Maybe I'm out of the loop, but why?
Yeah, it seems like all the little stuff, bikes, ebikes, and electric scooters should Idaho stop.

The stuff that kills people should have to do the full stop.

> How can this be turned around?

Laslo Bock's take on this might be helpful -- For us, there's not a sense that any individual has to be the complete package. We find you build a better team when you think about the balance and portfolio of skills within that team, rather than say, "I need one person who's got it all." There's actually not that many people who have it all on the planet.

It was supposed to be called LiveScript if I remember correctly. A lot better than other options. A pity the name was messed up.
Spoken like a true statistician :)
A likely reason is that it makes it possible to iterate through a list like `'((1 2) () (a b c))`. If you have to do in-band signaling, make it something unique and obscure.
Thanks. My first question was going to be: Who are you?
Maybe, but keep in mind that batteries are expensive and energy intense to manufacture. When a battery goes through many cycles in a year, the cost and energy investment are marginal.

The problem is stockpiling. If we have a lot of solar, we will need to stockpile energy in the summer for the winter.

Buying a giant battery that charges in the summer so I can run an electric heater in the winter is probably more expensive than figuring out how to manufacture a flammable gas. If I use it for 20 years, and take into account the energy used to manufacture, I wonder what the "true" efficiency is?

It's still very affordable to heat with wood, (which captures CO2 from the air,) so I'm rather confident we can figure out how to do this at scale.

Seattle has not "put the breaks" on bike sharing. Last year they removed the station based bikes, but there are now tons of bike sharing going on from Ofo, Lime, Pronto, and other competitors [1].

I'm probably missing something, but I have some serious concerns about the effectiveness of this approach to charity.

First of all, without some coordinated effort to spread out donations, won't some of the more effective charities still suffer? If everyone gives to the top 4 charities, for example, won't the 5th most effective one suffer? I don't believe this movement yet has the traction behind it to have this kind of negative effect, but won't it get worse as the movement grows?

Second of all, who decides what is the most effective cause (or who interprets the studies that indicate which cause is most effective)? If I could spend 1 dollar and know it would save 5 lives or prevent 50 people from living with horrible mental illness, I would have trouble deciding which one to give to, even if given empirical evidence as to which is cause is the most beneficial to society. Any field dealing with this many human variables is bound to produce at least some skewed results. To me, it seems like the trolley problem with a limitless number of tracks with different situations.

Third of all, some of the causes that are not effective might still benefit from some amount of involvement. The example they give - volunteering at a soup kitchen - is one such example. Say giving to the homeless is effective, but volunteering at a soup kitchen is not. Someone still needs to volunteer at the soup kitchen, even if it's not many people.

It didn't start as EMCAscript. It started as Mocha. Javascript is the most famous implementation of it, but there's also ActionScript, JScript, and countless others.
Have just checked; we're seeing both Visa and Visa Debit having problems.
i've tried both bird scooters and jump bikes in san francisco and really enjoyed them both, to my surprise. the scooters are a little easier to maneuver in traffic, while the bikes are faster and have longer range.

my bike was stolen a couple years ago, shifting me to lyft/uber as a result, but lately i've become less enthusiastic about those services.

anyone have suggestions on electric scooter or electric bike models to buy? ideally something light (and possibly foldable) for shorter trips (within 3-5 miles) and last mile connections off public transportation.

what makes you say that ? I develop a C++/Qt app and fix bugs and add new features without any problems and without having to care to mac / windows / linux specific stuff.
But "you" are not "you" when you post on an anonymous imageboard. Most boards don't even have poster IDs, so you can't even distinguish individuals with multiple posts in the same thread. You're just seeing a bunch of posts from random people who could even be replying to themselves, and you have no way of knowing, unless you obsessively check the "unique IPs in this thread" number as new posts flow in.

I post on HN with my real name, but you use a pseudonym. Nevertheless, your pseudonym has a posting history and karma number attached to it, so anything you post will "stick with you" in a persistent manner. Discussions somewhat resemble real-life discussion because one can track who's saying what, what everyone's said in the past, and so forth. If I flame you, my post probably gets deleted and I might even get banned, because that's how this community has decided to moderate itself.

Anonymous imageboards like 4chan are wholly different beasts altogether. If I post something foolish here on HN, perhaps talking out of my ass, saying something incorrect, I'd get downvotes and comments telling me why I'm wrong. You might even remember my handle as "that one guy who said the dumb incorrect thing one time" next time you see it. on 4chan, when you make a dumb post and everyone dogpiles on you, calling you out for your idiocy and calling you bad names, you can just close the tab and move on in your life. People aren't attacking YOU, they're attacking Post #418317258, and its author has closed the tab and permanently disassociated himself from it.
So when you download something that is not a torrent, you close your browser ?
It was originally called Mocha, actually! The history of its names is really interesting.
I don't know but people call each other worse things than that here, even if they are all white. I wont even repeat the things they say.

Do not think that whites are all like those people.

> Your proposed solution gives companies zero incentive to minimize data collected

The expense of producing the data isn't supposed to be an incentive to minimize data collected, that is what the other sections are for. For large companies it wouldn't be regardless because they could automate the process.

> and even incentivizes them to make fulfilling such a request as convoluted and expensive as possible.

A company charging outrageous prices would obviously invite investigative scrutiny.
I think they meant "sidewalk", given the rest of the context.
But it's still in a lot of toothpastes. In that form it's really easy to ingest it...
That would result in Wyoming congressmen having less than 2,000 constituents each, while Californian congressmen would have over 127,000 each. Wyoming voters would have about 65x as much power as California voters in the house.

True. To be honest I don't know how their stuff works in detail. My main point was that most of the officially stated needs for data collection can be met with much less data if you really think about it. Until now most incentives were for collecting as much as possible.
Not LGPL though.

For charting, Qwt is a pretty mature library now. The documentation is somewhat sparse, but complete if you look at the Doxygen + examples as well. The author is active on the Qt forums too.

The firefox extension is incompatible with the current firefox version, and the UX of WordWeb is ... incomparably bad.
Living in SF I think this is totally false. I see a bike on the street once in a blue moon

In Houston, I'd see bike "momentum hacks" often in all the occasions I'd see a bike. You don't see them that often, but they are often alarming, sometimes catastrophic, and sometimes fatal. I recently saw SF helmet-cam footage of an intelligent, conscientious biking coworker, who decided to pass a van on the right, only to find that the van was turning right. While trying to make a left in busy traffic, I was ambushed by a bike-bro in North Beach. If I spotted him a fraction of a second later, he would have been catapulted by the instant torque of an electric car.

"Momentum hacks" are not that frequent, but given the relative infrequency of cyclists as compared to cars, the frequency of severe flirting with catastrophe is quite alarming. They cause vehicle operators who are 100X more fragile to act as if they were nigh invulnerable.
It's also worth noting that Julia's JIT isn't tracing: it does all its compilation before the code is run (unless it hits a path which hasn't been run before, or wasn't inlined, in which case it runs the compiler again). I've heard it described as "really an ahead-of-time compiler that just runs really, really late".
Interesting to see DNA forensic methods substitute for traditional anthropologic and historical studies. The next wave of social collapse was much better known due to established lore and culture.

Emacs is not optimized for customizations. It allows to customize everything, but the efforts required often becomes a programming project on its own. 20 years ago I spent eventually months to make the buffers switch the way I liked. Yes, i made it work precisely the way I wanted, but I suspect it would be easier to implement that feature in a native code as a patch for an editor where a configuration is just an ini file.
Working in downtown DC, I've been blown away with the popularity of the electric scooters. The bikeshare bikes mostly go unused (unless they end up in the bottom of the Potomac), but I'm seeing multiple middle-aged business people scootering along every day. Never would have guessed it in such a serious town.
Well that's the problem, man.

And asymptotically is not the right word either, because n^3 is asymptotically different from n^2. You probably meant poly-time reducible, whichs is quite different from "the same".
Not addressing scooters because I haven't encountered many of them, I will say though that I have a burning hatred for e-bikes (specifically the ones they try to come off with the Vespa look).... at least the way they are handled in my area (Ontario, Canada).

They require no license to ride, they are easily modifiable to go above the recommended speed, and seem to attract owners who have no safety concerns in their head at all (not wearing proper gear, having no clue how to operate in traffic, etc)... most often they become the vehicle of choice for people who have had their licenses taken away due to DUI charges.

While every group (drivers, cyclists, etc) have things people can point to and complain about I've never seen a group so disrespectful of others on the road, so clueless to their surroundings, and have as little grasp of basic safety as the majority of e-bike users on the road.

My opinion is if it is powered by anything other than your own legs it should be classified the same as a moped and require insurance, some sort of training and licensing to be allowed on the road.
Most of the hate seems to come from people discarding them in inconvenient places like the middle of the sidewalk and in the last open parking spot on the street. They're neon colored litter when not in the "nests" or being actively ridden.
There are many things in the Tor Browser that benefit privacy that are separate from the use of the Tor network, and it's these things that Firefox is most likely to adopt.
Good or at least decent kings have to work quite a lot. Or at least had to when being a king meant something. You still have to rule the kingdom, and watch you back so your lords and your relatives do not depose you. Of course, you can give up and just relax, but this can end up bad for you and the state...
The Tesla Model 3 cost $28,000 to build
Yeah, but then I'd have to use Firefox for all my browsing.

Tabbed browsing on Firefox is abysmal. I also like going back into my browser history.

It's like Firefox was only designed for viewing porn.
Ok, we'll ramp 'payment chaos' down to 'increased decline rates'.
Pardon my GenZ analogy:

Like YouTube, you would end up with superstar representatives that would capture an even larger share than the most powerful do now. And the fact that they wouldn't even have a home district would mean that they would be accountable to absolutely no-one besides those who helped them achieve their superstar status. So yes, you would have "your rep" but he would be like a small you-tuber compared to PewDiePie—4k subs vs. 100,000,000.
