Absolutely, this is the best advice in this thread. In the event that I lose track of what's behind me, I will even sometimes go as far as intentionally varying my speed a bit to get something to go around me so I can re-establish a complete mental picture with 100% certainty.
As a driver of both types of cars, this is completely false, in my experience. Having a clutch pedal doesn't make drivers more aware or capable. On the contrary, it's a small cognitive load that can be freed, then put somewhere else.

A bad driver isn't thwarted by a stick shift. They'll do the bare minimum to keep the car on the road. These drivers are notoriously bad at selecting gears, so they usually solve that issue buying diesel-powered cars with a more forgiving power curve.
The main problem is the lack of accountability (they can't really tell where the money is going or what results they are getting per dollar). Source: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-spends-recor...

But it's also extremely likely that there is duplication of effort that could achieve better results if things were more coordinated.

Throwing more money into such an opaque and uncoordinated system is a bad idea. I'd much rather build a better system and defund this one.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. If you're referring to the president, I don't really think Trump is the Manchurian candidate or a slave to Saudi Arabia or anything like that and I think most people who seriously believe that crap, outside of small talk, are not that bright. Feinstein has had several very questionable ties to China . In another era, she would have been investigated and tried for treason. Other than that, I am not aware of any legitimate conspiracies of politicians on either side of the aisle with strong ties to China, but if you can link me to anything legitimate I'm interested. I think the media and wealthy business interests are almost solely to blame.
But is it worth more than porn?
> (BTW I say "seize" because what you're proposing would never happen alone on any significant scale without eminent domain).

How so? Landlords would jump to sell their rent-controlled buildings to developers who are champing at the bit. City programs are the only thing preventing development from happening.

Is that a universal truth?

Backstory:

We did our last delivery back in late Spring of 2017, though we had experienced a decent amount of traction. The economics of on-demand gas delivery are difficult. B2B (e.g., delivery to car dealerships) seems to be profitable, but it is tough to achieve a price point high enough to warrant B2C sales (though perhaps in some ZIP codes it is possible (e.g., 90210)).

It was a fun ride, especially getting to use Clojure. I was the founding engineer (converted from an independent contract), so had plenty of room to make tech decisions.

Besides Clojure, there's a mobile app at that link as well, using Sencha Touch Framework. At the time we closed up shop, I had been experimenting with React Native + CLJS.

You'll also find an repo called opt that contains some interesting routing optimization algorithms that I did not write (warning, it's one long Java file).

On a related note, I'm currently looking for Clojure job opportunities.
Sure best interests can cover a lot. However, using a well-known tax strategy that has its own name, is completely legal, has no risk, and can save billions for a multinational company worth over half a trillion is a sound business decision.

Not doing so would definitely be against the interests of the company.
I'm actually from that area and recently been back to take the glass bottom boat tour. The monkey's are pretty illusive and usually stay away from humans and live in the Silver Springs state park, which is next to the Ocala national forest (second largest nationally protected forest in the US). I remember the guide telling us only a few people have died from contact. In those cases were reseacher/scientist that had been studying the monkeys and had been urinated on (in the face in one case). The monkey's do bring tourist dollars to a pretty poor economic area.
My driving instructor in Sweden gave me a rhyme to remember. It consisted of only three words: blicken, pilen, filen. It literally translates to: the view, the signal, the lane – in that order. Basically you always look through the mirrors first and take a glance to the side your changing lanes into to cover the blind spot, then if it's safe you turn on the signal, and then you switch lanes. It's not entirely accurate, since you need to keep an eye on things all the time, but it's helped me develop a routine that's pretty much impossible to break these days. It's almost like I scan still hear him, 10+ years later. He was a great instructor.

I thought $400 was surprisingly reasonable.
Storage is just direct access to the energy arbitrage market. The problem isn't "How storage makes money," but rather, "how can I make money on storage." Storage requires large capital investments for what are typically small relative returns.

However, there are some markets that are ripe for roll-out and Texas actually has a surprise advantage in the energy storage market. Many of those natural gas or oil wells are suitable reservoirs for compression storage of energy once they run dry which significantly lowers the capital costs of setting up that type of energy storage. Hell, some of those wells are even deep enough that they could be used to generate geothermal power in the future.
They would need buy-in from all of the maintainers/contributors for that to happen. And there are a lot of them.

Good point. It would be relatively cheap to do a larger study on this and perhaps we can prove some easy facts about Parkinson's, namely that it is correlated with a smell. It would be a cheap easy win towards answering the hard question, "What causes Parkinson's disease?".

I was recently reading "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman", the last chapter contains a story about a researcher who was studying rats in mazes. The researcher wanted to put the rats into a long corridor of identical doors, and teach them to go exactly 3 doors down from where they were put in and get some food. The rats always went to the exact door where they last got food from though, no matter where they where put in. The researcher didn't know how they could tell the doors apart; was it smell, sight, sound, etc? He was determined to eliminate all these possibilities so that the rats would only have their entry point to go off of, and then they would learn to go 3 doors and get food. The final change he made before succeeding was to put the rat maze on sand, and then the rats finally stopped going to the door which last had food. Apparently the rats were able to use the subtle sounds the floor made to determine their exact location in the long corridor.

Then Richard Feynman mentioned that this researcher was largely ignored and unrecognized. He hadn't discovered anything about rats, so much as he had discovered something about experiments on rats. Other researchers continued to do rat maze experiments without putting their mazes on sand, and would publish papers without considering the possibility that the rats were navigating by the sound of the floor.

Coming back to my original point, I wonder if it was proven that Parkinson's is correlated with a smell, would such an odd experiment even be considered by anyone in the research community?
was surprised to see java as the #3 technology behind iOS and android, but this explains it.
Maybe I'm not a serious person, but I don't think "consciousness means the popularly-understood ability to reason and plan" is part of the common understanding of this term, and a lot of what you wrote seems like a "no true Scottsman" to me. And actually, really defining well what is meant by "consciousness" seems to be a big part of the challenge.

> We're trying to really solve the hard problem here

This seems to me to be the crux of the misunderstanding. To me, panpsychism essentially presents a perspective that it may not be a well-defined problem in the first place. Like a dog chasing its own tail. Or if you prefer, it's like the question: "why is there something rather than nothing?" who knows if there is an answer to this? I don't want to go into this too much, but to me panpsychism is basically an intuition for why the "problem of consciousness" may belong to this set of fundamental questions that we may not be able to find an answer for, and if that could conceivably be the case, then it is valuable for providing that intuition because that may be the best we can do.

Biking, I'm perpetually baffled by the people who drive up behind me, overtake me, and seem to forget I'm there before they even finish passing me.

The worst case is when they expect to turn right soon; I consistently have drivers half-overtake me and then start moving towards me, or turn right across a bike lane without looking.
Ah yes, linear light scaling. Implemented in Kodi and MPV since times immemorial... in Imagemagick too. Like 10 years.

I like how some new cars automatically switch on side cameras the moment you turn on the indicators. Safety Features like these should be mandatory in all vehicles just like seat belts.

On a side note I follow the practice described in the article and found it quite useful.
I believe it's both. The produced images do not encode pixel-perfect details necessary for reconstruction. These details are reconstructed from the imperceptible differences in the outputs which act as markers _and_ the model's memorization of the content at those locations.
The left is a spectrum, there are left leaning people, and people who would like to see communism implemented in the United States. For left leaning people, center, and right leaning people equality of opportunity is desirable and will maximize scientific progress, abundance, and quality of life.

What far left people want is equity, which is vastly different and is equality of outcome. They view the world in a very black and white lens in which any endeavor/business/group which doesn't perfectly match population distributions must be inherently racist/sexist/etc because there aren't any differences or preferences between any groups.

Not sure if it was rhetorical, but to answer your actual question: Mathematicians often say they "discovered" or "found" a proof. I've never heard one say they "invented" a proof, although they might talk about "building" a formalism or framework.

Fun fact: European driver-side mirrors actually have a larger FOV than their US counterparts. It took me a while to get used to that when I moved to the US. I ended up buying some small blind spot mirrors that can be stuck onto the car's mirrors. I've been pretty happy with that solution (in combination with looking over my shoulder).
Its related, but not equivalent.

real-time == "bounded latency" (to a soft or hard degree).

low-latency implies no threshold, just low relative to something else.
I remember the glory days of flash games. Miniclip.com had some fun ones, and there were a bunch of sites.
But isn't it also a problem? We not only want to do things contained within a program, we also went them to cooperate. Don't we also want accessibility? I think that middle ground is needed, but currently pendulum is inclined in other direction.
I see. I was thinking of Goldman's earlier writings that more about the NEP, but I see that "There Is No Communism in Russia" has the distinction between nationalization and a true "public" ownership. (And it is true that most anarchist writing I've really just skimmed or read many years ago)
I failed my (US) driver's test because, while I looked over my shoulder to check my blind spot, the proctor judged that the window was too fogged up for me to be able to see.

Granted, I should have known better how to work the defrost function in the car.
>4-5 story walkup, how is that ideal?

As you go beyond 5 stories the construction methods required to support the building change. (this obviously is an engineering consideration, you can get a little higher with good engineering). Thus this is ideal because you cannot get denser without increasing the costs to residents. For the poor a small apartment in a 5 story building is as cheap as you can get (this is just equal share fixed costs and ignores supply/demand, taxes, and all the other considerations that go into rent prices). We can build taller of course but the per unit rents must be higher to support the increased construction costs.

In Florida alone that has happened with pythons in the everglades and lionfish in Florida oceans (at least south Florida).

Take a look at some of the late-model cars with gigantic A, B, and/or C pillars -- in many of these, head-checks are not as effective as in older cars. The Cadillac ELR, Nissan Leaf, Infiniti QX80, Lexus GS F, etc. All have gigantic C pillars and/or headrests that block rearward visibility, which results in blind spots the size of Texas if you rely on head-checks. Now take a look at some older cars, maybe a 2012 Ford Escape. Awesome visibility. The dual pushes for improved structural rigidity and strength (small overlap crash tests, anyone?) and swoopier designs are causing many new cars to move in the wrong direction on visibility.
I have always wondered, it is either something is doggy about Clicky, or others are really expensive. Clickly could do a million page view for $20/month, while others, even the simple ones that aren't as feature rich such as Fathom, offer anywhere from $29 / $50, to Matomo which is over $250 per month.

The tech people are not going to live in the shitty apartments you should be building. People are not fooled, they see whats happening in SF. You need to stop playing games and build more apartments. This is not difficult.

Of course it is, he's critizing the OP for gatekeeping an adventure to only hiking or cycling rather than experiencing the journey on whatever means you find exciting such a car or motorcycle.
It has nothing to do with waiting for tables and everything to do with the food being both more expensive and less tasty than the kind of food you get from holes in the wall.

Honestly, I'd even take an everyday American Chinese restaurant over one of those yuppie restaurants that sell overpriced Chinese-ish food aimed at white yuppies (the Americanization bothers me less than the catering to the yuppie community... regular old working-class American Chinese food is actually pretty tasty, even if it's not my favorite, which is more than I can say for Yuppie Chinese).
Ah, are you comparing economic models with climate models?

Do you have any evidence that climate models are not good or that they are worthless?
I agree that Netflix isn't a startup, but I'd say that looking at their founding date is misleading -- Netflix-the-streaming-video-service is an almost completely different company from Netflix-the-DVDs-in-the-mail company.

For the same reason as why biologist spend a lot of time studying E. Coli, fruit flies and mice (besides being interested in them in themselves). It's because those organisms are similar enough to humans, but still a lot simpler to study. In this way we get important clues and ideas of how stuff might work for human cells, which is still very hard to work out and prove, but is a lot easier than just starting in the dark with human cells.

Fine information on both sides, as they say.
To put this in perspective, changing your diet from omnivore to vegetarian appears to have about the same effect on greenhouse gas production as a roundtrip flight across the United States (5000 mi / 8000 km total distance).

Here are approximate figures for CO2-equivalent emissions different diets:

Omnivore: 6500 lbs/year (3000 kg/year)
Vegetarian: 5300 lbs/year (2400 kg/year)
Vegan: 4500 lbs/year (2000 kg/year)

http://www.kohalacenter.org/HISGN/pdf/carbofoodprint.pdf

And here's data for a round trip flight from JFK-SFO (New York to San Francisco):

JFK-SFO: 700 lbs (300 kg) (each way)

https://www.icao.int/environmental-protection/CarbonOffset/P...

The savings of going from omnivore to vegetarian is thus slightly less than avoiding the cross-continent flight, and the savings from going from omnivore to vegan is slightly greater. This doesn't mean that you should or shouldn't change your diet to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but if you are flying more than one long haul flight per year, I think it does mean that there might be more benefit to reducing your travel than changing your diet.
