What did not having a crayon in a particular colour teach you?

Your best options for standard crayon sets are probably pale-skinned and sunburnt (bright pink) or somewhere around chocolate brown.

Most sets have pink, white, black, brown, and yellow so most people should be able to do a close average tone to their facial colour?
Well, because "flesh" is not skin in the first place.
I wouldn't find recruiters so annoying if they at least took 15 minutes to figure out who I was and what I'm interested in.

I have only once—once!—received a cold-call (well, email) from a recruiter that was in any way relevant to me as a person and a professional. And I still didn't want it. That's a pretty shitty track record.
A man travels to live at a Buddhist monastery with the hopes of learning to become enlightened.

Upon arrival he meets the head monk and asks “How long will it take me to reach enlightenment?”

“Hmm...”, says the monk, “...perhaps 10 years.”

Feeling this was far too long to wait, the man replies: “But, what if I work twice as hard? Devote myself twice as much to the practice? How long then?”

“20 years,” replies the monk.

“What? I do not understand,” says the man. “If I’m willing to try even harder, surely that should mean I can attain enlightenment faster?”

To which the monk says, “I think for you it will probably require about 30 years.”

I heard this story during a talk from the Audio Dharma podcast. I don’t remember it exactly but this was the general gist of it. Felt relevant here.
I definitely don't hit speeds like that in a city, and in San Francisco I have plenty of hills to give me opportunities. I don't believe it's safe given urban traffic.

Not sure if that's still the case but LinkedIn used to have a service called the Inmail Response Guarantee [1]. The simplest way to ensure the recruiter does cost money is to respond to your inmail.

Were they seriously making fun of you for being short? It sounds more like a joke wherein they say/do something blatantly untrue. How absurd, to taunt an above-average-in-height man for being short.
It is the same line of excuses that many make when buying a motorcycle. The problem in the end is the same. Suddenly there is an excuse NOT to ride one day and then it multiplies until your back at square one.

Rain doesn't also make you wet it makes your ride more dangerous so without traction control and ABS on your scooter your have suddenly multiplied your risk many times and this is just for your riding and not for all those others trying to do the same or driving full size vehicles.

Against the cold only works so far before your again at risk or simply cannot bundle up enough. Then one has to ask, why not ride the bus if available? When it gets to freezing you run the risk of hypothermia and icy conditions on your drive plus reduced range and charging. A bike on icy roads worse than a car? Let me give you a hint, you cannot fall off four wheels and you cannot fall over either.

Seriously, scooters and bikes and even motorcycles have their place but be realistic in trying to dismiss all the difficulties and risks associated. The number one risk is simply falling over and people do that all to well.

“Just doing their job” is never an excuse.

The recruiters that annoy me are the ones who blatantly send me copy and pasted messages while clearly just having done a keyword search (and certainly not reading the parts about what I’m not interested in), who go quiet as soon as I ask for specific information (or make it clear that I expect a sufficiently large benefits package over what I have to make it worth my while), who don’t pay attention to my location but require me to work on site. Basically the ones who are wasting my time and are rude to me. Those people can go f themselves.

I have had a few, rare, great interactions with recruiters who seemed to genuinely care about placing good candidates in good companies in positions that the candidate is well suited to. Unfortunately for every one of those I’ve interacted with, I get 50 messages from the ”hey I have a lowish paying role doing something you specifically said you didn’t want to do” recruiters.
Think of their track record - they call 100 people, get one that is a match to their opening. Statistically we should expect only 1 in 100 recruiter calls to be useful. It makes sense.
Angry? Poor assumption. A downvote would have reflected my view that it was unnecessary. Perhaps your feathers are a bit more ruffled at my expressing my displeasure with the comment.

I am enjoying watching the ecosystem of personal transport shift and take affect on society. I find it fascinating to see the positives and negatives become highlighted as people use the services more, creating more scenarios and observations.

What are others' experiences and observations of the introduction of these transportation networks and what the future of, let's focus, city / densely populated areas? Does the future really look like: a gradient of number of wheels and carry-capacity: from light-weight electric scooters on demand to electric cars to freight-trucks on demand?

What is needed to sustain and to drive this change in transportation culture towards an efficient and safer (reduced transportation related fatalities, reduced carbon emissions, reduced time in long commutes)? My perspective is certainly influenced by my experiences living in cities the United States.

Much like many posters here, I have some preset responses that I send to recruiters. In particular, it’s a “I’m not looking right now, but I’ll save your info and let you know if my situation changes!”. This worked really well when my startup fell apart, and I was able to “scramble the jets” and get interviews set up within a week at a ton of companies. I think that the author confused “polite” with “passive aggressive” (or maybe it’s a cultural difference between my country and Germany).

I always try to leave recruiters with a positive impression, so as to not burn future bridges.

...except Herman Search. Every single recruiter has approached me flashing large salary numbers for boring, stressful sounding financial tech jobs, and being pushy/downright aggressive when I don’t show interest. I’ve asked every recruiter to put me on their do not contact list, but still, every couple of months, I get another generic male white frat bro recruiter, new to the company, reaching out again with the exact same tact. It toes the line between unprofessional and confrontational. With all due respect, which is none, fuck Herman Search.

It's a question to bring up a conversation relating to costs. What if scooters are a fad? What if autonomous vehicles eventually make the cost of transport less for due to the added cost of having to pay people to pickup and move the scooters back to their high demand pickup locations?

There's further analysis that could go into this - to then decide if or when it is a reasonable idea to cover the cost.

Another consideration/question is that I believe in many places the tax on gas helps pay for infrastructure, and I don't know if electric vehicles have this tax to cover the same road-related costs.
Yet is has trig? Come on.
I think they dealt with the interface with LN 9.0 and above. At-least to some extent.

LN was structured around the concept of "documents", which were binary objects (IIRC) passed around between the client and server and were the lowest abstraction layer. Everything in an LN app is based on creation, editing, transmittal, gathering, processing, etc of documents.

I don't know why such a thing was not evolved into a REST API sort of structure, but because of this concept of documents, and the state sharing mechanism between the client and server, we could program the system as if it was a monolith. I don't really know why the client was bloated, but that was a common feature of all IBM software (looking at you Rational Software Suite).

I guess they also could not evolve the software to make it more lean and multi-device friendly. Because it laid so much emphasis on security of identity, transferring the client to a mobile was impossible.

Domino server (LN server backend software) did allow for access from browsers (IIRC it required a plugin in the browser to handle the secure ID part of the client) but then, programming web enabled apps on the server was a huge pain. No clear support for templates, etc. It could have been evolved into a Django sort of framework but that was not done.

In my view, it was a lost opportunity. Imagine the amount of money IBM could have made if they could evolve LN into a Django Type web framework (where models could have been the documents).

In scripting languages, writing and sharing a new function isn't hard. And, if the language is open source, that encourages the rapid development of a community which implements useful and state-of-the-art tools.

If every tool needs to be available through a GUI, then, as far as I can see, that GUI will either be a burden on creators or so generalized it's no better than tab completion.
It's both a professionalism issue and a gender issue.

The reason it's a gender issue is because our culture often treats women as purely sex objects rather than having their own merits as people, so the introduction of porn into a professional context isn't just a professionalism issue; it also invokes that template in a detrimental way.

they probably like lower salaries because it increases their chance of success and this payout

From my experience it’s the opposite. Recruiters try to get you the highest salary they can because then they get a bigger cut. More than one of them has told me this.

There have been a couple times when I’ve told them my desired salary and they’ve upped it by 40% or more.

Yes, there are scummy recruiters out there, but for the most part I think recruiters are great. It’s like having an agent!

People in other fields don’t get this experience and they have to work harder to find a job. I’m not talking about technical interviews, but just getting your foot in the door.

Unemployments pretty high in the parts of Europe I was in. Whereas unemployments very low in the US. I know there's more emphasis placed on working here in America, but it seems like the employed would want to keep their jobs, no?

Especially if jobs are scarce.

I also think it's harder to fire people in Europe. But I'm not certain it's this constant unwavering fear of job loss that drives the better service, I'd put more emphasis on the variable tip than that.

But if the only reason it's better is because of the tips then how do we get good service without them? Because there's not much tipping in Europe and in the eight months over two trips spent in five countries there, service just seemed to stink.

Maybe there's quite a few cultural differences, it may be that Americans move quicker in general (a slower pace seems common in some European places where people like to just sit at cafes and relax), plus tipping, plus economic anxiety (although I think a lot of Europeans must feel that, Sicily's unemployment is something like 20%), plus attitudes toward work in general, plus the ease with which you may be let go could all add up to create the differences I've experienced.

But I much prefer eating in restuarants here.

“THE CHAINSAW KILLER” a Short Horror Film
Living in Paris center, I'm convinced it will be the last place where autonomous cars will be allowed. Roads are smalls, the city plan is old, there are experiments with new e-scooters, people don't respect priorities, etc

It could only work if ALL vehicles were automated and no human driving was allowed. But even then, walking people will exploit the overly-safe vehicles' decisions and just force the priority (which is probably a good thing to give the city back to walking people).

In my opinion, the capital cities won't be the same once autonomous cars are fully developed, there will be probably more public transport, and more car-pool sharing drive services, more escooters, etc. The most interesting long term usage of autonomous driving is on highway and smaller cities than capitals, with less traffic

If you read beyond the first paragraphs of the article, you will see that the intent is to try to eliminate interaction with a thinking entity - for example:

And what if things go wrong, as for example happens during storms? “If there’s a disruption, we’ll send your new flight, and you can accept it.” There will be humans available, but the idea is that they’ll get in touch only in case of absolute necessity.

Note, in particular, "they’ll get in touch only in case of absolute necessity", not "you will be able to get in touch..." If you have a situation that they have not anticipated, or that they simply don't want to deal with, you're shit out of luck.

It is true that cars are currently worse offenders than scooters. But I commend San Francisco for catching this problem while it's still small.

Private cars are at least used and placed by individuals. (As are private scooters, which nobody objects to.) Companies have no intrinsic right to convert public space to their place of business. Asking them to get a permit and limiting the amount of public space given for free to venture-funded companies seems fine by me.

If you're serious about fighting the problem of excess space devoted to cars, then you'll surely be strongly for establishing the principle that the city should work to make public space for the public.

I also strongly question your theory that the SF's transportation agency could or should be working on drug abuse and homelessness. I think San Francisco employs enough people that different departments can and should stick to what they're tasked with..
