Gershwin was american. I assume his kids/estate is american. So this involved a contract between a European opera company and US persons regarding a work protected by US copyright law. They could probably file in a US court and a court may well determine that the US is the better place the hear the case. (When between a person and a corporation, US court tend side with the person's location on issues of jurisdiction. If someone is going to get on a plane, they think it easier for the corporation.) It is a possibility.

Are you seriously suggesting some ppl risk their lives for 'change'? Sorry I really don't want to trade my life for bike lanes, there are ppl counting on me to stay alive.
Then what exactly was the superdelegate system?
That's true in places like India, but not really in the U.S. I own a company that does government contracting and have never "paid someone off" or done anything remotely "corrupt" but we have been wildly successful nonetheless.

There are NUMEROUS mechanisms for oversight and redress at every level - but the typical commercial-focused company doesn't understand them, so they don't research or learn what they are and just give up thereby developing a very misguided interpretation of the system akin to what you believe it is like.
Which is fine. If all your JS is doing is adding a few QoL features like collapsing comments, then your site will still be completely usable if the client chooses to not run JS.

Those that run JS will still load probably just as fast as those without it even if it's not truly "no JS."

I've never been hit, but I also always have lights on my bike, I've completely covered my bike with retroreflective tape, and I live on the West Side.

I used to ride my bike to my job in East Lakeview every day, which was about about 9 miles each way, and the last mile of my commute was always the worst. Lincoln Park and Lakeview are full of the most entitled drivers on the planet.

I once saved a kid from getting hit by a left turning driver by picking him up just before a driver hit him. The guy was taking a left hand turn while looking at his cell phone. The mom had bent down for half a second to pick up a bottle that her kid in a stroller had dropped.

On another note, rideshare drivers are the worst drivers in the city. They are unpredictable, they have no idea where they are going, they don't have experience driving in the city, and they are always looking at their cell phones.

Chicago needs to crack down on ridesharing. I've almost been hit by rideshare drivers who aren't looking where they are going 3 times in the past month. Each time they were driving in the bike lane looking to drop someone off or pick someone up.

Plus, ride shares absolutely murder traffic. I initially started riding my bike because all the ride shares pulling over made my commute go from 20 minutes each way to 30 minutes in the mornings and 40 in the evening. Any arguments that ride shares somehow are more efficient than actual driving ignore the fact that most drivers don't pull over in the middle of a busy street for 30 seconds to 2 minutes at the beginning and end of their trip.

Edit: I should also mention that I credit disc brakes for part of the reason I've never been hit. I can stop so much faster with then than with rim brakes, partly because I can modulate braking force better, and partly because it always bites right away, rather than needing a revolution to clean road grime or water off that rim brakes sometimes need. I swapped after I almost got right hooked going under the Cortland bridge. There's always water pooled there, and I honestly thought I was going to slide under a car for a few seconds.
Yes, and I imagine it would be really difficult, for good reasons (mostly esthetical), to convince a city to install poles and cables for package delivery. At the same time, we've seen drone trials going on for some time, and the idea of having expensive, autonomous flying machines, on a very limited battery life, carrying weights over our heads and delivering them possibly without even landing but just hovering and lowering a winch, well it seems pretty implausible.

A Google wing drone probably costs a few thousands, can deliver two cups of coffee on range of about 1.5km, in extremely controlled conditions, for 100 suburban homes. And has already pissed off people in the neighborhood. Imagine how it would work inside a city center, and how it would scale. And how would you adapt it to homes and buildings that have no garden and no roof terrace?
Of course, happy to take it via DM and I'd be glad to report back without any identifying information.

But then (according to the conspiracy theory) they could have engineered false rape accusations in any country that Assange had previously visited -- and that's a long list. It seems unlikely that Sweden would be at the top of the list. It seems far more likely that he just so happens to have raped a woman in Sweden while visiting.

On top of that, it would have been impossible to abduct him while he was in Police custody in Sweden without causing a major international incident.

Frankly, I'm losing track of all the different conspiracy theories. Some people are saying that the rape allegations were necessary to discredit him prior to extradition, because the US was super sensitive to public opinion. Others (like you) are saying that the US was so insensitive to public opinion that they planned to have him abducted and/or murdered extrajudicially. All of this crap is completely made up.

Hydroxyproline is found in collagen but your body can synthesize Hydroxyproline so it's not like collagen is the only way to get what you need which is how people/products make it sound. Any known benefits from taking in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline in the form of collagen are very specific to a small portion of the population (such as OCD sufferers) and, as you mentioned, only in very large doses. There are certainly ways to improve your skin/connective tissue without buying into what is mostly a marketing gimmick.
The speeds and distances of the planets are well known at this point and easily predicted. By the time of establishing a permanent presence on Mars the requirements of communications would already put in place the information needed if the DSN isn't already capable of it now. The compute needed would be greater, but so would the availability of it in the future too.
> If that bureaucracy is the only way to prevent corruption, then they must be horribly easy to corrupt.

The bar is much higher for government procurement, though. As an example, if I decide to use Codacy as my static analysis tool at work because I know the founder, nobody would bat an eyelid. If that same dynamic were reproduced at the government level, it would amount to corruption.

The dearth of manual transmission cars in the US has more to do with the franchise dealer floorplan financing system than with electric cars. Right now electrics and hybrids still have only a tiny market share.

Most US customers prefer to buy a new car off the lot and drive it home today rather than ordering exactly what they want and waiting for the factory to build it. So dealers have to forecast what customers want and stock those as inventory. Dealers finance their inventory so they live or die by turnover rates. Thus they mostly only stock the most popular models, colors, and options that sell fast. Customers who want automatic transmissions are usually unwilling to buy a manual, whereas customers who would prefer a manual will usually be willing to buy an automatic. So the dealers hardly order any manuals even when manufacturers still offer them.

> The Ycombinator text doesn’t say it, but the link does.

The title of the article as of this moment is, “Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image.” Saying, “the woman behind X” doesn’t emphasize gender any more than saying “the man behind X” does. Again, this is you projecting, perhaps because you think “normal” is male, and thus “woman” is somehow making a statement?

I see nothing in the body of the article that mentions her gender in any way other than using the pronoun “she.” It seems to me that you read an article about a female scientist and projected some kind of ulterior motive on the part of the author, which says a lot more about you than it does about the author.
Nuclear energy is a good example of the situation that self-driving cars find themselves. A common saying in my industry is that with safety critical systems you do not get to decide whether the systems kill people or not, the best you can do is decide how many people get killed. Unfortunately for self-driving cars, like nuclear energy, even if the number is far less than existing technologies the public has little appetite for the indiscriminate death.
Trains involve massive capital outlays and 60% of bus operating costs are for the driver, resulting in buses that are larger than necessary and therefore increasing the non-driver costs.

If we had self-driving vans we could provide better and cheaper transit to everyone.

Pair-Based Integer String Compression Method
I was just in Amsterdam this past autumn. It was awesome how most streets have bike lanes that are at-grade with the sidewalk instead of at-grade with the street, and that everyone respects as being for cyclists and does not block.

You're underestimating some of the speeds involved though. People will bike at speeds that feel safe to them. There's bike lanes there that are long, straight, and that have people going much faster on them than anyone can run. Amsterdam is full of life-long cyclists; some of them go pretty fast when it's safe to do so. It was quite impressive seeing some of the people on the city-style bikes hauling ass, especially when they didn't look like you'd expect them to. I do that here in NYC too; no sense in making my commute take any longer than necessary. Although I'm generally on a road bike when doing so, not a city bike!
Without knowing OP, it could have been a large number of things. Wikileaks publishes whatever it gets its hands on and has no scruples for safety or decency of what they post. The only "why" is to make headlines and stir people up.

I must ask - is there a hint of hyperbole here or are you dead serious? I currently work for a startup, and let's just say... I could've negotiated better on options when I joined. It's been on my mind to bring that up during my performance review.

Is that a fool's errand then? What is your advice when working at startups?

The entire concept of a dead man's switch doesn't even make sense when you think about it.

Say you have some embarrassing docs about the CIA/military and you threaten to release them automatically if you're killed. Have you considered that there are plenty of people in the world who would want that to happen? People with lots of money and their own highly trained murderers?

Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, possibly Mexico or Columbia (considering the shit the CIA's pulled there). Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some US government agency, rich dude, or corporation murders you for some weird internal power struggle.

Who's going to protect you? The CIA/military? The very organization that couldn't prevent its documents from getting stolen? How can you be certain they haven't shifted damage-control planning?

The idea of a "dead man's switch" plays into the conspiratorial black-and-white view of the world where there's a single, unified cabal. Reality is more complex.
Who's going to be liable for those deaths? The manufacturer? I don't think they'll be so hot on that. So really, they need to be orders of magnitude safer than humans, to the point that they are close to flawless.
I implemented something like this in Python for my LaTeX/beamer presentation recently. For example, see this and the following slides:

https://speakerdeck.com/mmcloughlin/better-x86-assembly-gene...

The sample code is in a file with special comments at the end of each line specifying which slide numbers it should be revealed on as well as inline commentary to show to the right of the line. Syntax highlighting is provided by Pygments.

I was thinking about open sourcing it, it's actually only approx 200 lines of Python but I think it's quite effective.
Yup, have a Subaru and adaptive cruise control is great, but I doubt I'd want auto-steer. Steering just isn't much work but keeps you attentive without causing the fatigue that speed management does.
I saw the winch in the video and thought "what if someone grabbed the rope and used it to pull the drone to the ground", but then I saw the comment speculating that the drone could jettison the winch.

I predict that when drone delivery services are commonplace, there will be a community of drone hunting enthusiasts.
So glad this is the first comment.

They're not. Protected bike lanes are for sure safer than unprotected bike lanes.

If there are problems at intersections, that means that the bike lanes aren't protected enough. Amsterdam for example doesn't have these kinds of issues because their design (and especially light signaling) is better.
No, I don't want people to risk their lives for anything. I want things to change. 40,000 people die a year in the US while driving or riding in cars, following your logic, that is also extremely risky, and so we shouldn't do it.
I heard the guy who wrote the government regulations for cloud computing promptly resigned after it passed and went to go work for AWS.
I think the reason it's confusing is that the way that bit in the article is worded does little to imply that you want a LOW angular resolution, and it doesn't directly mention resolution in and of itself (which is understood to have an inverse relationship with angular resolution, as it is directly affected by diameter).

It took me several rereads and reading the comments here to understand that we want low numbers for angular resolution.

I suppose it's fairly obvious for one well-versed in optics, but to the layman (like me) it's initially opaque.
I agree, but the optics are awful. It's not a technical problem, it's a psychological one.

I don't have any sources to back this up, but I'd wager that people, on average, would prefer to take a risk an order of magnitude greater if they believed they had some degree of control over the outcome.

I.e. let's say 10% of conventional cars experienced a fatal accident, and 1% of self-driving cars experienced a fatal accident. I think most people would choose to be in the 10% fatality group because they feel like they would be in control.

Anecdotally, I have a co-worker who hates flying because she feels like she isn't in control, even though aviation deaths are extremely rare.
They are not necessarily the same persons…
So all new street construction has to include bike lanes. Is there any provision to ensure a steady pace of road maintenance/upgrades? I think this strategy has a real risk of stagnating the already slow rate of road maintenance in a lot of places.

In places like Cambridge where there is money, it seems like a smart move. But making construction more expensive won't work everywhere.
Perhaps. It wasn't in my area last I checked, but that was a few years ago.

Space, however, is not there anymore. I have more space than I strictly need, but certainly not enough for cabinets and pinball tables.

The way free speech works isn't that nobody is ever wrong, it's that the debate ultimately leads to the truth.

People who don't understand science don't trust random scientists, and there is a reason for that -- anyone can put on a lab coat and say whatever they want. You have to consider the source and actually read the research and determine if it's credible. Most people don't have the training for that, and many of the others don't have the time, but that's not a problem as long as you trust someone who does. Your brother in law is a chemist and you trust his opinion; he trusts the CDC's. When your trusted chemist and your trusted nurse disagree, they get together and hash it out and if they're both being reasonable then one ultimately convinces the other.

The problem comes when you introduce a culture of attacking rather than debating people. Because you're not going to silence the CDC, but you may very well silence the brother in law, and then you create a group of people who don't trust anyone providing the true facts because everyone within their in-group is being silenced.

Which is why, despite a century of various fringe anti-vax misinformation, it's only now, in the climate of filter bubbles and deplatforming, that enough people believe it to compromise herd immunity and allow diseases like measles to stage a comeback.
Los Angeles DOT’s Ride Tracking Pilot Is Out of Control
Not true. 23% of all government money goes to small businesses. Over 30% in certain agencies and up to 60% in some. Like I've been saying here, you need to take the time to learn the market because if you don't, you will just believe it is stacked against you when it really isn't and is actually more friendly to smaller companies than certain commercial markets.
You're mixed up here and so are many other HN comments about finance. Banks and markets are the middle men. They move the money around. If money happens to flow into investment pools, the money doesn't go there to die. Those pools in turn invest into things such as car part manufacturers. We need these middle men to make the money flow easier and more efficient.

The place that wealth gets destroyed is at the investment level (in your definition is the economy). At my previous company, they spent billions on plants and they very often sit idle... like 95% idle. That is where the wealth dies.

Google moving the money around from one pool to another doesn't destroy value. Google laying optical fiber down then abandoning it does destroy value.
You don't need much math to pick up the very basic theory, but after a certain point you're going to hit a hard wall unless you have a strong background in analysis.
Cars are highly cyclical, which means future demand can be predicted very well. Cars are cyclical because they last for 5 to 15 years. When everyone is done buying new cars, there's a lull and car companies need to cut back supply.

"Everyone" is hurting because "everyone" is part of the same cycle in the industry. Ford, GM, etc. etc. have all closed plants in anticipation of the lower-demand over the next year or two.
Other countries didn't have recently closed cases to reopen that also allow extraordinary rendition.
