Pothole? I lip on a sidewalk slab is enough to dump a scooter.
Glanced at a TV the other day, and found a program showing off a large sized electric "kickbike". It had the tires of a bicycle, but was operated like one of these scooters. Even seemed to use much the same drive train etc of an electric bicycle.
Here in Sweden many former Visa outfits have gone to Mastercard, so now it's sort of hard to find a Visa CC here. I've gone out of my way to have one Visa and one MC though.
I'm over 40 and I totally get it, youtube is guaranteed to have something entertaining on it that I can find in seconds. Facebook, not so much.
"Grab some 8yo, throw them in front of the RLM reviews, and tell them it's Star Wars... are they gonna watch it and be equally satisfied?"

That is not the question the law asks. The question the law asks is the one I gave. It is naked and unashamedly commercial in nature. A more way of phrasing it might be, grab an 8yo who has not seen the movie in question, show them the review, maybe take a moment to wonder if that's necessarily a good idea for this specific review, and then ask them if they are still interested in seeing the movie. Or perhaps better, if we're talking 8, sit them in front of the movie and see if perhaps they wander away halfway through because they already know the ending.

At the margin, the answer is likely to be that the review substantially reduces the need to consume the original content. That is, for a single case it's trivial to imagine anything you want happening. But if you imagine repeating that experiment thousands of times, is the desire to view going to go down? It's easy to hypothesize your kid saying "yes I still want to see it all the way through in fact I want it more than ever" but that's just an assertion moreso than an argument. It's a possible outcome, but I find it much easier to believe that at the margin, desire is reduced. In that case it would be very likely to fall afoul of current fair use law; even given that again I fully stipulate their superficial conformance to a number of the 4-part test for fair use in US judicial decisions they could still lose.

Why do people have to stop it from spreading? If it's so obviously wrong, then nobody will believe it anyway. Why do people need to be protected from "politically incorrect" viewpoints? I believe people aren't lemmings who must be steered towards the "right" ideology. I'd rather be exposed to everything, and I will choose what I want to believe on my own.

These reactionary calls to ban speech you don't like just makes your own position seem weak. Makes it look like you're afraid of what they have to say because it might be right. Nothing is above debate.

For your information, those people are the absolute minority, even in 4chan. Nobody enjoys having their thread derailed due to politics. "Keep /pol/ in /pol/".

Segways have long been one of my go-to examples of how new tech that doesn't fit with existing infrastructure can have a lot of adoption challenges.

The company was certainly aware of it. Hence all their lobbying.

But they really don't fit well with roads, especially where there aren't bike lanes. And they're a poor fit for sidewalks, especially if you want to go faster than walking pace. (And, if you don't, I'm not sure what their point is.)

one difference i've already noticed between limebike scooters and bird is in the scooters themselves.

limebike scooters' bells are on a flimsy spring so most of the time theyre broken. the bell is pretty useful for alerting walkers ahead of you of your presence without having to yell.

the bird scooters are also able to 'chirp' to help locate them - i've heard limebikes do the same but i have not been able to find that feature in their app.

overall i dont think this is an issue of a winner take all market - uber and lyft seem to live in harmony and i take whichever is cheaper. for scooters, i'd just take whichever one is closer, there is no brand loyalty or much differentiation but there's room for multiple players atm.

Removing wealthy 'special interests would probably have some interesting effects. Off the top of my head, I expect we'd have better regulations on banks and the like. And perhaps Mickey Mouse (and everything else more than 75 years old) would be public domain.
>> Because Rust doesn't have function overloading

That is the insight I needed. Thank you.

Rust seems novel in that despite having powerful abstractions and a rigorous type system it does not support overloaded functions. I gather from some of the discussions about it that this design decision greatly simplifies the compiler implementation; supporting function overloading would necessitate answering several very tough questions such as whether a function can be overloaded on argument lifetime.

So the Rust standard library has established conventions (in this case 'unwrap', 'else' and or 'combined' in various ways) to deal with the permutations that naturally emerge given the lack of function overloading. It's important understand this and inculcate these conventions, particularly when designing interfaces for use by others.
Absolutely not, that was a breeding ground for worse corruption that the current administration.

It's even more accurate than I thought when I saw it. I assumed the the visualization of the virus was stupid movie crap, then I worked in bioinformatics and realized it was https://pymol.org/2 . One of my friends worked for the state health department, and she said that the level that R0 was explained was spot on as well.
Probably because the sequence might contain nil as an element, and you don't want to short-circuit the iteration when that's the case.

For the same reason, it's the usual thing in Lisps to break on a sentinel value (defaulting to EOF or similar) when reading sexprs from a file. In cases where nil isn't a valid element, you can always specify nil as the sentinel.
"has supported a lot of fringe parties that have used the funding that comes with having full-time representatives on government payrolls to build strength to the detriment of the political environment."

-- Like the "pirate party", which is really doing a good job on pushback against all kinds of corporate enrochement against copyright laws. (like the stupid Spain link tax).

Sometimes these 'fringe' parties bring ideas and raise concerns on issues that the major parties are not considering due to their self interests.

Sometimes they are down-righty looney, but I think the positives on having small parties represented outweighs the negatives.
The percentage of people that had access to a Commodore 64 was relatively small, so a person had a high chance of not having access. That means it was lucky to have had access.

The percentage of people that are killed in a car accident is relatively small, so a person who is not killed in a car accident doesn't need to be particularly lucky to avoid being killed in a car accident.

Yes, luck is a factor in everything, but the role that luck plays in everything is not the same.

I can fold up a scooter and carry it on the subway or tuck it under my desk. While both of those are kinda possible with e-bikes, if more than a handful of people tried it we’d be out of space rather quickly.
No, I lose, it probably means I'm slightly older than you ;)
Wikipedia can sometimes be good for this. But I agree, if they report about something they should report on what happens later.
I agree. Bike sharing companies are ten-a-penny.

I think they're imagining that there will be geographic network effects - "my city is full of CompanyX scooters, so I'll use their app". I don't know though, seems a bit dubious.

Also I seriously doubt they are anywhere near to making even a vague profit. They're charging maybe 3x as much per ride compared to bikes, but the scooters must be easily 10x more expensive and they have to pay people to charge them.
Just because one shitty company was able to weasel their way out of responsibility does not mean that we should allow all companies to do so.
Ask HN: What does my startup need to do to comply with GDPR?
I've been doing linux for awhile and that explanation is confusing to me, so I see where they're coming from.

I usually oversimplify: "root" is a keyword typically used to be all incompacing. The system root contains all files in the system. The user root is a super-admin that has all user rights in the system. The group root is a super-admin group the root user is assigned to and has all group rights.

I agree that would be great. The crude answer is: make it easier for a computer to figure out what will happen when you run the code.

The example I usually use is allowing integers to overflow, instead of automatically promoting to arbitrary precision (Python), or converting to a sentinel value (R). Integers are used in a _lot_ of places, so inserting these checks (or worse, access to heap-allocated memory) makes it difficult to optimise. (throwing an error might be a reasonable alternative in some cases).

Another is that you make it easier for the compiler to figure out things about an object, such as its size (e.g. you can declare the types of the fields of a Julia struct) and whether or not it can be mutated (immutable objects are easier to optimise).

Jump bikes is my current favorite, the scooters seem a little wobbly and the little wheels don't like road cracks. And I like that they lock up and don't end up in bushes.

Biking straight up SF hills in jeans without sweating is like having superpowers.

One downside (for SF at least) is the robust market for stolen bike parts.

Competitively they are highly advantaged by having the scooters absorb all the hate. The scooter companies ought to make sock puppet companies that dump electric hover boards all over SF.

Would anyone recommend using Julia for things like web servers? Python is used for web servers, and is slow. But Julia doesn’t really seem marketed to that application domain, despite that I would expect it to do a better job with the demands on a server due to its performance.

I know web frameworks exist for Julia, but I’m wondering how practical it is to actually use this language for that purpose?
Once we come up with a better name than "EcmaScript."

I can neither say that nor remember it, and while JavaScript is owned by Oracle, at least it is memorable (And everyone will know what you're talking about when you say it out loud).

Just put native TypeScript support in the browsers, and let's just use the term TypeScript and also have a language with actual types in it(!).
It makes me think less "failure in image classification", and more "implicit bias in the WordNet database and/or failure to represent concepts that can't be described succintly in English".
The Scoot service in SF uses GenZe scooters and they're fantastic to ride. Granted, I don't own one because I just use Scoot. They're about $4.5k on the website.
Maybe someone forgot the golden rule: fire people on Monday mornings. Never on Fridays.
Eventually this sad crowd will get their own generational letter designation.
A BIC pen can be 5 orders of magnitude less expensive than a nice Caran D'Ache.

Anyway, I just though someone might be interested in discussing the merits of electric scooters rather than arguing about how different the two types of scooter are.
If anything, you make a great point that "playing politics" is a skill in its own rite, is worth mastering, and it is (dependent on the system) productive in bringing about people's wishes.
There're plenty of other explanations. Not all failures are linked to deploys. The root cause could turn out to be a hardware failure somewhere. It could be a botched rollback of a change earlier in the week that had lesser consequences. It could be a change that was scheduled to take place on the 1st of the month, where the person who chose the live-date didn't think about the day of the week. Or it could be, as you describe it, someone without any sense.

Why do you think cryptocurrencies do "so little"?
> In technology, though, we seem to embrace the monoculture for things. Languages, implementations, everything.

I would say there's a pretty straightfoward explanation for that: monocultures are, in general, far easier. Usually (unlike the instant case, where it wasn't an option in the first place), it's even the path of least resistance.

The alternative, diversity, true dirversity, diversity of thought is very difficult. Since it, presumably inevitably, results in conflicting viewpoints, which leads to.. conflict. There doesn't seem to be a good way of handling conflict in collaboritve environments.

Consider the (rhetorical?) question, "Can't we all just get along?"
