The connections actually go to the top of mountains as well, you can buy a ticket from Munich to the top of Zugspitze for example.
"Free" isn't free - road use in private cars vs shared transportation in buses or rail have dramatically different costs and returns per person in terms of pollution, percentages of public space used for vehicle storage, peak throughput for a given corridor over time, fuel cost, etc. Congestion pricing is about adjusting the incentives between road use and transit use to encourage more efficiency with the lowest overall cost to society.
Not to be a pedant, but can the headline be changed to what it actually is? I clicked it hoping to see how they were carrying it out.

Implements as a verb means they actually carried it out: threw in tollbooths, bill-by-plate, or EZ-Pass. Not done yet.

Still, it would be much more useful to compare total compensation, at least for late stage startups and public companies. Maybe that's something to consider for the next update?
Yeah, too often I've had interviewers who were far too eager to go and go all the way down to the minor corner cases of a problem (even if I try to beg off of them) and in the end I have no time to ask interesting questions. Questions that might reveal more about my skills than the last two corner cases.
May be the measure should be how harmful it is to continue?

> abolishing capitalism in favour of socialism

> There are even variants of socialism that embrace markets and competition, and almost all allow ownership of _personal_ means of production...

Socialism and capitalism are not opposite ends of a yardstick. I am _not talking about socialism_. Limiting the ability to own property or trade _is the same thing_ as limiting freedom. One has literally limited the abilities of another. These are not opinions, but rather _pure deduction lead to a non-controversial point_. You can keep insulting me or you can engage.

Indeed. And PHP has surprsingly good support for typing these days!

One possibility is a diesel-electric locomotive that also has a pickup on the top. That way part of the lines can be electrified, and the diesel fills in the gaps.
You're providing the animal with a space to live, safety from predators, safe food and clean water, and the freedom to roam a potentially large landscape.

Yeah, the animal is not autonomous. Do animals understand autonomy? Can they tell the difference? Maybe whales in capyivity can, but they are used to roaming the vast oceans. I think cattle would be perfectly happy in such an environment. Anthropomorphizing them is not helpful.
Folding bikes are becoming more and more popular lately. You can take them without a ticket or restriction, which is nice.
I think the biggest potential area for algorithm-driven improvement isn't so much coming up with clever ways to trace rays faster, but rather coming up with ways to generate better quality output within a given rays-per-second budget.

Machine-learning-based denoising algorithms are a good example of that.

Can you elaborate on how my feet would help get me to remote trailheads? Even if buses took me directly to the dirt roads, it's often another 20 miles to the trailhead itself.

It's not just "at the time" - it still does that, and I'm saying this as an immigrant from a society that relies much more on public transport. I'm not disputing the impact, but in these discussions, it's often presented as price that's paid for no gains of note, and that's just not true. Whether they're worth the cost is another discussion.
There aren't really "both ways" in the sense that the subsidy is equivalent between meat and other uses.

Yes, rail is suitable for arterial transportation. However intercity transportation by rail is crippled in the US because there are very few intracity rail networks to receive you at your destination, for the reasons I outlined.
This is the point being made by many of us here in Portland when congestion pricing is brought up. It makes vastly less sense here without good public transit, and it will disproportionately affect the working classes. While the wealthy will continue as usual.

Great they're getting on it. I'll note that the early security kernels attempted to mitigate timing channels. GEMSOS used event counts and sequences IIRC. It was also mandatory for high-assurance security under TCSEC regulations to look for them and try to mitigate them. There was no reason to think it would actually work over time at the rate bypasses were discovered. They were trying, though.

More recently, under the MILS model for partitioning kernels, they've applied stuff like ARINC time and space partitioning to separation kernels for both safety- and security-critical applications. Big in aerospace for DO-178C regulations. One example [1] describing some timing protections. That can mitigate some timing channels. The one good thing about Meltdown/Spectre's publicity is CompSci folks are coming up with all kinds of stuff on this problem.

I have a close friend with paranoid schizophrenia and also bipolar who, after an episode, underwent ECT.

The medication that stopped him from hearing voices pre ECT/episode started again after ECT. After a year, the Psychiatrist is still trying to find the right combination of medication to stop it - they've (I think) more than tripled his current dosage of lithium along with others that I'm not aware of but it's unpredictable how much time the medication change actually takes effect, could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.

I don't know where I was going with this, just sad to see him like this.
Interestingly, trains today are technically diesel-electric, where a diesel engine is feeding a generator, which feeds traction motors on the axles.

So putting in a battery would "just" mean swapping out the fuel tank, engine, and generator. Probably the biggest issue I could see is, the battery would have to be able to handle extremely high currents to get the consist moving. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SD90MAC shows a power output of up to 4.47 Megawatts at full engine speed (for the EMD 265).

Exceptional storms still happen a lot more often than train derailments. It doesn't take a hurricane.

I was in one of the last flights to land at EWR on February 25 before all the area airports were closed for 12 hours. From the ground it was a moderately windy day. In the air, it was scary as hell, and the first time I vomited on a plane, with about a quarter of the other passengers.

There were no derailments or train delays that day.

For now, yes.

Electric vehicles backed by sustainable power, when we reach that distant but ever-nearing goal, will be pretty good. Not as fast as flying but maybe we’ll get practical commercial passenger electric aircraft at some point.

On the delivery of goods side of things, the Tesla Semi should also be a game changer. Efficient and door to door.

For trains, I’d love to see how much could be done with, say, a dedicated power (battery) car per pure electric locomotive. I’m not claiming this would be a win; it might be too heavy. But it would be interesting to know.

Strain on the eyes and blue light, iirc, suppresses a hormone related to sleep. Been wearing a pair for the past two years after a coworker recommended them after I mentioned my eyes always feel super strained by the end of the day and have trouble sleeping. They really do make a huge difference.

Before, my eyes were super heavy and aching by the end of the day, and now they feel as though only an hour of screen time has passed. Thing is if I take them off while working/looking at any screen without a blue light filter, they start aching within 10 minutes :/
I don't know where you're getting your information, but US real estate rents and prices are low by developed economy standards. Here is a link: http://www.newgeography.com/content/006201-15th-annual-demog...

"The most affordable major housing markets are in the United States, with a moderately unaffordable Median Multiple of 3.9, followed by Canada (4.3) and Singapore (4.6). Ireland and the United Kingdom both have Median Multiples of 4.8. The major markets of Australia (6.9), New Zealand (9.0) and China (20.9) are severely unaffordable (Table ES-2)."
Deadlines are a must IMHO to scale anything, they should be negotiated and adjustable (either by moving the deadline, taking on debt, or cutting scope), but are necessary.

Why? because theres more to a buisness then enginnering (and product). Sales, marketing, investor's, and other entities also deal with complex issues thwt require them to reliably understand the priority and timeline for products.

I've seen teams that follow "it's done when its done" and teams who work as a unit to hit on or very near deadlines. The latter is usually 2-4x+ more efficient and the former I have only seen work when the buisness was in a spot that it could go at least 6months without and product/enginnering output. I would flee from any startup that took the former approach.

> I spent months injecting mice with cancer cells

How do you inject cancer cells? Is it just a syringe that goes into the blood stream or is it intramuscular? Basically, do you have to find tiny veins on the mice using a small syringe tip?

> you need to wash and spin them down

Are you referring to the animal here or prepping the injection?

Also, I'd imagine it would be hard if you had to paralyze a mouse/rat for research on physical disabilities or other more invasive things than just injecting cancer.

When I do eventually write a COC for my project (i.e. when more than 0 people have seen it :-) ), this is an important section that I want to write. I choose free software licenses because I want my users to be as free as I am in their choices.

I thought long and hard about why I write free software. It's not for an altruistic reason. I do it because it is something important to me. If I allow others to dictate what I should be doing, then I lose my reason to write free software. The free software license is their guarantee that no matter what crazy thing I decide to do, or say, they can carry on without me. That's as fair as I want to get.

> What used to be a $9-10 Uber ride is now $19-20. What I can walk in 10 minutes now costs $11. That's... ridiculous.

That's... the market clearing price. It's pricing a scarce resource (road space) to demand. If you're not willing to pay that $19 or $11 but someone else is, they should get that ride while you walk.

The city should be looking to price transportation options to shift usage patterns toward matching available supply. Road space for cars is the scarcest, followed by space on subways and buses, then pedestrian space as the most plentiful.
My time machine works, though not instantly - it takes approximately 60 seconds to travel one minute into the future.
This makes me think of Kairosoft (the company that makes all those relaxed, bite-sized simulation games) as one of the examples of a company sustainably making a huge number of small, inexpensive, but engaging games. I think part of their secret sauce is in how they take some of the same basic gameplay concepts and adapt them to different themes with just enough new stuff to change the gameplay loop, so the conceptual development overhead is minimized to just the new stuff.

I spent a decade on antidepressants and more times than I care to count I wound up in a foreign country with no meds (lost, forgot, you name it) and had to find a pharmacist willing to help me out.

False claims, hate speech and clearly manipulative rhetorics in political posts that can affect elections should probably be treated like terrorism in every country (I used to be a free speech absolutist but now I see it doesn't work, a significant portion of people fail to distinguish nonsensical propaganda themselves). But the only way I see to implement this an unbiased way without ruling regimes punishing people for truth they don't like is to delegate the job of detecting such posts to a neutral international body of experts, e.g. a department within UN.

You asserted that the abolition of capitalism would result in depravation of freedom.

That is a value judgement.

It is also not true. It is a rephrasing of a line that anti-socialsts have been using for over 100 years. Therefore, propaganda.

I don't care that you're trying to hide the structural violence of capitalism under a veil of civility.

Would Warp have an option to use native (iOS/Android) VPN clients, instead of installing their app? Like, providing warp.mobileconfig configuration profile?

I'm using native iOS/MacOS IKEv2 client with selected few VPN providers, and pretty happy with not having 3rd party app on my mobiles/desktops.

OK. TFA says "We built Warp around WireGuard". That kills native client support.
That seems very true to me. As an anecdotical data point: I lived in Munich for over 30 years, and never drove. Did not even have a driver's license.

I then moved to the Bay Area, and now I'm driving everywhere.

Even to towns that I could actually reach with BART (which are not many), I would then face the problem, as you laid out yourself, to actually get around there.
I wonder if batteries, motor and third rail connections could be added to the flat cars that carry shipping containers. Skip the engine all together, and make trains fully dynamic. Probably not worth the cost.

It would be kinda cool to see a long train split in half , front and back taking different routes.
Less bloated software is always a good idea, I am a bit concerned with the idea that smaller source equals better programs. It seems to me that by sacrificing source size he has lost some readability, his example may be <1K but it's at the cost of increased difficulty debugging, porting and modding. IMHO removing formatting just to reduce source size and or line count is as bad as loading a huge library only to use one of said library's functions.

How does that make them profiteers?
One always has constraints, if only in time/budget/imagination. And those are some pretty boring, vanilla constraints.

Different constraints encourage or force different approaches, which gives you different results. You're not going to have a budgeting meeting over a <1K demo. You're not going to contract out to an artist. You're not going to use a large engine. You're not going to make a doom clone. You're not going to hum and haw over what middleware to use. It limits how much over-engineering you can invent. <1K is a pretty extreme constraint... but it's not that far off from what the demoscene does, and they discover some fascinating techniques and tricks in the process.
