Exactly.

People who don't bike don't understand.

Imagine having to effectively park you car every single time a stop was legally required.

All moving vehicles should be operated safely, but obeying a stop sign, just because its a stop sign isnt always safe, or efficient.

@drRogers below me...

To anyone bitching about stop signs, they should be bitching about the lack of roundabouts.

There are myriad ways to design infra for non-stoppage cyclists.

How about we have entire zones where cars arent even allowed? If this were the case, then you'd have to design around mobility that didnt involve cars.
This reminds me of one time at an old job in Philadelphia. We had a visitor from California, and we were walking with them to lunch, and they were stunned that we ignored the traffic lights. I told them to look at the cars not the lights, because the lights have no real bearing on whether or not a car is coming. Which in turn reminded me of this George Carlin bit:

As an example of how hopeless California is, when I first got there, a policeman gave me a ticket for jaywalking. You have to understand the kind of people who live in California. They are willing to stand, passive and inert, on a curb, when absolutely no traffic is coming, or maybe just a little traffic that could easily be dodged. They simply stand there obediently and wait for an electric light to give them permisiion to proceed. I couldn't believe this cop. I laughed at him. The ticket cost me twenty dollars in 1966. Since that time, I figure I have jaywalked an additional thousand times or so without being caught. Fuck that lame-ass cop! I've managed to pro-rate that ticket down to about two cents a jaywalk.
Gonna be a long wait.

I wrote my bachelors thesis in Germany at a non-TU (Technical University).

A large part of my thesis was implementing a language server for the DOT/Graphviz language [0]. It really depends on the professor.

However, the only thing that matters for the mark is the thesis itself. Many students spend too much time implementing their project and have not enough time for the thesis itself.

I actually like the new keyboard... :(
My fingers feel a lot less fatigued over time vs using a traditional mechanical keyboard. And even compared to the 2015 MBP, the newer keyboards feel more comfortable to relax my fingers on. While I never bothered doing a speed comparison between the two, I feel like I type slightly faster, albeit with slightly more mistakes. For example, reaching for the y key will occasionally cause my pinky to accidentally press the semi-colon key.
Why not just rent/ride an ebike? Once you put a seat on a normal 2-wheeled scooter it's not much smaller than a bike.

I'm not sure I'd trust the balancing capabilities of the unicycles you've linked to, especially in the face of shitty roads. Have you tried one?
I was faced with the same problem recently, and the imagined glory of being able to switch my entire stack from AWS to GCP (or Azure) with a config flag made me realize two things:

1. Being able to do this would mean lots of work to abstract and polyfill the discrepancies between providers.

2. If AWS or Azure goes down globally, everyone else would be too busy freaking out about their own problems than be worried about the downtime of your SaaS.
> Would you consider drones and smart bombs bad when the alternative is carpet bombing?

Weren't drones used to carefully select targets inside cities and other areas with civilians. I'm not sure carpet bombing is an alternative for those cases:

> this or epigenetic inheritance

This is an instance of epigenetic inheritance.

As for your question, we don’t know yet (also because these results are still terribly preliminary). It’s conceivable that stress permanently modifies something in the epididymis (where sperm is matured), and thus affects all sperm coming thereafter. It’s also possible, though probably less likely, that only currently present sperm is affected. From personal experience, working with sperm samples is a pain — the transcriptional signal you get is incredibly noisy, and every ground-breaking interpretation should be taken with a grain of salt.

> if you care about your own

Given how few of the riders are wearing helmets, they seem to at the very least be unaware of the risks they are taking.

> ... and others safety.

Power is intoxicating. Being in a more powerful vehicle on a surface shared with other less powerful vehicles makes some people ignore others' safety, or discount the way in which their actions imperil others.

Anyone who has ridden a bike/motorcycle in regular traffic can attest to that experience around cars: you assume you are invisible to them. I've seen many high-powered cars/trucks/motorcycles swerving and accelerating dangerously around less powerful vehicles in traffic.

Similarly, I've seen motorcycles driving fast down bike lanes to get around car traffic.

It's a similar situation between the scooters and pedestrians on busy sidewalks.
The issue with this is that, on my motorcycle, I nearly take out (especially on left turns) bicyclists blowing through reds that don't see me. I can't stop midturn without high risk of going down and taking out the cyclist (and pedestrians) with my sliding motorcycle, it's a risky situation all around.

The laws like "just stop at red" don't care about your perceptive ability, they care about everyone's perceptive ability. It takes a HUGE amount of swarm intelligence and error-correcting to make traffic work, single bad actors are auto-corrected for usually, but get two in one instance, or have a faulty error-corrector present (a tired driver, a bicyclist failing to see a motorcyclist in dark gear, etc) and there's your accident.

So while I understand the argument that you, or jaywalkers, make, I don't agree. Partly because of tragedy of the commons, but also because I simply don't trust the perceptivity of you + all other cyclists. It's too prone to error. Just go with the safe option.
Are there any public plans for early access or an ETA to GA for features like scheduled jobs? That's very important to me, and since daemons aren't on v2, there's currently no way to do them internally to Now (I suppose you could have an external cron system GET/POST a URL every N minutes).

Congrats on the launch, it looks like a much more cohesive product now!
>I don't want to be defending Rust but your post has so many misconceptions. May I ask where you got all that information and what your background is?

I am primarily a systems programmer and write software for the petroleum industry in my country. I work with C++ and in some (rare) cases C, and I've been doing that for the past 4 years. I have my own WIP hobby unix-like microkernel project written in C as well.

>Rust has #[no_mangle] and extern "C" and those two guarantee that ABI stability you're looking for.

I admittedly did not know this before it was pointed out to me.

>That's actually a breeze in Rust, including cross-compilation (which is relatively painful in C/C++).

It really isn't. Have you looked at rustc's compiler targets? It's not a very long list. Support is improving, but there's still a lot of key areas that are completely missing. To my knowledge it supports x86, ARM, MIPS and POWER. That's not a long list.

>There's work towards that: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc

That's good, and is genuinely what's necessary to put Rust in key components.
His suggestion wasn't about consistent failure. He said that employees should be fired if they don't take it, which is absurdly heavy handed.
I owned a couple /24s around then as well, but I'd completely forgotten about them until now. I never even used them because it was a hassle to get them routed. I assume they've been reallocated by now, but I'm not sure. I don't have access to the [email] domain I registered them from (nor am I even sure what it was at the time).
We already single out certain social things as just not a good idea in the workplace/events even though its common socially: public displays of affection, having lots of kids around, single-sex activities... Its isolating/disruptive if you can't/won't take part. Its unfair when based on things not in the job description (relationships/kids/gender respectively).

I don't see why alcohol (excludes non-drinkers) or team-building activities outside of business hours (excludes those with family commitments) couldn't be one of those things.
>Jeep is making a killing with the brand image despite 95% of people only taking their Wranglers over curbs in a mall parking lot

Jeep is making a killing because mom wants a convertible with a second row for little Jimmy and dad knows she'll spend a lot of time going sideways if she doesn't have AWD then they once they're on the lot they realize that it's grossly overpriced for what it is and not a very practical SUV. At that point any half-competent salesman can get them to sign a lease on a Compass or GC.
I basically think software intelligence will not resemble human intelligence until it is embodied in the same body and social upbringing as humans—like, I don’t think you can actually fake it.

I think you can make a software intelligence that is very intelligent in its own kind of strange alien way. But as far as involving it in human concerns, it will not really understand the human world, even if we try to make it seem like it does.

A robot lawyer might be very intelligent, but it will fail Turing tests. Trying to make it pass Turing tests without giving it a human body and upbringing will amount to patching a fundamentally false system and hoping for temporary illusions.

This opinion is informed by arguments made by Hubert Dreyfus stemming ultimately from a Heideggerian perspective.

I think the next phrase is more interesting:

> we are probably, at this moment, over-indexing on technology as a source of all problems, too

A lot of the real changes in the world (immigration, cultural fragmentation, overreaching governmental power) have been masked by the continuous media infatuation with "social media". While they help people deal with these changes, these media are not the source of good and bad things, people are. From the euphimistically-called arab spring to Trump, social media have been fingerpointed, while ignoring the actual background forces which cause these changes.
Even in context, I think saying 'technology' as a shorthand for 'the particular technology Google is selling' is sloppy and lazy.

But then I've long thought that about the whole 'technology sector' shorthand. As if construction, agriculture, manufacturing, medicine, etc. were not technologies.
> We’re already running into the limits of physical law in trying to move semiconductor fabrication to smaller and smaller processes, and there are very real and interesting challenges to be overcome before, I think, we can resume anything close to the exponential growth we’ve enjoyed over the last 40 years.

That is irrelevant. You just scale horizontally, more and more data-centers. Sure, it will not be free like in the past.
Currently flagged as dupe — could someone link us to the previous discussion?
Nice one @newy, congratulations!
You're not bonkers. Hardware is already at capability especially in scaled form. It largely comes down to a cohesive and broad ranging software package. This interestingly goes against the profit motivations of various groups which is why you don't hear it framed as much. Of course, when the current hype cycle is tapped, you'll start hearing the rhetoric change.
If you're merely incompetent to use the tools available to you appropriately (instead of maliciously misusing them), I can see why people don't want to give you sharper ones anyways.
That was for the previous Butterfly design, the new one (on the Air and now most Pros) purports to solve the problems.
The chairman is typically elected by the board, but there's a lot of variety. Some smaller ones just make a schedule early to basically rotate through members for two years periods. I think there's a lot of variety in this part depending on the company, board, shareholders, etc.

Recent life-threatening runaway trim incident, on a modern jet:

https://50skyshades.com/news/business-aviation/bea-pilots-sk...
All of the commenters saying e-scooters shouldn't be allowed on sidewalks are right. Sidewalks in most densely populated US cities are too narrow and busy to safely allow a human gliding along at 15 mph within ~2 ft of a doorway where another human may be exiting, or past blind corners.

The bigger issue is that e-scooter parking is fundamentally broken right now. Despite being told not to, users still park them in the middle of a pedestrian walkway. Even if the user parks them correctly, they get knocked over or blow over into the walkway. This product is broken until these companies do what Jump did, and INTEGRATE A LOCK INTO THE PRODUCT, and make users lock it to something at the end of their ride. This almost entirely eliminates the problem of blocking a walkway, and also reduces the loss of product to theft, accidental damage, etc.

Since they're required by law in California, I'd also like helmets to be integrated into the locking mechanism, but that's a nice-to-have.

E-scooter companies: Build locks into your products. It fixes many of your problems.
Should cars follow the same logic?
It's on the front page.
Since the partner is Canonical, I would speculate it's LXC based. Also since they are looking to put a whole OS experience in a container it probably wouldn't be a good fit for Docker which really wants to push single process containers with no init systems.
I don't think anybody's saying you can't make a California stop as a bicyclist, when I say "blow through a red" or "blow through a stopsign," I'm talking about the bicyclists I see (every day) that disrupt the actual order of expected operation of the stop sign. I.e., moving out of turn, because they were unwilling to slow down.

And I get dinged at because I let cars (who have missed MULTIPLE of "their turns") go. I don't get it.
If I'm reading this correctly, that sensor fed into computer which was automatically controlling trim settings. If that's the case, an erroneous reading could change how the plane flies dramatically.

That is only because technology is build upon science, which captures the belief in a rational God of Christianity that it sprung out of and doesn't capture the ethical aspects. It is a somewhat problematic aspect that anything non-ethical has increased leverage arguably at a much quicker rate than our ability to manipulate the material aspects of our world.
I can give a first hand account. Working in a mid sized engineering consulting company there, and been working all around consumer electronics industry since 2007. Six points for you:

1. "American style startups" only make single digit percentage of the whole tech industry in China. And out of those, the "cult like" make even less.

2. "the American style startup" model is seen here with a lot of scepticism. Some call it a model for failure, and justly so.

3. There are not so few very well run companies in China, including, surprise, factories! I don't know a single factory owner who is not aware how dangerous overworked workforce can be for the bottom line. A single misplaced component can fry a few thousand dollars TV set. A single labour action, can end his business.

4. Becoming "more Western" is not a success model for a Chinese company. It became clear to me as as a rule of thumb, when a Chinese company invites "cool American MBA boys," things begin to go wrong very fast.

5. So are Chinese businesses that competitive after all? Yes and no: Yes, as for that the capability to outcompete American companies "fair and square" is there. And no, for that the company that could've buried countless strong American competitors will never take their place, never become a household name, never list on a stock market, never own a skyscraper office, and may not even have a website — it will forever remain a no name OEM in a grey factory building in a dusty industrial town.

6. "What's the trick?" The answer is: "the trick is that there are no tricks." Whatever place under the sun Chinese companies wrestled from Western competitors was achieved with nothing but sweat, blood, grit, and perseverance.

The best thing China has introduced me to was an entirely different, bullshit free work culture centred on value: contract, payment, and CAD files in the morning — widgets ready in the evening, without any manager in the loop.

If a Western business wants to do as well as a Chinese competitor these days, their corporate boffins should try doing that as their starting point

> These men were able to give the counsel they gave because they were operating at an enormous psychological distance from the people who would be maimed and killed by the weapons systems that would result from the ideas they communicated to their sponsors. The lesson, therefore, is that the scientist and technologist must, by acts of will and of the imagination, actively strive to reduce such psychological distances, to counter the forces that tend to remove him from the consequences of his actions. He must -- it is as simple as this -- think of what he is actually doing.

The US in WW2 and Vietnam used binoculars and radio to make decisions on general areas that should be Napalm firebombed because that happened to be the most accurate technology available for sensing, communicating, and striking. We've come a long way - but why assume the current state of things is the ideal toolset to stop at? If you're upset at the status quo, why preserve it?

Also, unfortunately other technologically advanced powers exist. Regardless of the desire for pacifist isolationism, Russia and China will continue to work on military technology, and it only takes a few decades of complacency to fall far behind.

It absolutely matters. Intending to kill civilians and killing them accidentally are very, very different things.

Are you alleging that they didn't understand the risks involved? Or are you alleging that they did understand the risks involved, and made a conscious decision that those risks were worth it? If the latter, do you have reason to believe that their calculation was wrong?
