The Apple II cost $1298 (in 1977 dollars, $5444 today). That's with 4K of RAM. The 48K RAM drove the price up to $2638. Disk drives and monitor were extra.

The Apple Lisa cost $10000 (in 1983 dollars, $25522 today).

A 512K "Fat Mac" Macintosh cost $3200 (in 1984 dollars, $7829 today).

Specifically to Cambridge many of the people who need to go there are not within bike distance, and to me Cambridge has been friendly to people walking around for a long time so that was never a thing. I can't speak to biking as for me a bike would have not really helped the situation, so putting more squeeze on the limited parking arrangements would affect retail businesses. There's quite a bit of retail that only makes sense to have in Cambridge because of proximity to all of the universities.

I feel like these bike-centric arguments do well in very dense cities like NYC but don't translate as well to places like Boston where there's just as much reason to go into Boston as there is to go out of Boston.
"Conspiracy theory" is not a synonym for "crazy". And his comment was the answer to your question.
> There is nothing unusual at all about suspects going into hiding. This is everyday stuff for prosecutions, and the normal thing to do is to indict and keep it sealed, not wait years to indict for funsies.

Are there other examples of suspects being granted asylum by a foreign government? It seems to me like that wouldn't be very likely in a vast majority of cases. It seems just as reasonable that DOJ needed to wait until Ecuador had dropped asylum and given the green light.

It seems like a stretch to say that the timing alone proves this is politically motivated when there were extenuating circumstances preventing the indictment. If you think the political landscape or future charges have a possibility of swaying Ecuador into discontinuing their grant of asylum then this seems like a pretty reasonable course of events.

I don't disagree with you, but...

Follow the money. If there was sufficient profit in what you describe, it would be happening. Since it's clearly not then it has to be done by Government. That means actual people lobbying their local and state government for change.

And on top of that, it has to be marketed properly. Where I live there's essentially no taxi/Uber/Lyft service (see my comment above about waiting 4 hours for a taxi), but the County has an on-demand bus service that you can call and they'll pick you up at your home. However, since I've never had to take it, the few times I needed a taxi (e.g., to go pick up my car from the shop), I never even remembered that it exists!
I'm assuming they're trying to load balance the ticketing. I got my eticket a few days ago, booked to fly to Singapore next month. If you haven't gotten yours yet, give a few more days, then call support.

For the record, showing an ID would __not__ help with the sort of absentee ballot shenanigans that took place in NC9 (which was election fraud not voter fraud). If anything, it doesn't do anything at all - it's elections security theater.

> We need to slow down auto-traffic and encourage more non-vehicular use of the roads, while making those roads safer for pedestrians, cyclists, scooter riders, skate boarders, etc.

Is that the most efficient use of the roads? Especially in a place like Boston, where most people in the metro area don’t live in (and can’t afford to live in) the city itself. At a certain point doesn’t creating a preference for pedestrians and cyclists actually end up being a preference for wealthier people who can afford to live downtown, versus those who need to access the city but can’t live within walking or biking distance? (Note that bicyclists and skateboarders also slow down busses, which are what lower income people use to get around.)
What about more men?

And what was preventing all of those groups you mentioned from cycling to begin with?

One side of this debate is inherently violent. People are dying from easily preventable diseases.

It's dangerous to call someone having a natural biological reaction to a pathogen, "violent." That label should be reserved for people taking intentional physical action to do other people harm. Anti-vaxxers simply don't fit that category. One can argue that they are being irresponsible. Vaccines, viruses, and diseases are all tangible and physical. It's entirely reasonable to make laws and regulations around those things.

If we start saying that people having ideas is "violent," then we are creating "thoughtcrime" and opening the door to incredible levels of tyranny.

Anti-vaccination beliefs are already winning by despicable means because those with virtuous means choose to do nothing.

As far as I can tell, anti-vax beliefs are thoroughly discredited.

That's an interesting theory. I think I've seen some studies that show the opposite:

85% increase in cycling with better infrastructure: https://www.cyclinguk.org/blog/tomguha/85-increase-cycling-a...

This shows a direct correlation between lower risk and increased cycling: https://nacto.org/2016/07/20/high-quality-bike-facilities-in...

I especially like this quote: "A virtuous cycle is clear: With more infrastructure come more riders. Perhaps counterintuitively, with more infrastructure and more riders, safety improves. And the more bicycles there are traversing a city, the more it reaps numerous returns on investment, including the health benefits of cleaner air and greater physical activity." from https://www.drawdown.org/solutions/buildings-and-cities/bike...

I don't think most people who are biking while commuting are doing it purely for the thrill, but that is a plus, no doubt.
The common failure mode would be e.g. freezing, perhaps in identical positions, while on the ground before takeoff. You can't easily detect it before takeoff because the sensor requires airflow.
KB navigation works. The response is delayed, probably because part of the "page" were still loading.

Terrible UI, IMO. No signage about how to navigate, except for "Click to Proceed" on the "main" screen.

Why not just create a PowerPoint/Google Slides and be done with it? Probably would have saved the poor design team a ton of time and had the exact same impact.
A third of fatal accidents involve drunk drivers.

I find it interesting that the apparent objective is to make driving safer, but apparently the powers that be have decided that it is easier to make cars that drive themselves than to convince people not to drive while drunk.
> It seems to me that self-driving cars can't be just as safe as the status quo, but have to be far far better. It's an unreasonable need, but human nature.

They need to be safer than me, not the average driver. I suspect the lower 50% of drivers cause > 50% of the collisions.
The other part of Boeings fix is to prevent MCAS from being reactivated repeatedly. If I remember correctly they are not allowing it to reactivate until the AoA returns to normal.

I'm hopeful that they have analysed what happens if the AoA returns more or less random data.
You have to strive to separate bikes from traffic because no matter how much bike culture you have baked into your laws and society, it only takes one careless driver of a 3000lb hunk of steel to lay you out at 25mph. Doesn't matter if you do everything right as a cyclist, you can't change the fact that you are a flabby soft bag of water and a car is 20x your weight.
Scenic route is definitely enjoyed especially in todays society. Even better if you are a little bit fucked up on drugs and traveling safely (train, passenger etc).

I think the Chinese operations are going to source batteries in China. Not sure if that means battery production in gigafactory 3 or not, but it should mean lithium ion production should continue to expand. Not to mention all the new entrants into the EV market. Lithium ion battery production should continue to increase and bring prices down. I'm hoping we see a $25,000 BEV with 200+ Mile range in the next 5 years.

The very notion of “you and me” is an appeal to realism: without an external world, there is only me — “you” become a figment of my imagination.

Realism explains why my paper a) arrives while I’m asleep and b) sometimes surprises me with the content or by not arriving.

I’ve yet to see a non-realist explanation of my paper that doesn’t seem deeply more convoluted than “someone like me, but not me dropped it off independent of my awareness”.

I’m not saying you can’t make a model out of that, but you quickly arrive at the equivalent of epicycles to explain even basic things like my newspaper arriving (or not).

Also, “quantum indeterminacy” is an assumption, not a proven fact supported by evidence. That’s the exact thing under discussion now: it’s justification as an interpretative assumption.

Does anyone know the details of these "election systems"?

> Russian cyber actors in the summer of 2016 conducted online research and reconnaissance to identify vulnerable databases, usernames, and passwords in webpages of a broader number of state and local websites than previously identified

This makes it sound like just election-related state websites.

For me, the term "Election infrastructure" sounds like it would include voting machines, voter registries, vote counts, etc.

We have interesting ways and subtext when we talk about people that show our biases. Actually beyond that the entire article isn't anything about asking Katie questions or how she came about her algorithm. It's more about her fast rising popularity. It's an article that says a woman did something without saying that. I'm not judging if that's offensive or merely a reflection on how we relay news given our society.

Even if overall self-driving cars are safer, they won't feel safer to the individual if the situations in which it will kill them are situations they could avoid if they were driving themselves.

The self-driving car might be able to avoid that t-bone situation more often than the driver can, but if the death scenario for the self-driving car is it gets confused and drives into a river, that will feel unacceptable to a human because it seems so simple to avoid to them.

Most people aren't concerned how many other people survive, but are generally primarily interested in their own survival over population-level statistics.
48 hours!? There's no excuse for a transfer not being subsecond in 2019. Introducing a 48 hours delay to knowing if someone has actually paid you or not when they said they have... adds a ton of pain to running a business.

No it doesn't. The argument speaks for itself. If I murder someone in cold blood, then get up the next morning and call a press conference saying "Murder is wrong! We need to put a stop to murder!" no one would chime in and say "No way, murder is perfectly fine, you just did it last night!"

Call the news orgs out for doing the same reprehensible activity, yes. But let's judge the arguments about which activities are reprehensible on their own merits.
There are plenty of people obsessed with left-leaning media like MSNBC that ruin relationships, because the other person doesn't have the same political beliefs.

From the people I know, more right-leaning people are still willing to have relationships with more left-leaning people. With current media characterization of all Trump-supporters as racist, sub-human, monsters, the converse isn't really true. Everyone wants an 'open and honest' discussion, until you hear something that offends you. Then you want that person fired or ostracized from society.

In many workplaces, you have to hide the fact that you support the current president of the United States, because of blatant bigotry...from the group that claims to be the most accepting. Pretty ironic, if you ask me.
> Noncitizens undeniably have a wide range of rights under the Constitution. Indeed, within the borders of the United States, they have most of the same rights as citizens do, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent bans most state laws discriminating against noncitizens.

"Yours" and "not yours" is a really primitive way to look at the problem. Every camera that you have passed in front of has your image, and we more or less accept that if it's in a public place that's OK. But that doesn't mean someone can take that image and put it in a national television campaign for their product. There are shades of ownership.
> I cycle somewhere between 20 and 35 km/hour; that's faster than scooters and most electric bikes.

This makes no sense. You can pedal an electric bike at least as fast if not faster than a regular bike.

Some e-bikes are speed limited to cut out the assist at a certain speed, but it doesn't mean it also removes your ability to pedal hard and achieve the same speed.
Atlanta is a great example of where it makes no sense to have bike lines. I lived in Atlanta for eight years. It’s a commuter city. The only people biking are relatively privileged yuppies living in the fancy new apartments and condos that have sprung up recently. Why spend public money, and inconvenience drivers in the process, for their sake?

If we’re going to use up a lane, let’s do it in a socially responsible way and make it a dedicated bus lane, which is what most people in need in Atlanta use to get around.
This is why self-driving cars will feel more dangerous, even if statistically they are safer. I wouldn't much feel better if in the moments before my car drives into concrete barrier, after having determined impact is inevitable, it informs me that while it might have failed me and I will die, that statistically it has saved 10 other theoretical people.
I'm wondering now if MCAS should be an active system. Perhaps it should instead just warn the pilots that it thinks a stall is imminent instead, like when you get the stick shaking.

Efficiency is critical for the success of any electric car, and will continue to be for a long time. The reason being that batteries are only just beyond the cusp of being viable for cars in terms of cost, weight and volume.

Most established carmakers haven't yet realized (in terms of adapting their engineering) that this, combined with the very high conversion efficiency of electric motors, means that electric cars get much greater advantages from efficiency improvements than ICE cars do. Single-digit improvements to efficiency in motors, inverters/power electronics and aerodynamics/roll resistance translate almost directly to single-digit improvements in range. And hence also allow smaller batteries, cheaper construction, lighter construction, which again allows a smaller battery.

You can see this very clearly in Audi and Jaguar's models, that have significantly lower range than Tesla's cars for each kWh of battery capacity.
In the article this thread is about.
Seems unlikely to me. The barrier to entry for startups selling to the government is so high because of the regulations to prevent corruption force such a long sales cycle.

Another thing that surprised me when it came to selling to the government is that it seemed like most employees had no idea how to purchase something, even if they had budget and authority.

Sounds like the cyclist properly judged the danger for himself, and his judgement was correct, because he's still alive.

> It seems to me that self-driving cars can't be just as safe as the status quo, but have to be far far better.

They probably, for acceptance, have to be consistently as safe in like circumstances, they can't just be as safe on average. Which, if there are circumstances in which they are much safer, also means they end up needing to be much safer on balance, but it's not really the on-balance comparison that drives that.
I personally am getting a tonne of value out of my Apple products.

My MacBook Pro is generally a total joy to use for work (development). Both the software and hardware are fantastic.

My iPhone goes everywhere with me, and does more than I could ever have dreamed it would when I was younger.

Objectively, there are more powerful, affordable pieces of hardware you can buy, but I really appreciate the small touches and attention to detail that are typical of Apple products.

I also appreciate that I'm in a very privileged position to be able to use Apple stuff. It does cost a lot, and if you're on a budget the prices can definitely feel frustrating.
Yes, please do this!
