A good functioning bus lane will feel very wasteful only if it's working as intended and the buses are free-flowing. The entire point is that the buses flow quickly past traffic; you could open up the lane to HOV or cars, but then traffic times would just degrade.

> In May 2014, Streetsblog L.A. began to receive tips that Silver Line BRT service along the 110 Freeway was experiencing some problems. So many drivers were taking the toll lanes to the point where the mix of buses, carpools and paying drivers resulted in congestion.

> In some cases, traffic in the express lanes was moving slower than the rest of the 10 Freeway. This congestion impacts all the busway users including buses, carpools, and toll-paying drivers.
this is why we need super strong borders with import/export inspection, with fumigation and quarantine. Kind of like California's fruit inspection point, but more serious.

NYC's implementation is terrible because no other place with proof of payment stops the entire vehicle to check fares.

The issue with free is that free transit tends to create a negative spiral where some walkers and bikers will switch to transit because it's free, so services have to be improved to deal with the crowding, which makes transit more appealing to bikers and walkers, which increases overcrowding, and so on. None of the cities and towns that have free transit in the world are very big.
There’s not much you can do besides a paper restraining order. By the time the cops come it’s too late.

The cops don't have a specific obligation to "come" to help you. Nor to enforce a restraining order.

Everyone should read those two Wiki entries. The law often isn't what people think it is.

OTOH if someone breaks into your house and you smoke 'em, then in most states you're in the clear, even without a restraining order.

Sort of a technicality, but that money doesn't come from the 10% tithe. It comes from what is called "fast offerings" that is a separate offering associated with a monthly fast.
Zzzz... oh sorry just waiting for something in the microcontroller space somewhat innovative
To be utterly pedantic, on Intel Linux only "legacy" 32-bit int 0x80 mechanism uses iret to return.

32-bit "fast" syscalls use sysenter/sysexit.
64-bit "fast" syscalls use syscall/sysret.

Haven't really looked but I suspect sysexit and sysret are somewhat special cased versions of iret.

There's a certain "theory of the firm" that says corporations exist because they reduce the overhead cost of operating certain enterprises.

Things like this -- along with the also oft-seen need to hire consultants to tell some people in your company to do what other people in your company already know needs to be done -- make me wonder if the limits of that theory are well understood.

>>condoning ad hominem attacks

I'm not condoning ad-hominem attacks. In fact I am pointing out that often it is systemd itself that it the victim of ad-hominem attacks, which is to say that often people attack systemd, not its behaviors.
I honestly don't know, it's just an idea that's been kicking around in my head. If posting is cheap but spamming is expensive, then you might get better standards. If the forum becomes valuable then you might be able to reward the people who make it great? Except StackOverflow tried that with rep, and locked in all sorts of broken feedback loops.

If the forumtokens fluctuate wildly in value it would probably kill the forum too, particularly if the only way to get them was through the market. I can't think of any way to algorithmically deal out tokens to posters that doesn't reward at least one of: multiple accounts, spamming, or writing outrage bait.

Microsoft's software prowess may well turn out to be the deciding factor if it ever comes to a showdown between hololens and magicleap. I don't see a great big difference in hardware quality or tech. Software's going to be the differentiator, just like in the smartphone wars where iphone won everything in spite of the early hardware being lacklustre compared to competitors.
I used to ride the bus all the time in Utah valley. Then they tore up all the roads to build lanes for this project, and all the bus schedules went to pot. That's when I stopped riding the bus as often.

I'm not sure whether tearing up all the roads for 3+ years to have a bus that connects two places already connected by a new train is that awesome. Just make that stretch of Frontrunner free.
People live so much of their life in virtual worlds of media & thought that they confuse them with reality. So people will decide that they dislike Mormons (because everyone knows theism is dumb and antiscientific) or Muslims (because they're all terrorists), despite never having truly met any, having zero knowledge of their history, etc. The negative reactions you speak of aren't about Mormons or the church, they're about figments of sequestered imaginations, unconstrained by reality.

It's a shame. Real life is so much richer. In my real life I've often come across Mormon missionaries (in the past knocking at my door - not sure if they still do this?), and despite radical differences in view, have mostly had warm & engaging interactions.
Thanks Jim, I appreciate the positive feedback.

The author has gone into a lot of details on the issue so your question about whether 'this is a general issue' is answered quite clearly in the article and the follow up itself, including a link to Poettering's rationale and write up for dynamic users.

Yeah, I'd say this is pretty accurate. I moved to Utah from Silicon Valley and I've been blown away by the incredible outdoor activities here.

I live in Lehi. I'm 5min from work, 5min from epic mountain biking, 5min from incredible hiking, 10min from rock climbing in a canyon, 15min from fly fishing in the mountains, 30min from some of the best skiing in the world, 3.5 hours from zion's, moab, bryce, canyonlands.

There's plenty to complain about, but the outdoors here are hard to beat.

Sorry if this distracts from the topic, but one of the biggest reasons I, and a few people I know, don't like AMP is that - this will sound trivial - but they're a real annoyance when you want to cut and paste a link into an email or a text message when you're on a phone. I'm not going to screw around with finding a share button or what have you on a mobile site, nobody knows what JS is behind those.

So, lack of UX with the links.

I am not sure why Software should not be used. My solution would be

1. Open Source software, which can be verified by everyone.

2. Voting via an app with authentication as good as or through your bank account.

3. After Voting, We should be able to query and verify who our vote is with - on a particular day of counting, and get whole history of our votes. An individual persons vote is append only.

seems like a nice thing to have to show investors

1. funding

- 1 funded, website is tool

- plan for 10 to alpha

1a. Only 100k?

- funding spreads this way

- about enough for a year in pure software

- could be more but start and grow

2. motivation

- More research is good!

- Unsure about equity free :(

- In a position to secure funding for a cool project

3. relationship to academia

- I'm sure many of these will materialize with academic connections

3a. publishing req?

- I'm not sure most people will write a paper and submit to a journal. I've seen a lot of beautiful JS that has been put together as a research artifact. I like this?

- I'm pretty sure collab with academia is open

Hope this helps

As kemitche says, you have incorrectly said that I attacked the blog post author.

There are so many systemd haters out there that I immediately wonder about the motives when I read a new attack on systemd. Pointing this out is not attacking the author.
Everything that would have been "a weird problem with Foo Daemon's init script" we now call "a weird problem with systemd".

So you think that systemd-timesyncd's service file shouldn't choose the uid at service-start time.

That's not really the issue though. The issue is that for service isolation reasons (related to choosing the uid at service-start time), the service file wants to run systemd-timesyncd in a private mount namespace, but it is failing to properly set up that namespace. That's a more general issue, as there are a number of things that could trigger running the service in a private mount namespace; not just DynamicUser.
It drives me bonkers and makes me irrationally angry.
I think AR definitely has a future but it clearly isn't here yet.

Magic Leap has been under a lot of pressure to prove that they are not vapor ware. Which, is why I assume that they chose to launch this now. Unfortunately, their vision and their product are obviously still miles apart and the content is a little underwhelming right now.

Probably the best way to look at this would be as SDK for early adopters. The first version of the product that doesn't require a ton of NDAs to be signed to even be allowed in the same room with it. However, the price point is such that this is clearly not intended to be a mass market product.

For a mass market product the price could actually be fine but then the experience needs to match the price. People spend way more on fancy TVs, high end laptops, gaming hardware, etc. For that to happen there needs to be a supply of compelling content.

The UX for AR is going to have to be substantially different from whatever your current OS does. Overlaying a lot of 2D windows in your peripheral vision doesn't really make a lot of sense. Sure, it's a neat trick but probably not that practical. Similarly a lot of mobile UX is inherently 2D currently and actually optimized for tiny screens manipulated by clumsy fingers. Slapping some AR on that is not going to be very compelling.

With VR this was more straightforward since there were a lot of 3D games that with a little work can be awesome in VR. So far gaming is the killer use case for VR. People spend money on the latest VR kit so they can play all the awesome games that are out there and immerse themselves.

On the AR front the most popular thing so far has been pokemon go and a range of me too style clones of that. That was only possible because of a critical mass of cheap, camera equipped mobile phones. With AR we need new content specifically made for AR. Most VR content does not port over well to AR since the whole point of that content is full immersion and the whole point of AR is not replacing reality but enhancing it.

Clearly magic leaps strategy for this is to have their own OS, app store, devices, and platform. This sounds like a risky strategy since clearly all their marketing is about the qualities of the device and how cool the technology powering that is. It's significant how they are not talking about the rest of the ecosystem.

From what I've heard via a friend of a friend on the hololens team, MS is putting a lot of resources into building out that with a lot of cool R&D in the pipeline. MS of course has a long history of cool R&D projects that ultimately never turned into products but this looks like they are pretty serious about it.
I wrote a Java natural language processing library in 2003, which is hosted on sourceforge.

I'd say it depends on the security model. I have a yubikey nano permanently in my mac, I use it for example for vpn. Of course, I don't use it to unlock my mac, and I have a pretty long passphrase for that (and an apple watch to make it easier).

For 2fa in my own gmail/facebook, I use external keys, similarly as you're saying. But I could be comfortable using this yubikey, it's just that one is personal, the other is work in this case.

You probably have common stock with no “information rights.”

Buut... if you want to be a bastard, and if it’s a CA company, as a shareholder you have the right to “inspect the books and records” of the company. If you call up the CFO and suggest you want to do this, he might give you some reports to keep you satisfied.
Once again I agree with the first part of what you said and disagree with the rest. Yes, changes in some of the clauses do require board approval, and no, I absolutely do impute intentionality to abusive contracts. It’s not like the company lawyers (and therefore founders) don’t know the details of the contracts: founders themselves sign some corrected variant of it. Therefore they do not get to use malice/incompetence platitudes in their own defense. I do now consider the presence of certain clauses in an option contract a _major_, deal breaking red flag.
(As an Atheist) It bothers me to no end the amount of negativity that gets heaped on Mormons. From their immense early persecution[0] to being regularly ridiculed today, as a people they remain some of the kindest, most open-hearted, hard working people I know.
