It's not really about the city, one just needs a short commute and have daily amenities within a reasonable biking distance, this is the hardest part.

For a daily bike commute, 10 minutes or less is ideal, 10-20 is doable, 20-30 is approaching the limit for me. Unlike a car, the longer you are outside on a bike, the longer you remain exposed to the elements.

With that said, a throttle controlled ebike should not really be compared to a regular bike.

Regular bikers need to think about incline, wind and their personal fitness. They are not just commuting, they're doing a workout and their probably in a world of pain.

The ebiker's mind is less clouded. They do not have to worry about any of those factors and this makes the experience more like driving a car/motorcycle.

I personally enjoy riding my ebike far more than taking an Uber.
To some extent I almost wish they had stuck to their guns. The current brokenness actually serves as a much stronger argument for why exceptions are needed. There's a visceral understanding that comes from forcing people to handle every error immediately that is actually very hard to teach.

Well if you are privileged to invest in Magic Leap One, they probably aren't hurting...no sympathy from me when their plans to buy a yacht is ruined :/

It is backed by Google so there is probably plans to improve the hardware which as it stands is not impressive OR knowing Google they could pull the plug just as easily.

In fact, Magic Leap One, is looking to be a major major flop, shortly after somebody released a review on the limited focal view and some annoying hardware designs I knew it was fucked.

If you attempted to sell those treasury bonds now on the secondary, you would have to accept the same $99 the shares of VFITX are worth. The immediate, liquid value is the same either way. (You need a common unit to comapre in instead of VFITX in now-$ to bonds in principle-$.)

If you hold the bonds and/or VFITX instead, the interest pay out of the bonds and the distributions of VFITX should also come out equal (except not, the fund has the advantage that it can change its composition from buying/selling bonds, but also has the overhead of selecting and performing those transactions).

(In reference to your below comment, yes, fund != holding bonds. The fund is closer to you buying the bonds, but also buying/selling as bonds mature or you anticipate changes in rates)
That being the case, you should change the doc, because it's an important distinction. Speaking personally, I have found in my own Rust that the presence of the propagation operator does not, in fact, come with the "likely omission of proper handling"; to the contrary, it has allowed me to (properly) propagate errors that I can't meaningfully add context to, and to (properly) handle those errors that I can handle -- all with very readable code that doesn't involve error-prone boilerplate.
Thanks for the comment. I was trying to make clear this is a short-term strategy in a rising rate environment where you eventually want the principal back and don't want to take much risk. In accounts with longer term goals like retirement accounts you'd probably mix equities and more diversified bond funds.

Is there a way you think the strategy and when it's appropriate could be made more clear?
The world doesn't need any more people. Fewer would be an improvement.

My problem with AC is how ubiguitous it is, and how people use it without thought of the environmental cost. It's ridiculous in many cases: people who sleep with their windows open and AC on (this exists), AC bus travel, where one needs a jacket, jeans and warm socks as the bus will be cold after a few hours. Air conditioning shows how far some people have become distanced from nature, and the environment in which they live. People who live in warm climates should expect to feel warm, maybe (at times) uncomfortably so. But good building design, suitable clothing, an open window, and a fan when temperatures get unbearable can go a long way. In the summer, I sleep (comfortably) with a window open, listing to the sound of my neighbours' AC units kicking in. It's depressing.

That's not to say that AC doesn't have valid uses, but that in many cases a more balanced, environmentally-friendly approach can be taken.

Exceptions are second only to proper return types for error handling such as Result<T, E> or Option<T>.

And in order to have those you have to have generics. Once you have generics result types can be used for 99% if error handling.
When you realize that the hospital was charging $19,000 for a stent that cost $1,500, you realize that painting Calver as someone who is going to cost us all money is misdirected anger.

And, to be clear, they charged $19,000 for the stent, not "stent plus theater time to place it plus surgeon, anesthesiology, OR nurses", of course not. Those are all absolutely billed separately.

I'm nearly ready to cancel my streaming subscription. There is less and less studio movies I want to see on there, and more Netflix originals. Not that I have an issue with the originals, there are good ones, but there is seriously nothing else worth watching. I still subscribe to Blu-Ray rentals for the following reasons.

A. Streaming quality is still poor, particularly audio. The bitstreams are compressed beyond normal DTS/DD compression, and it sounds like garbage in comparison to the lossless tracks on physical disks. To me the audio track is 90% of any movie.

B. It's impossible to find the vast majority of movies on streaming. If something pops up, it disappears in a month or so. Out of FIVE HUNDRED physical discs queued up, only TWELVE are available on streaming. I seriously fear the day they get rid of physical disk rental all together. Their catalog is expansive, and we have ZERO other options now.

I just bumped from 2 discs to 3 discs out at a time, because we no longer have 1 day turn around times on returning and sending out discs. It's nearly impossible to get one back the same week unless you send it out Monday or Tuesday.
No, it's run by people like George Shultz, who himself pays for an on-call boutique physician, while the plebs can get their medical testing for cheap from Theranos.

Schwab also does not charge fees for new treasury bond issues. I assume this is a loss leader for them and they make back their money in the secondary market.
"accept an insurance" doesn't mean what you think it means.

It just means they will exchange paperwork with said insurance company. Whether or not your policy/company covers treatment is a completely different issue.

I agree TreasuryDirect is not the best website. No trading on the secondary market either. But it has some nice benefits. It has zero fees lower minimums than other institutions. You can also purchase savings bonds and transfer in existing paper bonds.

Savings bonds are just as secure as US treasury bonds. It's not popular to worry about inflation these days but if you are worried, take a look at Series I savings bonds.
As mvilim noted in his response to my comment, the outcome is actually not equal, and VFITX underperformed bonds over the same period, by a larger amount than can be explained by its expense ratio.
If you want exposure to interest rate risk, you're generally better off getting it in the futures market than the physical one. Roughly speaking, instead of buying $200k of 2-year treasuries, you can open a single 2-year treasury futures contract, fully fund it with a 3-month treasury bill purchase, and get the same return.

Why do this? Treasury bond income gets taxed as ordinary income, while treasury futures get treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains. The extra compensation you receive for taking on this risk is more favorably taxed if you do so through futures.

(You also don't have to fully fund the futures position, but that's a longer and separate discussion. From a theoretical perspective, a stock/bond portfolio should take the best risk-adjusted return mix and then lever it up or down somewhere short of the Kelley Criterion maximum, depending on personal timeline. The best place to take on leverage is where you have the most information about what you're levering, so this means treasuries in general and short-term treasuries in particular. There's also bet-against-beta as an investing factor - rational market participants can have leverage restrictions, so they rationally overbid on investments that need less leverage to get the desired return. This holds generally across markets, and in treasuries it means that getting duration through 2-year treasury futures is cheaper than through 30-year treasuries).

Thats good, but something tells me I still shouldn't fully trust Google/Gmail with things like this.
Just simply occasionally injecting something randomly chosen from the catalogue would probably do wonders. I do find that these systems as they currently exist tend to sate your appetite for a particular thing until you are fatigued by it and no longer wish to engage. Maybe it's a sign of how rudimentary their recommendation systems really are, as you say. My use of Netflix and Youtube have both dropped off precipitously because of this over-feeding of my appetite for certains types of content.

However, I've also gone back to Netflix DVD. They have such a massive catalogue of movies and it seems easier to just skim through genres and find weird gems.
In the first paragraph:

> The insurance company is basically saying, you should still choose the in-network provider even if you are unconscious or don't have a choice or we'll fuck you financially.

Actually, they are saying if you choose to cut premium costs by selecting a narrow provider network, well, there's a reason why the premium costs are low.

> Why the fuck isn't there a law against this kind of shit?

Because Republicans actively oppose any attempt at health security, and Democrats keep ignoring the majority support for single-payer that polls have shown for close to 30 years in favor of Rube Goldberg solutions that keep private insurers and this type of network-based limitation as central features, despite the fact that hey have less public support and are thus more subject to being politically sabotaged before passage (Clinton) and after (Obama).

Though there's signs of potential for that to change on the Democratic side in the near future...
Those are very different things, whatever you want to call them. check/handle doesn't involve unwinding the stack, and doesn't default to crashing your program if you forget to add a handle block.
They have no idea if the insurance company will pay. I know this from personal experience where the hospital explicitly called insurance co to ask if a procedure would be covered, received confirmation that it would be, AND the hospital recorded the call. But coverage was subsequently denied.

This sounds like it seriously underestimates just how much influence a government can have.

Section 2 of the GPLv3 explicitly declares itself irrevocable provided the terms are complied with. I said something similar about this the other day, but: for all the things I dislike about the GPL family of licenses, this is a fundamental design goal of the GPL: nobody, not even the original creator, is supposed to be able to pull the rug out from under you once you've received something under the GPL.

If I had to guess, I'd guess that's why Salmon says it forked from a GPLv3 release of Lamson.

Why the push to feel happy? You want to be paid more, identify where you'd like to go (company and/or position) what you feel that ought to be worth, and what you need to go to get there. Then execute on that plan, move into that next position, repeat until you hit your skill ceiling, run out of upward mobility, or are satisfied with the compensation.

If you can get a job within the big 4 you probably have a least a base line competency; leverage that and climb the ladder. Life is too short to settle.
Well, you'll notice on this bill in the article they've taken to charging "near retail" pricing for aspirin, and generic pricing for common drugs many of us will know the price of (still relatively outrageous, but $1/pill for aspirin, $10/pill for metoprolol).

Why? Not out of the kindness of their hearts. They know that their name showing up with a bill for $500 for ASA is bad PR, so better to make those common things realistic, and pad their numbers elsewhere (like charging $19,500 for a $1,500 stent)...

The whole streaming industry is a joke. It's like fast food for the brain, and I include HBO in it. Where are the documentaries, where are the interviews, there are so many good stuff to watch out there, why the only thing available on all those services is junk, stupid nonsense fiction? I include amazon in that critic.

>For what reason do you dislike autoplay?

Because it doesn't bring anything but distraction. If I want it to play, I can click, if I want to browse, I don't need a preview. Most of their movies is shit anyway so why would I need to preview them?

Amazon is way better, both on their app and website.

You don't want to include corporate bonds in your portfolio. Generally speaking, buying equities gets you a better price for the risk you take; a slightly higher equity percentage with government-backed bonds will generally outperform at the same level of risk.

I’m pretty sure though that a large majority of people nowadays living there are neither farmers nor work in jobs directly supporting said farmers.
Some things which could be avoided: open doors in cooled buildings to entice people to go in (for example 7/11 or general retail in tropical or hot places). Refrigerated aisles in supermarkets which don’t have doors to keep cool air mingling with warmer air in the aisle., etc. Offices which keep so cool, people wesr jackets in the office when not winter. Those are wasteful examples.
Not having to provide the time argument at the callsite is by far the most intuitive way to call a generic function.
I had to buy a pair of glasses specifically to fit under my rift, I bought the smallest kids glasses I could find that I could get with my prescription. They look ridiculous, but that's ok.

True, but very low priority compared to getting CO2 under control. From "Sustainable Energy – without the hot air" by David MacKay, pages 170 to 171:

"the average solar power absorbed by atmosphere, land, and oceans is 238 W/m^2; doubling the atmospheric CO2 concentration would effectively increase the net heating by 4 W/m^2. This 1.7% increase in heating is believed to be bad news for climate. Variations in solar power during the 11-year solar cycle have a range of 0.25 W/m^2. So now let’s assume that in 100 years or so, the world population is 10 billion, and everyone is living at a European standard of living, using 125 kWh per day derived from fossil sources, from nuclear power, or from mined geothermal power. The area of the earth per person would be 51 000 m^2. Dividing the power per person by the area per person, we find that the extra power contributed by human energy use would be 0.1 W/m^2. That’s one fortieth of the 4 W/m^2 that we’re currently fretting about, and a little smaller than the 0.25 W/m^2 effect of solar variations. So yes, under these assumptions, human power production would /just/ show up as a contributor to global climate change."

Untrue, because health insurers profits are limited by law, sure, but to a specified fraction of the costs they pay; if their payouts are too small, they have to refund the excess profits to the people paying premiums.
