Examples of bad design thinking from the report:

* Decorative bike racks that make securing a bike more difficult.

* An expectation that people will feel comfortable riding feet away from vehicles traveling 35-40 MPH

* Shrugging off increased injuries on one redesigned street.
I completely agree. There was an article here on HN about American infrastructure problems which described the “uncuriosity” of the US and Canada when it comes to infrastructure projects - apparently studies like this looking only at North American examples are the rule, not the exception.

As an American I find that disappointing and concerning.

Thanks for the links to the Dutch cycling site, that’s really cool!

Boeing is still going to clean Airbus' clock with the 737MAX. This isn't the first time they've had something like this happen, soon enough people will forget and this plane will most likely go on to become yet another wildly successful 737 variant, safest in the world. Maybe they will downplay the MAX name, though, and market it simply as 737-7, 737-8, and 737-9 going forward.
Unfortunately, I've seen documentaries and been to zoos where the zoo keepers have told us that homosexual moneys are subjected to violence. I think the brunt of it is against male monkeys making sexual advances towards an unwilling male partner.
Yes, but if you're far enough that the housing pricing works out the density will also be too low - translating to many stops or areas feeling underserved.

Really? If you took an animal and shaved it, you don’t think it would be ostracized even though nothing is wrong with it and it has no impact on its peers? I’d bet it would.

I’m sure animals do it based on behavior as well. If a peer is acting sick (even if not), I’m sure their behavior changes.
The Rust Python bindings are actually pretty good, I hacked together a project to let you deploy Rust micro services in Lambda via Python module bindings a while back.
Cars do just fine in snowy places. I don’t see a reason why bikes shouldn’t. Just throw in the same effort that you do to keep car lanes open, and you’ll be fine. You can even put on pegged tires if the bikelanes tend to stay icy (like they do in Reykjavík), however be prepared to spend like 5x the effort when riding on pegged tires.

I recently visited Amsterdam and was blown away by the cycling infrastructure there (I live in NYC and cycle daily).

I realized, though, that unlike many American cities, Amsterdam came of age way before the automobile. The US has a fetish with cars.

Therefore, it's impossible to compare the two countries' cycling infrastructures. The link you shared is so far beyond anything we have in the US; you can't simply say "this is how it should be done".

Instead, we have to start somewhere small and make incremental changes until a tipping point ocurrs. Add more bike lanes, introduce bike share programs, etc. Since I've lived in NYC the amount of cyclists has increased steadily. I'm hopeful this trend will occur as programs like OP are continually introduced.

Overall I agree with you, I just think the historical contexts are fundamentally different. American cities will approach Amsterdam...in a few hundred years :)

Take a look at this thread. Note all of the downvoted comments (many without replies), that critique the article, weigh-in negatively against Trump, or otherwise seem supportive of the idea that there is a Russia problem.

personally, I don't care one way or the other, so I always leave them whichever was my most recently used linter/IDE's default preference & basically ignore it beyond that

I said what I needed to say with my original comment, however there is an important lesson here.

I can find you 496 citations that the Loch Ness Monster ate Freddie Starr's hamster. If this mattered as a matter of national security, would you prefer to simply ask Freddie Starr if someone is having a laugh?

There are precisely zero citations on that page to any Russian sources. There should be. With the original Russian and English translation. With those sources being official.

Why is this?

When I was at school my history teacher told me that we always had to check sources.

Am I to believe that it is beyond the wit of the journalist to link to words uttered by the Kremlin, posted onto an official Kremlin blog? So we can read the original denials verbatim and in context?

I checked the citations and I am only seeing articles by the media that have been advancing the RussiaGate agenda. Quality is not the same thing as quantity, 496 articles written by Western pundits does not magically make something true.

Not all of the people in those citations are Mother Theresa types. Luke Harding from the Guardian gets a mention in those citations but some Guardian readers know what Luke Harding's game really is. It has something to do with propaganda.

Any story can be made into something it isn't by being economical with the truth. Then we start believing and regurgitating our own falsehoods.

There were a few quips on there about what Putin and Lavrov had to say. Are these cherry picked to support a given narrative? Without links to the source words and the context, who can say?

We need to listen and understand our global neighbours, not live in a world where we only listen to the journalists that Tabibbi is lampooning.

It’s very common in sexual health because “men who have sex with other men” is much more useful when reasoning about disease spread than peoples wide gamut of self-reported sexual orientations.

I’ve always admired Google for seeing the future specifically in terms of mass adoption rather than just technological capability.

Hardcore gamers may revolt, but that’s not the audience. The barrier to mass adoption is not higher FPS or better rendering or addictive gameplay. Those are all amazing already. The barrier is buying a high-end gaming rig and a bunch of expensive titles, and then spending an hour on download and installation every time. Now the operant conditioning loop is reduced to seconds. (Note: IANAG)
This has nothing to do with what I said. When I said it was wrong, I meant in a moral sense. Freedom of speech is a human right, which is ensured in the United States by the first ammendment of the constitution. Twitter is morally culpable for its censorship.
Animals also intentionally kill their own species for no other reason than they want to to prevent competition and secure mates.

So using that same argument, murder is “natural”, too.

Plenty of people have sex with their hand, or an object. Dogs hump legs. Sexual attraction and the desire to orgasm are distinct.
The problem is that it takes decades to hit equilibrium. Chicago and Tokyo have relatively affordable housing because they’ve been allowing relatively unrestricted development for decades. Buildings that started it as high end luxury apartments got repurposed into mid-range buildings when new luxury units were built later. Housing has a very long usable life. When I lived in Chicago, I lived in a 40-year old high rise that had been built as a high end place. A studio was a good 30% cheaper than the brand new luxury building across the street.

But it still works. A study recently showed that allowing construction of two market-rate units (which costs the city nothing) has the same impact on displacement as one affordable unit that must be subsidized by the city: https://nextcity.org/daily/entry/subsidized-housing-developm... (of course this got spun as subsidized housing reduces displacement twice as effectively as market rate units, conveniently ignoring the fact that the former solution requires hundreds of thousands of dollars in subsidies while the latter is half as good for no cost to the city.)
But if you bought your $2 million house for $200k a few decades ago, you're still paying taxes on it like it's $200k (plus some tiny increases that fall well below inflation). Thanks Prop 13!
The present generation of Alzheimer's researchers has a big, big problem. The best evidence now points to infection as the cause, but they are not infectious-disease specialists. It takes a long, long time to become an infectious-disease specialist, and there are lots already. What will they do when it turns out they have none of the skills needed to advance the study and treatment of Alzheimer's?

The present generation of Alzheimer's patients has a big problem, too. Grants for research into Alzheimer's are controlled by the present generation of researchers, who have no particular desire to learn that Alzheimer's is an infectious disease. So, negligible work is going into establishing an infectious-disease etiology, never mind effective treatment. Publications supporting an infectious-disease cause of Alzheimer's are, likewise, not especially welcomed by established Alzheimer's referees.

The herpes-family observations go back twenty years, and are only now gaining traction. The gingivalis observations are more recent.

Not trying to argue the 4500 death as that seems wrong according to your link. however, i never understood the focus on "killed" as that seems to be a combination of things, i.e. EMT, medical services, car safety for example.

You're missing the point, people from middle class housing wont be able to move into luxury housing, most people don't have the means to do so. I don't see how you can believe that building luxury housing will help middle class people. Building middle class housing will help middle class people. If you don't believe that there's too few options for middle class people in Boulder and that it hasn't become too scarce I would encourage you to do some basic research using a simple tool like Zillow to look at prices. Building expensive homes raises the prices of everything around them so now most homes in a place like Boulder are out of reach.
I think the solution is the heresy that the central bank should put strings on the money they lend out. So the central bank has to apportion a certain amount of funds for high density housing in particular geographic areas. Directly loan money to states to build mass transit.

And specifically not to purchase paper, stocks, bonds, etc. All that stuff should be hard money loans.
As the author of mxhsd [1] and Gridepo [2], I can sadly confirm Jason's claims that it is STILL necessary to reverse engineer to talk to the existing federation.

Synapse doesn't follow the spec, which is a fact I'm experiencing every day. But more to that, there is no desire from its developers to ever comply with the spec, rather than changing the spec on a whim.

And that are the reasons why making a HS is not possible: endless moving target.

As someone who recently moved out of Los Angeles in search of more affordable housing and a better traffic situation, I would vote against building more housing in Los Angeles due to overcrowdedness. There's just simply too many people living there and the traffic is insane. The city should work on fixing other issues first, like public transportation and mixed zoning rather than allowing more housing to be built.
Minneapolis is consistenly ranked one of the most bikeable cities in the states. Denver winters got nothing on them.

Yes, like McDonnell-Douglas renaming the later revisions of the DC-10 as the MD-11.

The MD-11 even included "a partly computer-driven horizontal stabilizer. Updates to the software package made the airplane's handling characteristics in manual flight similar to those of the DC-10" [1]

Sounds like Boeing might have dusted off an old MD idea.

I think you're probably right, they will improve the systems, improve the training, probably pay some sort of settlement, and as long as no smoking-gun evidence of deliberate malfeasance is found (ala Volkswagen Dieselgate), they will survive. Heck, Volkswagen survived, anyway.

Either you have misunderstood something or I have.

You absolutely do not need government permission to show the White House or to show war footage. You need government permission to get to use their hardware for free.

If I want b-roll of the White House I can just walk over there and record or buy some online. I don't have to ask anybody anything and the government doesn't get to see my script. If I want tanks or planes in a movie that has a script the government doesn't like, I can always use the hardware from a different country, from a state militia, or private owner - or CGI or get the props department to build one, etc.

The government does have a subtle influence. If it's not important to your film, you may as well except minor edits and make the military look good - that way you get some expensive props for free (or for a small price). It's not as insidious as what you're describing though.
> Parts of the country are really spread out, parts are brutally cold, windy, and rainy, and yes some parts are lovely and sunny and packed to the gills.

Strongly agree on the spread out part, though that is (in part) a symptom of widely used planning doctrine in North America (parking minimums, maximum lot coverage, and very wide minimum lane widths). Cold, wind, and rain are all issues, but they can be overcome (and have been in some jurisdictions) - not for everyone, but if a few percentage do it it's better for everyone.

Most cycling activism I see focuses as much on advantages for drivers as anything. The North American population has been urbanizing at a high rate - for a few decades, that was accommodated with suburbs and car based transportation. Many cities are now at the point where key corridors are congested for hours morning and evening (and expanding these corridors, at great cost, would only buy a few years or a decade of congestion relief). Cycling (and transit) are both low capital cost methods to relieve congestion - get an extra 5% commuting by bike and another 10% going by bus, and you have a lot of growth room available for cars. But both these need density to be reasonable: if you have density to begin with (European and Asian cities), mass transit and cycling are obvious/sensible responses. If you're starting with a low density area, it takes incentives to get past some inflection point of density. (Or stop growing, but not many cities are doing that, and none willingly)

So should be also be beholden to Chinese, Saudi Arabian, Russian, North Korean, and other governments' laws for simply having a website? That's beyond absurd and by that line of reasoning, most website operators should be jailed in some country or other. This is one of the most absurd arguments I've ever read. Luckily, it has no legal basis. Hopefully it never will.

I’m not sure what about 1% being a third of 3% isn’t self-evident...

In Texas a “typical” house for about $350k would come with an annual tax bill of $10,500. And it goes up if housing gets more expensive.

Around me in SF an entry level home at $1M would have a tax bill of $10,000. But it’s locked forever.

The same bill for a property 3x more valuable... it makes an enormous difference in the monthly payment which also has a meaningful impact on the ability for prices to shoot up in the first place.
> No actions of Spark taken now or over the next 24 hours or so should be considered representative of policy.

That's not how it works. When you claim to have a policy, and don't bother to even pretend that it governs your actions, your actions will be taken to represent your policy, because what people care about is your actual policy, not a document you happen to call your "policy".
what about "collective" cultures that don't prize individualism? If you are discouraged from saying something because it will cause social disharmony within your community, is that as morally wrong as slavery?

I think not.

I think capturing someone from their home, their country, their loved ones, transporting them across an ocean, beating them, making them work for the rest of their lives without pay, while starving them, raping them, and imprisoning them, is a long, long, long way more morally wrong than not letting idiots spout whatever crappy opinion happens to wander across what passes for their mind, regardless of what damage it causes.
I'm going to start with this. A CPU can offer you way more in a practical sense, because of the ease with which you can handle so many things, and that fact that there is so much more development and expertise that you can tap. FPGAs aren't super hard, but I don't think it's a leap to say they're still pretty arcane.

One thing I would say, is real time by design? That always seems to be one complaint of people when you are talking about dedicated hardware vs running things on a computer. People can argue until the sun goes down about what constitutes 'real time' in a cpu, as to how your RTOS works, how you are guaranteeing latency and response time. You're rarely if ever going to have that issue in FPGAs, you get control down to the clock cycle level. The downside is that it's like assembly, you have to specify it down to that level.

If your task consists of a bunch of independent workloads, FPGAs are great at that.

I would say, given the same end result, the FPGA can probably do it better, more efficiently, probably beat it in most important metrics. But the development getting to that point? If the CPU can physically do it, it's going to be a fraction of the development time, near guaranteed. Add on top of that, data handling, content, usability, things that are an afterthought on a computer are very non-trivial on an FPGA.

The horizon indicator alone should serve as a check. If you (the computer) think the plane is about to stall, it makes sense to nose it down to compensate. Ok, cool. But if you think it's stalling, and you see that you're at a negative attitude, then it's much more likely that trimming the horizontal stab is a bad idea.

I'm sure there are other checks as well. Also not sure if I'm missing something with this armchair analysis.
Exactly, sheltered wealth for the rich! :)
Came to say this so thanks for being so clear.

In Palo Alto I've seen an additional nuance. When I first moved here (1984) houses were underwater and there was lots of student rental. As Stanford built student housing, most of the houses became single family but there was an aggressive effort to keep the environment diversified (e.g. two SRO hotels downtown, section 8 requirements, and a lower median income than surrounding towns).

Then in the late 90s/early 00s the real estate interests took over the city council. It was in their interest to restrict supply for the reasons you stated; if you built it was to build larger, higher priced units as replacement for existing stock which are marketed to newcomers. It's great to have new neighbors, but when you move in and worry about the cost of your mortgage, you aren't really interested any more about the structure and balance of the community.

Taller buildings have been resisted as have most new multifamily residences. As a result, the median income has shot up, teachers, cops, firefighters and the like can no longer live here. It's a different and much less interesting place.
