Pretty sure it depends on the state- when I lived in Washington state it took weeks to get a car that had been abandoned for over a year to get towed from our appartmemt lot.

That being said, I prefer it being hard to tow, privately administered ticketing systems are much better. While in this case the pickups are knowingly taking spaces that aren’t theirs, most people I know (including myself) have only ever been towed when they’ve accidentally broken broken a rule, often in a disputable manner. There is no trial or attempt to resolve, property is seized with no chance to appeal a priori, and people’s means of transportation and livelihood are held hostage for payment. It’s really a pretty awful system.
Curious as to where you are building? Marin ?
This method requires you to also lean into the mirror to see more towards the side of the car.

It is ridiculous, because the side mirrors should give you a far away view, and then you look to the side to make sure that closeby there is nothing either. You only have to turn your head.

Now this method in the article would make you lean into mirror to get behind you, then you go back to normal position and look in the mirror, then you look to the side.
Someone thinks they have found a hack to mirrors and driving, but they are just making it more dangerous especially by spreading this new interesting way.

The message still stands that a lot of drivers could have avoided hitting someone if they had used their mirrors and looked to the side. Accidents however often happen because of distraction causing a driver not to do what they normally would do.

China has been holding 3 Canadian's, likely in retaliation to the CFO of Huawei being held. So it may seem warranted here?
Absolutely! I truly don't want to come across as that downvote seeking troll. I really want to share and engage in rich conversations with interesting people online.

I really appreciate your feedback. I think you touched on a key point of contention for me that I need to work very hard on:

> if you don't spend effort in writing, why should I spend so much effort in reading?

I come at this from precisely the opposite angle: "I could pour my heart into something and have it ignored because it's too long, so I'm just going to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks."

Obviously, I know this is a poor solution. I'm actually building a website instead that I believe solves my problem and many more. That will give me the motivation required to put in the effort up front to polish things up a bit more.

The problem, for me, boils down to one thing: we have a content discovery problem. Low energy bullshit rises easily, while content that takes a while to parse rises quite quickly.

The saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is perfect here. It's also roughly 1,000 times more difficult to read, parse, understand, and provide feedback for content such as mine than to like a gif on Reddit, for example.

Again, thank you for the feedback. I've copied it into my notes (highly recommend Bear app for mac / iOS if you're in the market) and will meditate on it and hopefully improve through it.

If you're interested in the project I'm working on that I believe solves this problem, here's some stuff I wrote about it:

If you spend enough time in Clojure, it becomes quite readable. With threading macros and the like, there's no real reason you need many more parens that a language like Python.
The author, James Risen, has had a long trajectory as a reporter. The OP (which I admit I have not read all of yet) touches on Risen's reporting on the Wen Ho Lee case while at the NYT. Risen and Gerth's story, and their later follow-up story, was based on "leaks" from "senior intelligence officials" that were either false or slanted.

It was a disgrace. The case was eventually thrown out of court, and a mealy-mouthed NYT recantation was issued (linked in OP - it's a typical NYT non-retraction retraction).

There was other reporting at the time, from Robert Scheer of the LA Times, that contradicted the Risen/Gerth story. But the combination of the endorsement of the NYT, and the mesmeric hold of "national security" on peoples' minds, led to an establishment take that Lee had committed serious crimes. Scheer tells the story here: https://www.thenation.com/article/no-defense/

The whole affair serves as a warning about the dangers of taking selected "senior intelligence officials" at their word. We seem to need these warnings.
I absolutely disagree.

The browser is the solution to the presentation/distribution problem. I don't need to worry about installing the game, or worry about what OS I'm on or where it was installed to or anything else.

I go to the URL, and the game downloads if needed, then plays. Updates, local caching and storage, and more is all taken care of. If I want to play with a friend on some multi-player game, I send them the link, and they go to it and start playing themselves.

no "launchers" needed, no app stores which take a cut, no platforms which can decide that the game isn't suitable for their system, no app stores which can decide that the app is too close to something they offer and removing it, no expensive publishing costs, and you have multiple browsers to choose from if you don't like any one in particular.
I'm not sure what your point is though. Yes, Google could take an internal project, turn it in to a product, and then "proceed to screw up said product"...over the course of, what, 5, 10 years? What is the point of speculating about something so far off with no data? They could also turn it in to a product and then not "screw it up".

What am I being naive about? Do all of the wildly successful Google products not count here?
1/ Get a full night's sleep so you'll be at your most alert and aware.

2/ Have strong opinions that are loosely held but be open to having your mind changed

3/ Listen. No, really listen. Shut up, stop just waiting to respond to what someone said and listen to them as if you made the first contact with an alien species that was giving you the keys to the universe. Don't interrupt, don't rush to spout out an answer. Don't let your mind wander

4/ Make solid eye contact.

5/ Smile as much as you can. Note: Don't force a fake smile if you're not feeling it.

6/ Don't be overly negative or critical. Don't be an asshole.

7/ Give honest and genuine compliments.

Also, I have a specific playlist of music that gets me in an active mood that I listen to before any social events, speaking to a group or going out on dates. It's made a world of a difference for me.
Hmm...he didn't actually point out any actual problems with the writeup or conclusions.

He admitted that the "core premise" of React, as given by the "Basic Theoretical Concepts" page is wrong: the UI is not, contrary to the "core premise" a "pure" function of the state.

He also wrote that React users don't have to deal with all the stuff that is in the concepts. Of course, it was never claimed the React users have to deal with this, so not sure why that is an "issue". On the other hand, the fact that the "concepts" seem so far removed from the realities of React programming and also aren't actually true (see above), makes the whole idea of these things being the react "concepts" at best a bit questionable.

He waffles a bit about practicalities, but doesn't seem to understand that once you remove the "pure function" bit, what you are describing is at least conceptually the same as any old MVC framework, except for a bit muddled. In which case it would have been more useful to write "React is an MVC framework with these slight differences due to the fact that we are 'drawing' into a DOM". However, that's not how React is presented.
Oh my. That’s a bit more drastic. In the case I’m thinking of the span never failed but the engineers didn’t trust the steel anymore. They closed the overpass and replaced one span.
i think that's just called mass surveillance.

but that doesn't fit the situation here anyway. the animals are not being tracked continuously and in every way, but rather, just their existence and general health at a few checkpoints. you are being forced to be good stewards and record keepers of your own bovine, so there are some inspections and certifications of the facilities for example.

these animals are usually meant for (wider) human consumption, so you might disagree, but i don't see that as overly onerous.
There are cars that come with a convex bit in the mirror in their stock configuration, it's been common in Ford's lineup for years.
>Now that we have WebAssembly, performance is much less of a problem.

It will be, as long as we can stay away from the paradigm of Electron as the de facto runtime for Webassembly. Despite its name, Webassembly doesn't need to run in a browser, we can have executable WASM run in thinner native clients.

All of the above, plus, at most (non-FAANG) tech companies, as an individual contributor your salary will plateau when you’re around 30-35. During your 20s you’ll get used to double digit pay raises and then all of a sudden that will stop. Even changing jobs won’t give you more than a 1-2% bump as some point.

I’ve had that surreal “we really want you to stay but we can’t give you a raise” conversation too many times in my career.

Towing companies profit from adequate signage, so that's not really a problem so long as state laws permit this business model.
To me, a huge aspect of beauty is in its remoteness and lack of human impact. I would find this area hundreds of times more beautiful than Yosemite Valley, for example. How someone can be surrounded by thousands of other people yelling, throwing their trash around, and taking selfies, and think, "wow, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" is honestly beyond my comprehension.

And conversely, polyrepo doesn't bring correctness just because it is poly.
Ashley, it may be too late now, but would it be a far fetched idea to make a Construct 4 with the engine in C++ or Rust or any language that can be compiled to WebAssembly, and make the web runtime with WebAssembly ? That would be the optimum way, of course harder then the current one. WebAssembly is shaping up pretty nice, i'm impressed. Or, another nice option would be to have native/web hybrid progressive web apps with WebAssembly running as exes in the machine, with lightweight exe sizes. Well , one can dream :)
I think it wasn't just limited to turing! Several of the pioneers of mathematical computing showed astonishing foresight about how farreaching this new theory was. For example, here's Sydney Brenner talking about how much von Neumann understood about self-replication by 1950:

The high chance of finding a new, interesting job if the need ever arises.

When you're part of the group who got lucky, living in the Bay Area is really not so bad.
Physically turning your head in __not__ a risky operation if a driver has given proper following distance to the vehicle in front. Turning to look over your shoulder is only dangerous if you are driving dangerously by following too closely or at an excessive speed difference between your vehicle and surrounding traffic.

My personal rule of thumb is at least 1 car length for every 10mph I'm traveling at, so at 70mph >= 7 car lengths between me and the vehicle in front of me.
> using that towards a down payment on a condo

As I stated, you will have trouble charging at a condo. In the bay area, most new development is condos, and I don't think buying one means you're bad with money.

What do you mean by low adoption? Every device launching with 8 has to support it.

There are multiple definitions of "renewable energy" out there. Palo Alto doesn't count "large hydro" as part of their renewables goal.
James Risen has a checkered reporting background, to be sure. [1] There are all kinds of attacks on the press these days, and we are told to be afraid of attacks on the press.

>Scandinavians have snow and ice, so it's more likely they'll skid.

A lot of the US has snow and ice too.

Many areas of the south have considerable issues with poor traction. Heavy rainfall after a long dry spell typically disturbs the accumulated contamination on the road surface, creating a sudden and drastic reduction in friction. Dust deposited by desert winds can be almost as slippery as ice. The infrequency of these conditions mean they pose a particular hazard, because drivers lack experience in dealing with them.
In the UK (where I learnt to drive) you can take the test on either transmission, but if you take it in an automatic then that's all you can drive, whereas if you pass the test in a manual you're qualified for both.

Additionally, manual cars are far more ubiquitous in the UK than they are in Canada (where I live now) and the US (at least, as far as I know). Because of this pretty much everyone learns on a manual car.
My father taught me this forever ago when I was learning to drive.

If this is done correctly, as a vehicle is coming up on, say, the left of you, as it is leaving your rear view mirror, it's entering the side view mirror. It should actually be in BOTH mirrors simultaneously. There's no blind spot.
Maybe people would prefer the unstated third option of lower property tax.
That's the BFG Edition, though, which, in my opinion, isn't nearly as good as the original. I liked the dynamic of needing to use the flashlight and some of the other tweaks made to the BFG edition ruin the feel of the game a little. That being said, it did also make some improvements but to each their own.
It's about as much of a hassle than developing desktop app and less of a hassle than developing web apps. Meaning: really not that much of a hassle unless you're deliberately shooting yourself in a foot by doing equivalent of "position: absolute;" everywhere.

Which, for some reason, some iOS developers really loved doing which cause endless headaches when adding support to yet another form factor of those devices and endless "fragmentation" complaints.

I did a driving test in Toronto and one in San Francisco. In Toronto, failing to shoulder check once wouldn't normally be an auto-fail in the same way that blowing a stop sign would, because most maneuvers are evaluated three times. If you fail to do it all three times, then that's a strike.

In San Francisco, we only did a few turns and that was it. Not even any form of parking or three point turns.
What about looking at the price of traveler's insurance?
Thanks, I have filed a complaint with them now. I've also notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I basically filed a complaint naming the D* core devs as potentially involved in child sex trafficking. That's very disturbing to me.
If HackerNews had the funding to start its own city do you think it could/would be managed any better?

Quality matters a lot in raising awareness of facts. You can't just say comicbooks are better at raising for showing everyone the dangers of radiation when basement levels of radon is depicted as causing people to melt into goo because lung cancer is also dangerous.
Local government is very powerful, especially in NYC. One of the features of democracy is that voters have influence over what their government does.

When you think back to the days when US governments had the ability to do everything, consider the downside. You get "great men" like Robert Moses who bulldoze everything and destroy communities, or build highways to make it difficult for "undesirable" minorities to travel.

Plenty is getting done in NYC.
China is issuing the same warning to Chinese citizens traveling to US
"Spamming" issue tickets? You mean leaving comments? "Spam" is an unsolicited advertisement for a product or service, I DEFINITELY did not do that, so I think you should be more precise with your language. They don't have a Terms of Service that says you are not allowed to make comments on issue tickets, so I did not violate any terms of service. IMHO "spamming" is the excuse that all censors use, when they censor you.
It would be helpful to be able to filter between free and paid off the main list.
Oh, nice job finding ratios of the PHEV to the rest. I felt like I was probably overestimating, but it was hard to get a feel for how much. I agree that the real number is likely closer to your estimates.
I suppose it really depends on what your priorities are. Nobody I know has ever been towed. The towing companies really seem to get it right more often than not, and people default to not parking somewhere unless they're confident it's permitted, which is the way I think it should be.

Offtopic, but is there some malware on this website? First I was rather annoyed because there was an autoplaying video that stayed at the top of the screen covering half of it, with only a very tiny x at the top right to close it. After that chrome asked me if I want to allow the site to show notifications, but then chrome asked me to access my camera! Why on earth would a news site need access to my camera?
I guess it is just a matter of taste. Clojure is the reason I have been writing software and it helped me to achieve things that would be very difficult without. It just has the right set of tools for a guy like me with systems engineering background. I find it much more understandable to use map + reduce than for loops, async instead of fork + threading code. The out of the box performance of JVM is also one reason I keep using Clojure.
If you're up for an additional dose of stupidity, consider the fact that London shuts down the Underground completely (with a few exceptions) every single night for maintenance and repairs. Every inch is inspected each 48 hours.

Why the MTA can't do this kills me and partially explains why people screamed bloody murder about a complete shutdown. The signaling system alone is held together by the equivalent of tape and chewing gum.

It's bloody murder, as you say, to turn NYC, whose delis/bodegas, restaurants and bars stay open until 12, 2, 4 am, all night, into London, where most bars end at 11pm, and restaurants much earlier. Part of that is cultural and part of that is that service staff can't necessarily afford Uber (which was banned too, wasn't it), or taxis, which cost a fortune. Yes, the night bus, that IS something London has that NY doesn't (the buses in NYC are atrocious).

NYC would be a different city if they shut down subways at midnight. The existing maintenance is already a nightmare (and an alphabet soup of outage notices).
Yes they are common and it’s also common for tow truck companies to pay property owners to patrol their lots. Again is up to the owners to do this sort of things.

I’ve had an issue with parking in apartments before. I wasn’t able to call and get a car towed. The office staff were the only ones. After hours and late night it was an issue.
> An automatic mentally allows the driver to feel and operate more like a passenger than a pilot. Manual trans prevents this.

I don't understand, they are still steering the craft, as well as adjusting it's speed. You haven't removed any of the important requirements for driving - being able to steer the vehicle and modify it's velocity. The ability to use a clutch and change gears simply compounds the difficulty of that exercise, it doesn't cause the driver to necessarily engage with the car in a way affects the drivers skill, it may have a higher skill floor, but it doesn't really make for a higher performance ceiling.
The real question is: can your browser run Crysis?

Hey buddy, I'm seeing a ton of CP on the D* network. Maybe that's cool with you, but to me, it means that the D* network is a place for disseminating CP and potentially a place where child sex trafficking is occuring. Thats not sensationalism. If you think people should be banned for comments about moderation, I would suggest you don't understand the difference between fair moderation and censorship. Or maybe you just think CP is cool huh? Are you one of the D* core devs, is that why you are defending this network where child sex abuse pictures are being posted every day?

IMHO people who scream CENSORSHIP when you start talking about removing CP and going after child predators, are usually child predators.
