> This, to me, signals the general attitude people have towards bicyclists in the US. The average person either doesn't care or, for some misguided reason or another, actively hates bicyclists. I've been yelled at by drivers for no apparent reason so many times I've lost count.

My experience as a pedestrian (I don't ride a bike on the street so I can't speak to that experience) mirrors this. More than once, I've been honked or yelled at for being in an actual, marked crosswalk, crossing the street. (Never mind all of the driver complaints about my use of legal, unmarked crosswalks.)

On a former commute, I regularly got off the bus at a bus stop immediately adjacent to a signaled crosswalk that several of us used. We regularly got honked at by drivers bringing their cars to a screeching halt as the light changed and, once on a holiday, when it was just me and my kid, a driver yelled "if you weren't so fucking poor you wouldn't have to ride the bus!"

> It's really sad, I think it's a symptom of something a lot more sinister happening to the hearts and minds of people in this country

Agreed, and I live in a city where ways of getting to work and around town that aren't a single-occupant vehicle are now in the cumulative majority yet the pushback has increased even more. People regularly write letters to the local paper about how they "openly" use the bus and bike lanes for their cars because "[screw] those entitled people."

I hold a driving license and, until recently, owned a car that I regularly used. This behavior ought to be unacceptable and more actively enforced against but I can only imagine the uproar if an even light "crackdown" happened.
It doesn't make it any less bad, but it does make me question the motivations of the reporter.

Either A) They know what their own website is doing and think it's OK, in which case there may be a conflict of interest. If that's the case, we should take any suggestions they have about how to resolve the problem with a gain of salt.

or B) They don't know what their own website is doing, in which case they've done a pretty poor job researching their own article. I don't expect a reporter to be a tech expert, but I do expect them to be inquisitive enough to think, "when people say that advertising pays for reporting, might they conceivably mean the same thing as when they say that advertising pays for Facebook?"

Facebook's privacy violations are bad. The hypocrisy of journalists calling them out doesn't change that. But in the privacy community, it should make us suspicious of their articles for the same reason we should be suspicious of a scientific study of sugar paid for by the meat industry. It should push us to double check their claims and question what their motivations are.

These are people who's interests either happen to align with ours temporarily and that might change in the future, or they're allies who haven't done enough research to be able to make strong claims about what our responses and policy changes should be.

It's not that Buzzfeed is wrong about Facebook. It's that they're not currently in a responsible or knowledgeable enough position to lead the conversation about Facebook.

Seems in some places, it's perfectly (socially) acceptable to pick on others, as long as you're picking on the 'right' group of folks.

There has been widespread advocacy for this sort of socially acceptable "picking on" in the West and in the United States in recent years. People in the SV/Bay Area tech and creative circles will do this. A few years ago, media people were advocating that we label people "Nazis" and then punch them.

I remember people from my youth who used to namecall and label people, then haze them or do violence to them. They would have correctly been called racists and homophobes. In 2019, when people engage in similar behaviors, but for the "other" side, I see this as much worse. The best way to hurt a cause is to advocate for it badly.

It doesn't matter the professed beliefs and stated reasons. To me, the actions speak much louder than the words.

From what I gathered when I got an offer for a government contract position: the company has an idea of how many people they want to hire (or things they want to buy) to fulfill the contract.

This can involve making "contingent offers" to get people interested, which to my knowledge carry no actual legal weight and is really just an informal agreement.

This way, you get a reasonable pool of candidates without actually having to hire anyone.
> if you think about it, that's not really a reasonable thing to want to do. That RIAA lock-taker is not the kind of object that you want to move, or even copy.

It actually is (at least re: moving). Tying lock acquisition to object lifetime is a Good Thing (TM), and if you wanted to extend or shrink the lifetime of that lock you should be able to do that by moving the RAII object, the same as how you could do it with a shared_ptr or whatever.

Did you bother to read some of the comments people have written here and did you even read my whole text or just hand-picked something that triggered you and decided to argue?

Like I said before, based on OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS, I recommended them to consider those guidelines. I still have no idea why it became about me projecting something.

Regardless, to cover your point, media companies use titles to instill something in the reader and emotion is often a tool. "The woman behind..." or "The man behind..." doesn't have any impact on the way I process the information, however, it does for others (positive and negative). For a children, it can be a source of inspiration, for someone else it can trigger something negative based on the current environment of things. This tool has been used to glorify astronauts, soldiers and many other areas. I didn't project anything, I read OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS and thought it was important for them to consider what I said.

Hopefully in the future, everyone will stop putting so much emphasis in biological characteristics (READ OTHER COMMENTS HERE AND ELSEWHERE) and take it for what it is, a bright scientist gave us a snapshot of something we have been curious to see for decades. Regardless, you should re-read my comments to realize your points are null and you likely misconstrued my points based on your preconceived notion and current state of mind. If you are willing to have a healthy debate, I would be more than willing to dig into some of the topics you may have, including the amazing work Dr. Katie Bouman did. Now if your aim is to continue to attack me for something I didn't do, then I hope you have a good day.

> Mixing cyclists and pedestrians causes a whole set of different problems (and injuries).

The other issue is that pedestrians do not typically follow traffic rules while walking. That is, they won't keep to one side of the path, they won't signal their intention to change direction in advance, etc. This makes it much more difficult to ride among them compared to riding in traffic where drivers do generally follow the rules.
Apple products and services mostly fit my needs and I'm willing to pay the price for that.

Things I value:

- Physically beautiful products with high build quality (2016+ MacBook keyboards notwithstanding), including the best displays and trackpads

- A business model oriented heavily around privacy and security

- iOS: the app ecosystem is second to none in terms of quality

- macOS: built on UNIX with a stable, aesthetically pleasing, and functional desktop environment

That said, where it makes sense I choose other products. Spotify is lightyears ahead of Apple Music and I spend accordingly.

I occasionally scope the landscape for alternatives and never come up with anything substantial. I absolutely don't want an Android phone, and any switching away from a MacBook would involve taking on a lot more friction in my day to day. I enjoy the occasional tryst with GNU/Linux but I don't want it to be my main driver, even if I could get a proper display and trackpad. Windows is entirely out of the question.

>I'm not sure how such a system could possibly work; human attention doesn't work that way. If the robot drive 2 hours and 35 minutes just fine and one minute later decides to drive off the road, how is a human going to react to that? It's not really possible.

Right now the self driving tech doesn't do anything to communicate with the driver besides just a general warning. However that doesn't have to be the case. Maybe some type of confidence indicator should be added. A simple green, yellow, red warning system could help a driver know when a self driving car might not be as certain in its surroundings.

>If a human has to pay attention all the time, then they might as well just be driving.

I just don't get this mindset. There are different levels of "paying attention" that require different levels of mental energy. The discussion also isn't made with nearly any other driver assist technology. No one suggests that automatic transmissions or cruise control are worthless because the driver still has to pay attention.

>And one of the advantages of self driving cars will be freedom for the elderly and disabled who already have difficulty driving cars. This is the group, in my opinion, that will benefit the most from self driving cars.

I agree with that, but it doesn't mean that other drivers won't benefit as well.

Update: I ran a quick benchmark (large matrix multiplication) between GNU APL, J, and NumPy (standard pre-compiled linux amd64 packages, all running single-core.) Here are the results.

GNU APL (1.7)

⍴+.×⌿?2 3000 3000⍴1e10

- size 3000: 65s, 9GiB RSS
(crash on bigger sizes)

J (8.07)

$(+/ .*)/?2 3000 3000$1e10

- size 3000: 2s, 0.2GiB RSS
- size 10000: 60s, 3.7GiB RSS
(crash on bigger sizes)

NumPy (1.13.3, blas/lapack 3.7.1)

import numpy
a=numpy.random.randint(0, 1e10, (2,3000,3000))
print((a[0,] @ a[1,]).shape)

- size 3000: 25s, 0.2GiB RSS
- size 10000: (>15m, I killed it) 2.3GiB RSS

Conclusions:

J's implementation is surprisingly performant! Easily beating NumPy on speed alone by a factor of 10 or more! (And I thought blas/lapack were already heavily optimized libraries!) J's memory usage is comparable to that of NumPy. GNU APL had the worst memory and cpu profile of them all.

> You put up separate lights, where there is a red turn arrow for the cars and a light for the bicycles

The problem is that the time to wait for the signal to turn green starts taking longer and longer and people will start to ignore the signals. I see it all the time with pedestrian signals. That is, pedestrians will just start crossing on the don't walk sign rather than waiting for the next 2 minutes before it changes. The same thing will happen when the red phase starts taking more than a minute to change to green or people (whether when in a car or on a bike) will start running the red lights more if they know they're going to get stuck for multiple minutes at the signal otherwise.

This would require a herculean amount of governance and transparency to be okay with me, and I would expect more sanity in road legislation (higher reasonable top speeds, for example) as well.

> If there are problems at intersections, that means that the bike lanes aren't protected enough

Unless you design the intersections properly, then you're never going to achieve that protection. The best way to design them would be to follow how limited access highways/motorways interact with surface streets. In other words, they use interchanges.

Republicans are definitely not interested in enfranchising eligible voters, especially demographics they think will vote against them, and it shows:

Whether it's removing polling places where demographics work against them [0], purging voter rolls with a heavy bias against black voters [1], placing polling places in gated communities [2], cutting down polling places in cities, onerous requirements to obtain a voter ID [4](essentially becoming a poll tax), or refusing to renew and update the Voting Rights act, it's clear the Republican party is not interested in allowing every legal citizen the right to vote.
