We could have all the money in the world for infrastructure and not fix the congestion problem. There's a hard limit to how many cars can physically fit on the roads at a time, and the number of people who want to use the road at rush hour exceeds that limit.

Given the cost of driving in NYC, using congestion pricing to pay for transit would almost certainly be a move that increases, not reduces, equality.
I would rather something crash and log than continue silently most of the time, especially with backend and server systems.

One of the things I like about Kubernetes is that the ecosystem (generally) tries to adhere to the "Not healthy? Then crash and keep crashing" mantra when something doesn't work. If I see something is in a CrashLoopBackoff I at least know its b0rked. Stuff that reports its up and running when it's actually hosed is really annoying.
> They could make the trim control wheel mechanically assisted

I'd imagine it already IS mechanically assisted. There is a limit to how much you can amplify a pilot's input mechanically, and I'd imagine the load on the aircraft exceeded the amount of amplification needed.

I.e. your car has power steering, so the car manually adds power to the turn based on the user's input. That doesn't mean that something in the road can't override the input of both the driver and power steering and jerk the wheel.
It gratifys me in some weird way to know that companies stress out about the recruitment process at least as much as I do
How to use methodtable of the another type for fast call of the private methods
It is not too late. Basic advice is to give value without expecting anything directly in return. To be the person producing (at the front of the room), not just consuming (in the audience). You want to try to become the local maximum in a certain space time coordinate (e.g. monthly meetup giving talk).

You don’t have to be the keynote speaker, to start. This can be as simple as volunteering to give a lightning talk at a local meetup on something that you are interested in. More often than not, other people may be interested in the things you are interested in. Or hang out on special interest Slacks or discords.

I was in the UK recently and my Youtube recommendations showed me a live FIFA 19 tournament hosted by Sky TV. 75% of the screen showed the gameplay, while the other 25% showed PIP camera angles focused on the players.

I checked it out for a few minutes; it wasn't as boring as I thought it'd be, but after ~10 mins there really was no need to watch further. The appeal of real sports isn't just the action on the field, it's also the noise of the crowd, the in-game drama (fouls, occasional fights, bad ref decisions) and the personalities of the players.

In e-sports, the last factor is completely non-existent. Each time I looked at the PIP screens, I saw two barely moving figures with hoods over their heads blankly staring at a screen. I know, they're playing video games, what did I expect?

Went ahead and closed the tab.
Even if congestion pricing included funding for the construction of public transportation, are you just proposing the poor wait 10 years for the construction of usable public transportation after they are priced out of using the roads?

And I offered a second example with a nested error, and nothing changed. Errors are just enums, there's nothing more complex than this. It's that simple.

But it wouldn't check the error types. It's a zero-cost abstraction.

Neither does in my case... unless I care about the actual errors, which I did in this case in main() just for completeness.
I always found the grueling training regimes a race to the bottom.

Yes, the first one that introduces it has an edge and crushes everything for 3-4 years but then everyone else starts doing the same training so back to square one...with the difference that now you cannot head down to the bar every now and then as everyone and their grandmothers are working out and going to sleep at 10PM to have a chance winning a game.

I believe that the sportspeople should have gentlemen's agreements on the amount of training to put themselves through.

They’d be better off providing standard free functions that can operate on any bucket of bytes claiming to be UTF-8 (allowing operations like iterating over complete composed sequences, creating normalization forms, erasing or inserting based on ranges of composed character sequences, etc.). I don’t want to be forced to create a std::string for example. The bytes might be an incomplete stream as well, e.g. requiring processing up to the last complete thing, detecting invalid sequences.

Great article. I did one of the first non-endemic brand deals with a major esports team (Team Liquid) in 2015, with the explicit goal of showing that gamers are athletes.

I actually would find embattled a bit of an unusual word choice for someone on trial for a crime outside of a broader context. If someone's arrested for murder, we'd call them a suspected murderer or alleged murderer, not someone embattled.

As you say, I associate embattled more with, say, an executive caught up in a scandal or who is likely to be dismissed for poor performance.

I think the issue is the difference between the force needed to trim the aircraft and the acceptable control gain between the yoke and the elevator. I think with light aircraft trim is what you think of it. Slightly centers the yoke so the aircraft will fly level without control input.

I think what's going on with the 737-MAX is the needed trim is way beyond what's needed to fly the plane.

I'm now wondering is the MACS is needed because the tendency to pitch up also exceeds the pilots control inputs which is why it had to be on the elevator and have that much authority. Meaning once the aircraft pitches up the pilot doesn't have enough authority to push the nose back down.

Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed browsing Wikiclaim and it feels to me like I've never seen anywhere on the Internet that centralises this kind of content (commonly heard claims with info for/against)...

Having said that, the usual strategy when I hear a new claim I'm not sure about is to google it; so is the Google search engine itself the competition for this site? It does try to give an "answer" at the top of search results these days. Then there is Quora.

The main advantage Wikiclaim has is that, like Wikipedia, the info can be moderated and updated, and hopefully can become an improving source of truth. Godspeed, devinplatt!
End of the day, an attorney represents your interests. A real estate agent may represent you but their actual duties are fairly minimal.

Real estate agents fiduciary responsibility is held to a reasonable care standard for matters relating to real estate. That means they need to be competent. Many of the things that buyers seek advice from agents are answered like "In my experience, blah blah blah". Those are usually legal questions, which agents are not able to answer. Often when people get in trouble, its because they don't understand what they are asking and mistake salesy fluff for an answer.

End of the day, 99% of what a "buyers" real estate agent does is bullshit that makes you feel better. "Sellers" real estate agents get listings, period. Buyers agents exist because people good at getting listings have a disincentive to talk to buyers. The buyers agent's primary task is getting ahold of keys quickly and pushing sellers to accept offers. Shitty agents who are incompetent or dishonest may slow-roll things to get you to accept offers quickly.

They may help you identify the type of home you want, but that isn't a fiduciary duty.

I'm in the segment of people who think baseball is extremely slow-paced and impossible to watch on TV, and yet I go to the occasional game. It's a social event more than anything else, and a way to be outdoors with friends and have a shared experience with (sometimes) thousands of other people.

I know some esport tournaments take place in sports arenas, but everything else has always been on niche TV channels and online, so the social factor is very much absent.

My every day workstation is a Dell Studio 540 from 2009 that I've upgraded to the max in every possible way but without changing the motherboard and case.

The only upgrade I haven't pursued (because I thought it was impossible) is bumping up the RAM beyond 8GB. If anyone has experience bumping 2009 era Dell motherboards (in particular the M017G motherboard) beyond 8GB RAM and has any tips to offer, please let me know!

If I could bump up the RAM to 16GB, I might be able to keep using my beloved desktop for another 10 years :)

> 1 step forward on changing lanes automatically, 2 steps backwards on driving into concrete dividers automatically and killing the driver.

People die in cars: true. Telsa features have played a role in human death: also true. However it's overly simplistic to point a finger at a popular (to love and hate) brand. However, human ignorance has also played a role in those deaths. Tesla isn't fully autonomous and they make no claims their cars are today. This isn't the same as making futures claims. So while Tesla features have failed you also turn a blind eye in your statement to the lives saved. Those are less well publicized because they are not as interesting with regard to headlines.

How many lives saved quantifies the risk of loss of life? While I'm not saying with hard data that Tesla has saved more lives than it's killed with features it provides, but if I were to wager a guess my money would be on the lives saved side of the tally.

The path to fully autonomous is a rocky one. There's so many things that will be huge hurdles the closer we get. But, take a step back. Look at the forest instead of a broken branch. We all benefit from these strides and mistakes overall. The media does a great job of removing all considerations of a story's context when it's convenient for a sensational article. Realize there is an ownership of the situation lacking in your argument. People die every day because of bad choices and mistakes of their own volition and those should be given a more equal weighting when armchair quarterbacking these types of positions.

> honestly a few months seems really reasonable given the time spent making the decision?

If your current car is not usable you don't have a few months. This does not just apply to people who drive beater cars -- your nice, well-maintained car could get totaled in an accident tomorrow and you'll need to get a new car.

Obviously it is not good to be car shopping in those circumstances but sometimes you don't have a choice. You could buy or lease a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt this afternoon, or you could wait several months for a Tesla.

Yeah I'm feeling a little unsure myself after reading these replies... I had a checkup very recently and got the all clear... The most recent incident I was referring to (I hiked up 5000 feet in a couple hours and ran the descent) caused severe DOMS, and I think the elevated RHR may have been due to muscle damage in my legs. I was probably not physically prepared for that large of a running descent. But I'll keep an eye on it.

Unintentional spoilage and intentional tampering are two different things. There's nothing disingenuous about mentioning one of them but not the other.

It's true that, depending on the implementation, approval voting can be subject to tampering. But the key point there is "depending on the implementation". There are any number of anti-tampering measures that are compatible with approval. Other comments here have suggested some of them (such as using "0" vs "+" as marks). Others might rely on technological fixes (such as immediate ballot scans by multiple independent non-networked devices) or social ones (multiple witnesses during all stages of ballot collection and counting).

It may not be possible to be 100% certain of preventing every possibility of ballot-counting fraud, but it seems that >99.9% is possible, and that's basically good enough. In well-administered elections, spoilage is a much bigger problem. Thus, it's reasonable to focus on spoilage.

You Are Not Google (2017)
The price of a good usually isn't determined by the cost to manufacture and sell. Why should books be different?

When the market structure of a good results in full competition, then the cost of a good is going to tend toward the cost of producing the good plus basic profit (if a company raises prices past this, another company can enter the market to produce the good more cheaply).

When the market structure of a good involves an effective monopoly, the cost will tend to whatever price the monopoly thinks will generate the most total profit (and that depends on the supply curve).

Naturally, you have markets that inbetween these two poles (economists talk about oligopolies and "monopolistic competition").

As far as what the price of books should be, if you think of a publisher as naturally having monopoly since each book is unique, then it makes sense for ebooks to not cost less. But if you imagine a look of books could be substituted for other books (one c++ manual versus another) then it makes sense for the price of ebooks to be less than that of regular books.

You can do that with a gasoline vehicle if you'd like. Or not, if you'd rather spend your time at your actual destination.

"While these people may not drive and thus are seemingly cheated out of tax money, I have to ask, where do they get their groceries and other goods? How do they expect medical services to reach them in an emergency? How do they expect commerce to occur within an arms reach but at reasonable prices?"

If they live in New York, presumably they get their food from bodegas. Those corner stores in turn get their inventory shipped in mostly by truck. So, when congestion taxes go into effect, that shipping will get more expensive and the food will get slightly more expensive. Which seems fine to me.

Either you are paying for it directly through your taxes or indirectly through pricing, but one way more directly places the burden on the industries that use the roads, creating (in my opinion) less market distortion and better allocation of resources. If fewer people use the roads in a major city, the vehicles that do will have an easier time of it. This would likely make food delivery and emergency services cheaper, not more expensive.

I don't live in a major city, but I do live in a suburb with extremely bad traffic during rush hour. A big part of the problem is that there is a disconnect between the cost of the roads and their use. As a result, people treat the roads as a free resource and this creates traffic. The government attempts to expand the road system to handle the traffic, but that just encourages higher usage. There is no back pressure and people who don't drive much subsidize those that do. Charging people directly for road usage rather than hiding it in gas and other taxes would be helpful.
