“Flat White opened its doors in 2005 because it was nigh impossible to get a flat white; the strong, delicious creamy coffee of our namesake.
London lacked a strong independent café/coffee culture so we set out to be beacon & inspiration for other people who loved coffee, independent spirit and good old-fashioned hospitality.
Flash forward and over ten years on London is thriving with many varied and different coffee offerings- a vibrant and exciting scene of excellence and commitment to excellence.”

And to add some more context. A New Zealander I know wrote a London coffee map app around 2010 to teach himself iOS app development. He curated the list of coffee shops he added to the map (they had to serve a proper flat white) and at time of release he’d added over 150 coffee shops.

In 2007 and then again in 2009 the world barista champions hailed from London.

All this should give you an idea of how quickly the London artisan coffee scene exploded in the late “noughties”.

So if you’re claiming to be a coffee nerd who couldn’t find a flat white in London in 2014, I’m going to say you didn’t look very hard.

Note: Not one chain ever featured on that app. I only mentioned Starbucks above to illustrate how ubiquitous the Flat White was at that time (2010) that Starbucks felt they had to add it to their menu to stay relevant/competitive.

Technically that's one order of magnitude difference between the the 2 fatalities per billion km and the 0.2 figure.
It isn't exactly white noise that I am looking for. It is the residual waveform QC25 has after it has done its best effort at noise cancellation.

With that being said, after looking at here [0] it actually looks pretty promising although it seems to not have active noise cancellation.

Computer controlled cars should have some sign or way of easily telling that they are computer controlled. Maybe if this was true, too many people would fuck with them, unlike those cars that say "student driver". Maybe the sign should say "student driver" when it is controlled by a computer. Definitely a true statement at with the current tech

Emotions are involved, but is it the root cause of procrastination ?

My understanding is that fear related emotions are closer to the root cause. Fear of failure, fear of imperfection, fear of wasting time and energy, fear to be rejected, ...
I don't think that emotions like Anger, love or sadness are root causes.

Fear can worsen through time with new painful experiences. But fear can also be tamed.

One way is by adopting the development mindset. Failure is normal when we learn and practice. It is through practicing, and thus some failures, that we get better. No one is borned perfect at something. (See Dr. Dweck's book "Mindset").

Another way is by analyzing and identifying the root cause of fears. I could for instance fear to go in kitchens. That would be very disabling. By searching the root cause, I could find out that I got burned by touching an oven when I was a toddler. Or I could deduce that the kitchen is not dangerous in itself. Only the sharp knives and a hot oven are dangerous. One can then enter the kitchen and avoid the real dangers. Etc.

I have the QC35 and it feels like overpressure to me. Might be an individual thing.
Tunnels right now are way too expensive per lane mile. And you also need interchanges to connect surface with tunnels, which runs into the same space issues that exist above ground.

Yes, the Boring Company is suggesting we can somehow solve this expensive tunnel problem with sleds for cars and vertical elevators, but those are all proof of concepts, and in any case they would probably be less reliable than current infrastructure due to the addition of more moving parts.
Because they are money minded, but few rich peoples can.
For prototypes, low volume production. But they haven't bought a fab that can produce their A series chips, which I think shows restraint.
This is really one of the fundamental problems with the social sciences. So many studies in the social sciences take some spin on:

- 1) Observe correlation in sample.

- 2) Propose explanation for correlation

- 3) Take new sample.

- 4) See correlation still holds, therefore propose that explanation is the reason.

Of course the thing that should be clear in that process is that the explanation is irrelevant. The explanation could well be 'because 1+1=3.' There's an insufficient amount of attention directed towards falsification, prediction, and experimentation that's more than 'toy studies' or abstractly related. In many cases there are reasons for the lack of these processes (ethical concerns, time constraints, unavailability of an appropriate sample, etc) but those reasons do not change the fact that without these processes, the 'science' provided by the above sort of logic is not science - it's just plain old fashioned speculation in a fancy suit.

A patriotic Chinese should support their countries' stock when they are going to drop. Well, at least the propaganda said. Because most large firm in China are either state-owned, or having large portion of stock owned by state.

Anyway, Chinese government banned some large stock holder to sell their stock in previous nearly happened financial crisis. It's a terrorism against Chinese government if you do that.
It's consistent with Apple's claims, and is indeed impressive. But then, Apple makes its money primarily through selling stuff, not through monetizing users' data.
When you're at 30,000 feet, nobody wants to go experimenting with a system controlling critical flight operations that has gone into an unknown state.

The pilot often has the option of rebooting the system and trying it again, but that's dangerous. On an episode of "Aviation Disasters", I don't remember the exact details, but the pilot got a warning of a failed system. After a consult with the ground, they told him to reboot it. After a while, it failed again. They told him don't worry about it, reboot it again.

It (the airplane, that is) crashed.

Aircraft systems are designed to be decoupled from each other as much as possible, so failures do not propagate. In particular, they must not propagate to the backup system, or the "safe mode". The engineers do work hard at this, and sometimes they don't get it right, and another bitter lesson is learned.

The "safe mode" system must be physically and electrically decoupled from the normal system.

An example of getting it wrong is I've seen demonstrations on TV of people hacking in through the wireless key locks on a car to take control of the brakes. That's seriously bad engineering - not so much the vulnerability to hacking because happens, but the fact that the door lock system is connected to the brake system. It's cowboy engineering at its worst.
I just replayed Secret of Mana on an original SNES co-op with my spouse and it was truly awesome. Many people who have played a lot of JRPGs still haven't played it.

I liked Udemy until they launched the nerd ad campaign on YouTube. It made me wonder:

Ask HN: What is a modern-day alternative to a Majordomo mailing list?
I have a requirement to set up a private email list for around 20 users. I have a Linode server on which to self-host the software. Many, many years ago, I used to run a Majordomo mailing list, so I am looking for something similar. It needs to be completely email controlled -- e.g. you can subscribe, unsubscribe and post via email. Web interface is not required. Open source preferred.
I'd like to move closer to a train station, yes, but rent there is too expensive for my taste. Currently I have to walk 15 minutes to get to the nearest train station, or take the bus. I already work next to a train station. I only use the trains when the weather is really bad though, because I'm a little bit faster on my bike and I like the exercise.

I honestly don't understand your point. What's so bad about living next to a train station? There are all kinds of shops there and the trains take me to basically anywhere in the city in less than 40 minutes. Would you rather live next to a highway?
Your observations aren't imaginations and are shared by some leading economists[1]. The rebuttals to your feelings will often come under the form of a 'the rising tide lifted all boats' from the'trickle down'[2] ideology, and ignore the extreme increase in wealth polarization we have seen over the last decades.

It's receiver. I believe it came about from operators looking radar receivers and fiddling with the gain. Low gain, nothing is a target, high gain everything is a target.

Sounds like you'd have to investigate very thoroughly to know this? You'd have to have the numbered layout of every cinema, along with the ticket sales data. I mean it's not like you couldn't do it, but if you had a data scientist is that what you'd make him work on?

This is not just a matter of custom. But of deep philosophical and metaphysical significance that we discovered the principle of anti self incrimination.

The moral relativists would have you believe that these fundamental principles are merely fashions, like the type of coats or hats people wear.

Next thing you know... we will be defining North Korea or Saudi Arabia for sending people to slave work camps because they didn't bow down to the leader fast enough and then brush it off as mere "custom".

How much does it increase friction and would this be feasible on other vehicles as well? Once electric cars are eventually here, their wheels will be the primary noise emitters.
Going from 2 to 0.2 deaths per billion km (a 10x improvement in safety!) would be an enormous success for autonomous vehicles. Globally, that would save hundreds of thousands of lives every year. Often the lives of innocent passengers and pedestrians.

I used to think of competition as depressing too but the reality is that, competition is necessary for many of today's technological advances.

As long as humans continue to have disagreements around ideas, which stem from differences in perspective and understanding, competition will always remain inevitable.

Imagine if Larry Page had accepted the status quo in search, the idea behind PageRank which made Google possible would never have been conceived.
Tort law. It was the government, that prohibited suing polluters in the first place (in the name of a progress). Free-market cities probably wouldn't have ICE cars or fabrics nearby, because it would be prohibitively expensive to buy a permission to pollute from each land-owner in a city.
PG has written very candidly of being uncomfortable speaking publicly [1].

As an uncomfortable public speaker myself, when I've been in that situation of being introduced at the beginning of a Q&A session, my mind is mostly occupied with mildly anxious thoughts about how I'm going to get through the talk without freezing up or saying something stupid. I'm not paying close attention to what the host is saying.

It's worth considering that one of the reasons PG stepped away from being president of YC seemed to be that he got sick of having the minutiae of his words and actions scrutinised and presumed to be motivated by malice. There's a reason his preferred method of public communication is long-form essays.

As the parent to your comment pointed out, he's been at pains to credit his co-founders in the past, and shows no signs of having an ego-driven need to be known as the sole founder of YC.

Maybe give the guy a break?

This appears to be a copy left attempt to build an engine capable of both Age of Empires (especially the 3d ones), Command & Conquer, and Warcraft 3 style games.

Make it good enough now. Maybe make it perfect in the future, if you still feel it is necessary then.

Makes sense to me when stated like that.
It sounds like you were just starving yourself. I'm going to guess that you weren't eating 2-5 days worth of food whenever you chose to eat?

I'm sorry but going that long without eating just doesn't make any sense. Did you/your family only have the ability to buy/acquire one meal at a time or what?

The odd thing is that form-based web applications must surely have right away seemed fairly obvious and familiar to people at IBM mainframe shops who were used to block-oriented terminals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-oriented_terminal .

I filed a bug about an admittedly trivial issue about 6 years ago. Suddenly this summer there was a bunch of activity on it, somebody looked into it and made an effort to fix it. But that person was apparently new and didn't really know what to do, so I tried to handhold that person a bit. Then suddenly someone (that person's supervisor?) writes a comment implicitly chastising the person for spending time on a "low importance" bug. After that, the bug report went silent again.

Oh well, maybe someone else will fix it in another 6 years..
By looking at the animation, it appears the contact patch with the ground isn't changing. Just the same as a normal wheel then.

What's changing is the internal structure and suspension.
I think it can be a problem of many Debian-based distributions, which are quite often supplying very old packages. RPM-based distributions are usually providing more updated software and perform updates more often. My personal favorites are Gentoo (for fun), Arch (for VMs) and Fedora (for work). They all are have an active and striving developers' community , except Gentoo which suffers from developers shortage. But if I fill a bug in existing package in these distributions, I am sure it will not be in vain.

Singapore has privatized transit. Quality of service is exceptionally high and it's one of the cheapest rail services in the world, precisely because the economic pressure encourages the lines to favor QOS and volume.
Golf companies also don't sell you unknown bags of gear that may either contain something useful or a complete pile of crap.
As a consultant, I've billed for work, regardless of where I did it. At home. On trains and planes. On the beach. In Internet cafes in Amsterdam. Why not?

But on the other hand, I recall being shocked (this was some years ago) when a seriously enterprise-level customer service rep emailed me at midnight. Because, you know, I was billing for reading her message, in 15-minute blocks, but she was paid on a salary basis.
I may have missed something but it looks like Europe is not taken into consideration in these studies. For example in France lead in gasoline was not banned until the 90’s, and the violent crime statistics doesn’t look very correlated.
The animation is somewhat misleading. Each of the three loops has a constant length. In the animation it looks like one loop gets longer whilst another gets shorter but that is not the case.

First of all, it's closer to 5x (you have to divide the car number by the average number of passengers in a vehicle).

Second of all, I agree a 5x improvement would be impressive. But that's the level of a professional driver on a closed, dedicated track. I don't think autonomous vehicles will reach that level anytime soon.
Human drivers are atrocious. It won't be hard to be better than them.

This company started off making bike wheels circa 2013 - https://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/loopwheels-spokeless-... - I know because I featured them on my own cycling blog too.
The units are different though, 2 is per billion vehicle-km and the 0.2 is per billion people-km. The average number of people in a car is greater than 1.

Similar situation happened in Spain. Here the film industry is heavily subsidized for local movies, not only in form of tax benefits but grants. The thing is that in order to get that cash a minimum of sold tickets are required, so a bunch of producers have systematically bought those tickets in cinemas located in small cities or towns
Seems weird if there's no reward for getting it though. In the original version there isn't even a message that pops up.
