long been forgotten.

This 1982 piece is a riff on "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche", which came out that same year. Quoting Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don%27t_Eat_Quiche ,

> Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, by American Bruce Feirstein, is a bestselling tongue-in-cheek book satirizing stereotypes of masculinity, published in 1982 (ISBN 0-671-44831-5).

> It popularized the term quiche-eater, referring to a man who is a dilettante, a trend-chaser, an over-anxious conformist to fashionable forms of lifestyle, and socially correct behaviors and opinions, one who eschews (or merely lacks) the traditional masculine virtue of tough self-assurance.

In this case, quiche-eaters use Pascal, and Real Programmers use FORTRAN 66.

Another way to look at silence is to see it as a mode of experiencing, rather than a lack of sound waves reaching our ears. Can we tune off the perception of the sounds around us?

If we can, is that a valid experience of silence? In fact, it might even be a more meaningful interpretation of silence than as the physical absence of sound -- after all, even when there is an absence of sound, we can be holding a conversation in our heads with a frenemy...

There’s a weird phenomenon in life, and especially the arts, that people with a certain level of real or perceived expertise/accomplishment sometimes feel a sense of ownership over a medium. Their aesthetics start to seem a bit less like something personal, and more like what they’d enforce during a period of martial law. In the U.K. there’s a group that’s fanatically against elevator music. Oh, fair enough, but one of their leaders is against music not being performed live. He’s taken his love and appreciation of something and turned it into a burden.

My personal guess is that in some fields expertise is ultimately self-justifying. What is art after all? Whatever notable artists and critics and dealers say it is. Try that same shit in software, and you’ll lose your job. At some point the artistic type can be so thoroughly cut off from challenge to their beliefs that they feel free to impose them on society without much reflection.

There is a difference between design decisions based on "striving to achieve presence" and design decisions based on "not make people vomit". And high fps with good tracking is closer to "not make people vomit" group.

I agree that it's okay to break presence to do something (i would trade presence for fun for example) and let user push the limit if he can handle it, but you have to understand that VR is already a niche market, so devs usually are just playing it safe.
That's a ridiculous response, you totally missed the point.

I think the existing understanding of evolution is still fine. Darwin wrote,

1.More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.

2. Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable.

3. Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.

4. When reproductive isolation occurs new species will form.

When Darwin proposed this, he didn't have any idea of molecular genetics, let alone epigenetics. Mendel too wrote about alleles but he didn't know about base pairs of DNA. Evolution really only concerns phenotypic variation, not the underlying basis for it, so it doesn't matter if the variation is due to a genetic or epigenetic change.

2/3:

Carrying that analogy further, let's say we did "conquer" the perception of sound down to switching it off. But our visual stimuli is very active. Either we are captivated by a busy scene in front of us, or though we have our eyes closed, we are actively dreaming up images. We are still busy. Technically silent, but not silent in the spirit of the concept.

So to extend our contemplation, perhaps true silence is when we tune off all perception -- sounds, sights, smells, touch, taste and yes, abstract thoughts too. For if we are busy thinking up, say, a proof to Pythagoras theorem, that doesn't quite fit the bill of the concept of silence either, even if there are no sights/sounds/etc involved.

Agreed. HackerNews has a greater than average amount of developers that use Haskell, F#, OCaml, Scheme, and other languages which heavily promote recursion. I'm not sure if I personally find iteration easier because I learned it first, it matches my brain better, or if it is indeed easier for most of the population.
You may be missing a point for comparison. My understanding was always that international packages, due to negotiated relationships (especially with china) end up being a FAR larger burden on domestic mail carriers in terms of cost.[0]

I haven't done sufficient research to know how these compare and I would of course be convinced otherwise if the numbers were weighted opposite what I understand them to be, but on the surface, I find that to attack Amazon while leaving this on the table is taking the metaphorical bait (Trump has been on an anti-amazon warpath for a while now, my own opinions aside) to the deficit of attacking The Real Problem.

You need to re-read my comment, especially the sentence after the one you partially quoted. What I was getting at was that someone who inadvertently behaves like a propagandist should re-evaluate their behavior and modify it, because it's destructive (if it wasn't destructive, why would the propagandist do it?). For instance, someone pushing hyper-partisan memes on Facebook should stop because Russians agents literally do that same thing as a disruption tactic.
