> because cyclists are weird and it's okay to tell them to just ride in amongst trucks travelling 40mph when a bike lane abruptly ends

No, they are not weird! They do it because that's the only way to ride a bike in most of todays cities. Weird are general the car drivers who get upset every time they see a bike, and can't wait to overtake them with far less than a minimal safety distance.
Or more accurately white, chinese, and indian males.
Research as shown that when police are armed with tasers, they will use them in situations where previously no violence would have been used at all. Additionally, tasers will be used not just to subdue an individual who is a threat, but also simply to punish those who fail to comply. Further, the police will ignore the safety limitations which would prohibit repeated use of a taser.

You cannot escape the law of unintended consequences.

Well, why can't a car do the same thing?

Replace all the stop signs with yield signs.
Auto-generation is a great way to put it. Cloud functions are an incredible primitive, but in our view, they constitute primarily a compilation target.

Some small adjustments will be necessary when _importing_ large legacy codebases, but that's where using functions to also build your project comes in!
They are parked so haphazardly as well. Years long fight for the physically changed to have any mobility is being undone by these scooters blocking the sidewalks. I can walk around them but what will a person in a wheelchair do? The feature that makes them the most convenient and why people use this over bikesharing is the fact that they can be dropped of anywhere and that's exactly what the major problem with it as well.
ISP are really the bottleneck for IPv6 adoption. Pretty much all the infrastructures of the internet (network, datacentres, clouds) support it now.
The big thing that you see in LLVM IR that you don't see in C is vector register support. There is also support for multiple return values, as well as some better coverage of hardware instructions via intrinsics (e.g., fma). It is somewhat poor in support for things like exposing hardware exceptions and the condition code support, and its support for vectors, floating point, and bit sizes is definitely in the realm of supporting union of architectural possibilities instead of the intersection.

I definitely would not call LLVM IR accurate to hardware, but it is more accurate than C is.
In rural or non-traffic-laden areas, yes.

If you can see a mile in any direction when in a car, and there is nothing coming, why stop?

(also, anecdotally - this is in my DNA, my great grand-father was driving in San Francisco when they were installing stop-lights. He refused to have a machine tell him what to do and would run all lights.)
They want an educacted workforce, and the brain drain of people out of rural areas only accelerates that. Towns with good colleges are doing better than those without. The elitism comes mainly from economic rather than social considerations Ive been seeing. See: Texas.
> These sorts of discoveries really push towards a re-evaluation of Lamarck's thought, frankly.

They fundamentally don’t. Lamarckism was an explanatory model for evolution, and even if these results turn out to be true, they are not evolution. They are transient changes, whereas genetic changes are permanent. You need permanence for adaptation. Lamarckism fundamentally cannot explain the acquisition of new traits, only the (relatively short-term) modulation of existing ones. A good explanation of the difference, and why Lamarckism definitely failed as an explanatory model for evolution, can be found in Dawkins’ The Blind Watchmaker.

Jablonka’s hypothesis is widely regarded as falsified (e.g. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/05...).
for 3) I mean O-instance is the commmand itself replicated or just the node id ?
Roundabouts and yield signs. For T-intersections no yield along the top for cross intersections that can't be roundabouts for whatever reason make the yield the direction that has a bike lane if possible.

The problem with coming to a complete stop on a bike is that for people getting to work it means a much more likely chance that you end up there sweaty; and most work places don't have a shower.
> If you don't like it, don't buy it.

No one on HN needs a crash course in market economics, choice, and free will. Un-substantive comments are strongly discouraged.

> Do you honestly believe that the majority of iPad owners care about sideloading apps or what browser engine is running while they look at Facebook?

No - but app devs like Facebook, who end up serving the end user, definitely care. At some point, it won't be worth the hassle of submitting to anal-cavity searches by Apple, just to list on the app store. I personally think the time has already arrived, as ZERO new apps [1] get installed. Netflix & co have already started to disallow subscription purchases via the store, the time to bypass it completely is nigh - except for the chronic stymieing of the browser engine on iDevices by Apple to protect it's app store hegemony.

If I'm at home and my computer has an IPv6 address, and I want to visit a site that has only IPv4 address, where does the NAT happen? Or does it happen? Or is it sort of like ASCII in UTF-8; all IPv4 addresses are directly representable in the IPv6 format? But even if that, how does the IPv4 service send a response back to me?
No one likes to hear "too bad, deal with it" as the response to their perceived problem, but I'm afraid we as a society are losing the essential skill of "dealing with" accidents, injustices, or just plain bad luck in favor or making someone else shoulder the blame.
> I mean, yeah? I know there have been cases where drone strikes were justified, but it really only takes one instance of "We think there's some terrorists at this wedding, so let's fire a fragmentation missile into the middle of it, and then another one a few minutes later to make sure we kill the paramedics and firemen too" to decide that the US military is not responsible enough to be allowed to make these decisions.

You think their policy is designed to kill civilian medics? Or do you think the policy was designed to kill other terrorists who come by to try to save their brothers?
Probably the difference between having Apple replace it and doing it yourself with a $20 battery you bought off of the Internet. Well, that and a few hundred bucks.

I can see why they wouldn't want the techs doing that in the store, one of the failure modes if you screw it up is a lithium fire. Also, if the battery had started to swell up it may have bent the case. Apple doesn't leave much room for expansion with their batteries anymore.
smart bombs is the obvious answer, but your question is has a false pretense.

Carpet bombing and a drone strike are not in the same "solution space", its like trying to tighten your shoelaces with your hands or with a 10 ton excevator.
I’m a cyclist too but I just don’t see how cities could be built in such a way that avoids stop signs unless everything is a roundabout. It’s annoying to stop on a bike; doesn’t mean I am justified in being lazy about it.
> Because the very action they are using to eliminate enemy combatants may in fact be creating more of them?

That's an interesting statement. Do you have evidence for it?
Accelerating the efficiency of an optimization algorithm doesn't get you AGI, this should be clear by now. As for fielding such systems, one quick way to destroy humanity to a degree is to turn everything into a glorified optimization problem which will no doubt be turned against people to maximize profit.

The English construct is ambiguous but the meaning isn't so the usage is fine. In fact, adding "prevention of" or similar would imply that you had the other sort of sexual harassment training.

And there would be no shortage of wags on the Internet to point that out.
>To anyone bitching about stop signs, they should be bitching about the lack of roundabouts.

Uh. Roundabouts cost orders of magnitude more than stop signs and eat up several times as much space as a standard intersection.

https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/intersection/innovative/roundabo...

>The average construction cost of roundabouts is estimated at approximately $250,000[2]. Roundabouts discussed in this report ranged in cost from $194,000 to just under $500,000, depending on their size (or "footprint" and right-of-way acquisitions that were needed.)

Let's see... 200k$ roundabout or sub 2k$ (probably sub 1k$) for 4 stop signs installed.
You should google technology then. It obviously includes every tool and yes, even fire. Do you think rocket ships are technology?

If you're saying computer technology has failed to solve election validity, that's a fair observation. It probably could if it was done correctly but the government has their best CS people working on spying on us while our elections are outsourced to idiots.
I wonder if it's due to the trend that the sales and new user acquisition are stagnating so they are just locking the "loyal" user-base so tight that they should keep paying regular amounts in the form of costly repairs and extremely costly upgrades as some kind of ecosystem rent. Because I all I see is dwindling value, more so if compared to increasing prices.
Ask HN: How are recruiters “finding my linkedin” when I dont even have one?
Curious if anyone else is experiencing this. I frequently receive emails from recruiters asking if I'm interested in positions. When I ask how they found me, they usually respond with linkedin, which is odd because I deleted my account years ago.

I asked one recruiter to send me the URL of "my profile" and when I had a co-worker view it, it returned a "profile not found" page.

Does linkedin have some feature you can pay for to see deleted accounts?
You are assuming the pretense is accurate about right to be forgotten. Never listen to claimed intentions but actions. Nigh every dictator claims to be "for the people". Actual right to be forgotten sees frequent use from conmen who don't want pesky things like their past crimes giving away the game. I would rather not have memory holes for one.

I actually run a cron job (https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-cron) on Now by setting the minimal scale to 1 instance. It's for a hobby project but it's been reliable enough for my personal needs.

Well, that's the other side of the problem of picking decent algorithms is picking a reasonable structure for your program.
When they say "server-less" do they mean building apps with local data and nothing goes to the company, or do they mean the server aspect is all taken care of by them? I'm not the most advanced person and would really like to know more.

Knocking out similar characters is a good idea but could be done to base32 to make it a little handier. I don't feel adding case sensitivity is worth a 15% reduction in string length.
yes, but you cannot deny paying these taxes because you live at the wims of the tyranny of the majority.

You could ofcourse proclaim not wanting to take part in said nation anymore and not pay the taxes, but then you would also loose out of well, the rest of society basically.

Yes, the PATH is vast and convenient, and a prime commercial real estate, it feels like a dwarven city from a RPG game :). IMHO such labyrinth could never be retro fitted if it wasn't planned beforehand though.
Corporate sexual harassment training is usually quite reasonable (unlike college training which can veer into the absurd).

I'm not sure how much it actually helps prevent sexual harassment though - most sexual harassers are just jerks (i.e. not people who don't know better and would stop if only they had been through sexual harassment training).
You can increase power or at least torque while limiting top speed, especially since I think it's an electric throttle. Maybe they can tune the throttle mapping
They might have. Does seem like they'd be priming themselves for backlash if that were confirmed.

SigOpt (YC W15) has an academic program that allows full access to their optimization platform for academic use [1]. Hundreds of academics around the world have used it and there are already dozens of papers that have been published that have benefited from it [2].

These techniques can be orders of magnitude more efficient than a standard hyperparameter search and really cut down the barrier to entry for these types of results.

Not quite the same thing. The character 子 has many different readings, meaning it is pronounced differently depending on context. E.g. 子 on its own is KO, but in the word 中性子 (chuuseishi) it is pronounced SHI. Those different pronunciations can be combined to a somewhat sensible phrase when spoken. But that phrase when written would come out as 猫の子子猫、獅子の子子獅子. So it's more of a pun than a grammar quirk. I feel like it's more related to the English "word" ghoti (fish), as it's specifically a quirk of the writing system.

But I had never seen this before and it's fascinating! I don't mean to sound pedantic, I just think it's interesting how different languages have different sorts of technical oddities.

The geographic pictograph commentary of "9 ways to divide Taiwan" is rather interesting. The one that caught my eye was #6 where the island is divided between "PM2.5" and "Typhoon". The difference in air between where the island is either buffeted by either pollution from China or Typhoon winds.

What relevance does that have to what is happening now? Are you seriously proposing that it's OK to not worry about what Silicon Valley and China are doing, because someday in the past and maybe someday in the future, right-wing people will try to squash freedom? That makes no sense.
I'm curious what the difference is in feel between a 737 and the GA trainers they all started on. I've flown without AoA (in the clouds no less) or even a stall horn but without seeing anything you still know what the plane is trying to do aerodynamically.

At low speed most planes will get a little "rough" (kinda like high frequency, low amplitude turbulence) and the control surfaces will respond sluggishly whereas at high speed the controls feel sharp, trim controls have vastly more effect and slight changes in direction have a stronger feeling of G-force. I haven't flown anything with hydraulic or fly-by-wire controls so I'm not sure how much logic is being applied to augment input depending on speed which might have an effect. That and heavier airplanes respond more slowly and generally dampen aerodynamic oscillation more.

Aversive Learning Enhances Discrimination of Indiscriminable Odor Cues (2008)
What is the difference between today and 20,000 years ago? What's the difference between today and 20,000 years from now? There are of course social and political changes but the key thing that invariably is behind all progress and improvement in society is technology. For instance throughout our entire history as a species we not only had slavery but it often played a key role in day to day life. Then, as we hit the industrial revolution it suddenly began to be rapidly phased out of existence, world wide. By the time it was ended slavery had long since gone from a necessity to a luxury and was well on its way from a luxury to a burden. Technology obsoleted it and society followed. In areas where technology has not completely obsoleted slavery, it still exists to this day.

Amusingly even Socrates predicted as much thousands of years ago, "For if every instrument could accomplish its own work, obeying or anticipating the will of others, like the statues of Daedalus, or the tripods of Hephaestus.. If, in like manner, the shuttle would weave and the plectrum touch the lyre without a hand to guide them, chief workmen would not want servants, nor masters slaves." Technology is, practically by definition, exactly what solves humanity's problems.

Though to be fair, this headline is somewhat clickbaity. The article is not really suggesting that technology doesn't solve humanity's problems. But rather than Google, and to some degree the entirety of Silicon Valley, has entered its twilight phase. And as Google has surprisingly rapidly metamorphosized into the next e.g. Microsoft, it's not an unreasonable suggestion.
There's no reason to think that future margins for mobility services will be any higher. With few barriers to entry, margins will be driven down close to 0%.
You are correct, I should not have used absolute, either-or terms there ("you are generally NOT ..."). I meant to say that you would not have _as much_ diversity of experience.
"Serverless" is a marketing buzzword. It does not mean there's no server; it means that you don't have to manually provision a dedicated machine or machines to run your code. Instead, you provide some code (a "lambda") to your cloud provider that they will run when an HTTP(S) request comes in.

There is still a cloud provider which is manifestly a server; that's why this buzzword is stupid.
