Weird. This article doesn't mention what (IMHO) is one of the biggest factors impacting pedestrian and cyclist safety: the ability in almost all of the US to turn right at red lights.

I live in NYC where this is illegal in the five boroughs. Weirdly I've met more than a few people who live here who didn't know this. You will come across drivers who don't know this too occasionally who'll give you attitude if you walk when you have right of way.

I've visited the Bay Area a lot and honestly I'm terrified of being a pedestrian or cyclist there. When a car hits a red light and wants to turn right the driver will naturally just look left for oncoming traffic. In doing so they'll not be able to see pedestrian coming from the right who might need to cross the road there and they seem more oblivious to cyclists coming from the left.

Couple that with roads that are typically much wider and you feel like you're taking your life in your hands every time you cross the road. In Palo Alto there's a crosswalk across El Camino where it's 6 lanes (IIRC). Not in a million years could you convince me to use it. You just don't know how drivers are going to react. Will they see you? Will they stop for you? Who knows? It's better to cross where there isn't one so you can predict car movement.

I don't know how the US ended up with this turning right at a red light rule. I haven't personally been in another country where this is the case. But I can't think of a more anti-pedestrian and anti-cyclist rule than this.
The media will always sensualize the tiniest flase positive/negative that will always exist, not because they don't understand how this stuff works but because generating outrage is their business model, and if they can show how their "journalism" can affect change by getting advertisers to drop one of their most hated rivals that's just gravy.
Were you swimming in the pool, or are you a swimmer?

I think that what OP means is "every person who swims competitively pees in the pool during workouts", not "every person who ever goes in a pool pees in the pool".

The detailed argumentation is made elsewhere, in a longer format. For a declaration, I think half page is just right. Happy with my government for doing this (but very unhappy with the union).
Umm... that's why you pee before you get in the pool. 100 yards isn't that much to ask to avoid swimming around in your own, and other's piss. Those kids will be swimming around for hours exerting way more energy than the walk to the bathroom. FFS. This is why I don't swim in pools.
Both.

At the very center of the hole, everything cancels. But it is unstable. As you head in any direction, you will get pulled further. Which means that there are also tides pulling you apart.

At the center of the solid ring of the torus, everything also cancels. But this time the tides are squishing you together. Which is why the configuration is stable.

Sadly I actually use it as a way of testing intern applicants and even new grads as those that actually care to make any distinction between them (and I'm pretty lose with my criteria)...tend to be brighter or at least more aware of what they are doing.
Parent of two kids that have used swim diapers. I would be very surprised if those diapers were even 10% effective. Out of the pool they're basically 0% effective.

And yes, I've read the instructions, and spoken to the folks who run the pool.

Mostly I think they're just there to keep the poop in long enough to get the kid out of the pool.

Other states might be more dangerous if you take into account incidents that don't result in loss of life, but Florida has the highest rate of fatalities per 100k people.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article224923045.html

"Walking may be hazardous to your health. In Florida, the risk of fatality on foot is significantly higher than in any other state.

Nine of the 20 deadliest U.S. cities for pedestrians are in Florida, with Orlando ranked as least safe and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metropolis ranked No. 14 in the 2019 “Dangerous By Design” report from Smart Growth America and the National Complete Streets Coalition."

If you like walking or biking, don't move to Florida.
I don't know much about materials engineering, but it's not clear from the article how Artificial Intelligence (which I'm assuming means Neural Networks) is used. Is it to simulate different strains? Or to correlate a set of parameters to final product properties?

I'm aware of efforts in statistical product design, where known mixtures, manufacturing parameters, etc. are collected into a database, and design-of-experiments is used to extrapolate into new products with properties that have never been made before. But this is mostly accomplished using statistics and design of experiments.
The recommendation engine doesn't know what the content is or in what way it is similar, it just knows that people who view this video often view this other video. On the bright side the recommendation engine grouping all these videos means that once YouTube identifies one video as inappropriate they can easily use the recommendations to find and delete all the other videos that are also being viewed by the same pedos.

I wonder if that's a local thing or new thing. I've never heard of nor seen a diaper like that, and I used to go to lots of pools.
Poop can still leak out of swim diapers. After going to swim lessons with my daughter and a dozen other 6-month-olds at the local YMCA, I understand why it is so heavily chlorinated.
I made a similar project (web app + chrome extension) some time ago that has filters for day, week, month or year

Be it airborne chlorine or chlormines, it is an air-quality challenge. Facilities need to take pool ventilation seriously, especially ways to draw fresh air across the water surface where chloramines tend to linger (they are heavy). However, getting facilities to upgrade their ventilation is hard: it is a substantial cost and there are very little health and occupational safety regulations. Standard pool inspections do not check air quality; and air-quality inspections are time consuming (4h+) and expensive (>1K). At a societal level, we need to be putting patron and staff pressure on facilities that have ventilation problems and letting others now about these health issues.

Why so complicated? It seems a bad idea to have 28 different laws which generally say the same thing but with possibly small differences so it gets a minefield. No wonder EU is a difficult market. Who possibly thought that's a good idea?

From a Nursing perspective, which is a meld of sociology-psychology-medicine, it helps to ask the why to build compassion toward the individual in direct care situations.

”but their paths cross at intersections then you have a problem because drivers might not expect a sudden bike lane out of nowhere.”

If you design your intersections correctly, cyclists do not appear out of nowhere, they always intersect at right angles with the car lane (https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/junction-desig...). That hugely increases visibility of cyclists for car drivers and vice versa, and makes eye contact possible.
This view of the future is based in fear. We don't need to be "protected" by big brother. Let's see how it plays out.
In California, you literally can't "slap a 25 sign on a stretch of road where 90% of people feel like 30 is reasonable 90% of the time." That would be a violation of the vehicle code, which states that speeds are determined by the 85th percentile of operating speeds.
I believe the cynicism would be when a studio chooses demographic and marketability over art.

There is no "best" art (sorry, high art world), but there are absolutely choices you can make for marketing rather than artistic reasons.

I like Robert Zemeckis and Ron Howard films, but they're boring ideas, well-executed. And I have a sneaking suspicion that given their copious directorial output and uniformity of end product... some of those choices were made for monetary rather than creative reasons.

Nobody says "I want to make a mind-bending Dune film, get me Robert Zemeckis!"
If you've ever been to a resort with a wet bar, you might see people drinking for several hours without getting out of the pool. One can draw conclusions.
>Tennessee is one of my favorites down south and D.C metro area is quite nice if you avoid the city center.

Tennessee is not at all bike-friendly, and pay there is generally very low.

What's wrong with the city center in DC? The city center is mostly very gentrified and rather expensive, particularly on the west side. Stay away from the southeast part at night though, but most other parts are pretty good.

>I committed to move away from Sweden because my wife couldn't stand it any more, the social aspects of Sweden are not all that peachy.

Are you and your wife native Swedes? I could see non-natives complaining about not fitting into a place like that, but if you grew up there it should be different.

Did you think about moving to other European countries? If you're looking for something friendlier than Sweden but still liveable and bikeable and pedestrian-friendly and with a social safety net and low crime, there's lots of options in the rest of Europe. Why would you want to move instead to a country where there's more guns than people and you have to worry about being killed either by criminals or in a car wreck?
Although I understand that the comments section under the videos can be problematic for various reasons, what is the intrinsic issue with people being turned on by kids videos? It's probably the worst sexual preference to have in terms of societal acceptance, but as long as it doesn't cause any harm to others- i.e., it's limited to watching innocent youtube videos- it seems perfectly fine.

Swim diapers do very little to keep pee or dissolved feces in them. They are there to keep turds from floating away long enough for a parent to take care of it.

Also, how many dirty assholes are getting cleaned by the pool water? That dude that was just grunting in the stall of the locker room likely didn't wash his ass before jumping in.
Creators who create PG13 content or R content are on a precipitous edge on YouTube, and all the major platforms, as those platforms/companies are beholden to the ad buyers.

Users who want to get their favorite PG13/R content should be able to without worrying about a channel being shut down - a minority use case for the time, but one that is growing.

As for the use case differentiator, besides what was described above, the ideal end goal is that the things people enjoy about platforms will be in place and function, without the controlling middlemen changing the rules on everyone all the time.

Bitwarden. It's open source, even the server side, which allows you to set up something like lastpass without depending on someone else's servers, not that you need to; you can totally use Bitwardens' default setup. I'm an open source proponent, so it's a no brainier for me to support them as a paying customer, given the quality of the product and knowing that they're releasing most of their work under an open source license.
> The problem is a couple of overvalued, VC-backed companies

No, the problem is exactly what the source mentioned. When FOSS became a thing, cloud computing wasn't even an infant thought and the licenses that spawned during the era addressed only known factors.

> I haven't seen a single person defend the stance of Redis and others

How many of them are in this situation? Not really interested in the opinions of people that don't have skin in the game, and I'd wager these people don't have product's being exploited by cloud provider.

We have large businesses exploiting open source software (thanks to dated licenses) to make profit off the back of open source communities, while contributing little-to-nothing in return.

Fuck that. I didn't adopt Redis Postgres, or MySQL so that Amazon and Google could build off decades of good will to make money from them. They've all made significant improvements to these services, but refuse to add that value back into the community despite the fact that the opportunity only existed because other's worked for free.

So it's ok for cloud providers to profit from FOSS projects, but not ok for the original authors? Shameful, this attitude is absolutely disgraceful.

Please stop using open source if you don't also advocate for FOSS authors to reserve the right to try and profit from their work in a way that's compatible with the greater FOSS community.
This issue was brought to YouTube's attention by another content creator. They say they are working to disable comments on some videos and delete some accounts. Its tough when kids upload innocent videos and it is the comment sections that become filled with predators.

I do want to say this MattsWhatItIs guy appears to be motivated by attention and ignored the fact that Youtube was looking into this and continues to push for people to go after advertisers.

This is reverse logic.

Normal logic is:
First you have a problem, then you look for a solution. If blockchain comes out as a best solution, then it might be the best solution.

Most blockchain use cases reverse logic:
We have a blockchain, so lets find problem that we can solve with blockchain.

This is a cognitive bias.
That's because you're looking at US law enforcement as a unified system. It is not and never has been a unified system. I don't think the FBI is still running surveillance on all civil rights leaders so they can blackmail them, but that happened - I don't really doubt that the police department in Baltimore is planting drugs on people though, as was shown on their own video cameras in the last year.

I hear you and I think you're making a reasonable point, but just for fun, I'll double down on the devil's advocate defense.

I still think it's fair to include the person's activity in the broader idea of what constitutes an "algorithm" here, and I believe the article's language does support my interpretation.

First, the author explicitly acknowledges that "algorithm" is being somewhat misused compared to it's conventional programmer usage, and gives a bunch of reasons why she thinks it's still "useful" to co-opt this word. Some of the point behind this article is precisely to explain and defend her use of the world "algorithm" in this context. Language is fluid, and that's okay & sometimes fun & useful & interesting, right?

Also, there are steps listed in the article, such as defining boxes for layout, then naming them, then listing changes, then determining dependencies. That counts as step-by-step instructions, I think.

The author also said: "A CSS algorithm is well-defined declaration or set of declarations that produces a specific styling output." and "Phrased another way, a CSS algorithm is a very intentional and well thought-out utility pattern."

That's pretty explicitly including the design & thinking in the "algorithm" as I read it, don't you agree?

> an algorithm is typically an unambiguously defined, imperative solution to a problem

The English definition of an algorithm is closer to "a process or set of rules to be followed", and that's basically the extent of it. We programmers can use the word to mean more specific things if we want, but can't claim that the word always means the same thing to others as it does in our expert domain, or even that it always means the same thing in our domain.

I'd have to disagree with the qualification of "imperative", math algorithms and functional algorithms are widely accepted as algorithms by programmers. Unambiguous is always desirable, but can't be the definition. The words "process" and "rules" imply minimal ambiguity.
I noted this on the other thread about this discovery:

And this is going to ruin the current movie industry if it gets any traction. Now that technology is highly available to everyone, this is going to cause two major streams of movie making - industrial/predicted and independent/auteur.

Apart from all its faults and goals, if there's one thing the EU (the institution) is less likely to touch is national identities (Merkel "wir shaffen das" nonetheless), but usually protects it, especially in the form of national products

Oh and the "strong national identity" of the UK comes across often more as a lack of willing to modernize and adapt as just wanting to keep a national identity.

The somewhat overt nature of this brings a question to mind:

We know that our social networks have been invaded by foreign adversaries to sow chaos and division. Is there any research as to whether they've also sought to undermine us via promoting the degradation of our moral values as a society?

At a minimum, it would reduce our moral standing in the world, and potentially produce a numbing to or higher tolerance for other types of moral deficiency in which they might seek to engage. In general, it would be demoralizing to see this constant stream of depravity in your own culture.

Seems it would be potentially very effective and consistent with other lines of attack we've seen.
