Especially in a new market where the customers first need to be educated. Most of the people still don't know what is coworking. For digital nomads coworking spaces is also a social place where they can fit into a local culture, find friends, get advice etc. But all this requires trust, and branding plays an important part in building trust.
How to Hire an App Developer for Your Project
Mathematicians Discover the Perfect Way to Multiply
My guess is that it got a lot of upvotes quickly because it's on a topic people care about (bike lanes), has a clear headline and comes from a trusted source (citylab).

The upvote/time ratio is what propels it to the top of the front page.
When has that complicated anything? Being a dual citizen is a huge benefit everywhere on Earth. For anyone with enough resources and time I'd encourage collecting citizenships like they were Pokemon.
In SF, striped bike lanes are frequently painted next to parallel parking. The likelihood of getting a door prize makes riding in those lanes far more dangerous than riding in the car lane.

Apropos of nothing, but the dutch reach should really be taught in every driver's ed class.

"My position is that this idea of a multiethnic society is a disaster. That's what we've got in Central Europe, and in Central Africa. A multiethnic society is insanity. I think we should restrict immigration for that reason."

— Interview with The Social Contract, 1997
I disagree. The article acknowledged that point and criticized the idea itself. It still talked about the man first because this is essential to understand the context and the ideology behind the idea. The tragedy of the commons leads very quickly to some elitism and hatred of the masses and the other, and that is easy to understand once you know the origin of the concept.

On the other hand those comments are pretty typical for HN, where people like to criticize journalists and think they would do so much better about basically everything.
> "Local law now requires the city to erect vertical barriers between cyclists and cars on any roadway that’s rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured"

I'm all for better bike lanes, but it seems kind of extreme to require this for all new roads [0]. I used to live in Cambridge and rode my bike quite a bit. I never felt like I needed a dedicated lane on every side street, just on the main drags (where some of the new protected bike lanes were amazing to have).

[0] Actual ordinance available at http://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID.... I could be misinterpreting the language, and it seems they will allow for some very limited exceptions, but the default seems to be that a typical side street would have a dedicated bike lane.

EDIT: after reading the actual ordinance again (and as a comment below pointed out), it seems that this only applies to streets that are rebuilt or improved and are part of the city's plan for streets that should include bike paths. In other words, most random side streets wouldn't get bike paths.
Replace Chicago with nearly every city.

It’s a death wish.
> they’re doing expected work to anyone that has any idea how this all works

For sure. But lots of people dont't know how this stuff works and should not be expected too.

I wonder how many average consumers of Alexa products would feel differently about their purchase if it said on the box "some people at amazon are likely to listen to what you say". Sure, everyone agrees to the terms of use, but that doesn't seem to count for much in the way of "informed consent" these days. Maybe to the letter, but not the spirit.
I'm all here for better lifting apps, but I have lots of questions.

How do you qualify the "trainers," that your algorithm outperformed? Most basic strength and conditioning books will outperform the average chain gym trainer.

How many of your the trainers in your sample size were Strength and Conditioning Coaches at reputable performance gyms? Would any qualify under the following statement from the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Website:

"The proper education consists of an undergraduate degree in an exercise science-related field. Such a degree is imperative because it forms the foundation of knowledge that underpins the profession. An exercise science-related degree affords the capability to practice an evidence-based approach to strength and conditioning."

What are your results for longer than 60 days? Do you continue to outperform human trainers at the 1 yr and 5 yr marks? For those that are uninitiated, 60 days is a incredibly short time in the world of Strength and Conditioning. Doing almost anything differently that your normal routine, consistently, over 3 months will yield positive results before plateaus set in.

How are you quantifying your results?

Are you raising the 1 rep maxes of your athletes 1-2x than more than Human Trainer?
Their 10 rep max?
Their max broad jump?
Their 40 yard dash?
Their 1 mile time?
Their muscle mass?
Lowering their Body fat percentage?

I want this to work. I crave a simple logging app that will allow me to enter a variety of exercises and an AI that would help with programming would be huge. I would be willing to you pay your subscription of $8 a month if it were true.
I think they decided that it was infeasible to continue using my system without fully knowing how it all worked. I intentionally made parts of it opaque (ie hidden in DLLs) until my contract was resolved. This is part of the reason why they let me go. I insisted that they purchase the rights to those opaque code blocks as part of my contract since they were in fact developed by me for a different project long before I joined the company. (It was a proprietary web server written in c++ designed for high-performance web services and since it was 1 of a kind it had a degree of security through obscurity and therefore I didn't want to release the code for free)
I guess a part of me knew things weren't right but I ignored the signs because I loved what I was doing and I was good at it.

Oh, also they tried to claim that they didn't withhold any taxes by not giving me a W2. So now I can't e-file my taxes but they mistakenly reported my income to the department of employment back in Q2 so I'm sure the IRS will be calling them.
Marbles aren't a good analogy because they have equal marginal utility.

Let's replace marbles with hamburgers. You and your buddy Steve lay out your food for the day. You have 2 hamburgers, exactly enough to meet your daily caloric needs. Your buddy Steve has approximately 10 hamburgers. Dramatically more hamburgers than he needs to live. More than he could eat if he tried.

Now, we need 1 hamburger for the common good. If you take that one hamburger from the guy with 2, he's hungry, and if you keep doing it, he may die. Steve, on the other hand, can't eat all his hamburgers one way or the other, so taking one from him makes much less of a difference.

Now how does that change the equation? It's fair for Steve to donate 0.8 burgers and you to donate 0.2 -- this represents fair distribution on a marginal value basis. So yes, 10:2 is completely fair. In fact, 10:0 is fair if I'm making millions and someone else is making a handful of thousands per year.

I'm personally in one of the top tax brackets and I think it should be higher. We already pay 50%-ish marginally in California, so moving up to AOC's 70% isn't really a big difference. I should be paying more, because we live in a community and I want that community to be nice. I don't want to live in a world where I have nice things and walk by people with nothing, on the ground, doing heroin like I do on my way to work every morning here in SF. All because it's not "fair" to take a burger from me, when I have more burgers than I know what to do with.

Also, how big is the improvement? If it's only 1-10% better than doing a random program, then perhaps it's not really worth the trouble. However, if it's 25+ percent more effective, then we're talking.

I don't see it as a wrong or right, more so a matter of informing the public. Everyone suspects that those devices are listening to them but it's usually brushed off as tin-foil hat stuff. Stories like this are just making people aware of the reality of these technologies. You decide if it's acceptable or not.
The smart solution would've been for Amazon to make it an opt-in program and offer people a dollar credit for some servic they'll never use in exchange for signing up. Amazon would've had millions of users consenting to any amount of data collection and be free and clear in the press.
How does an obviously ad hominem attack get into Scientific American, of all places?

Also, I would urge you to weigh SPLC's hit list with a grain of salt. SPLC does great work, but its hit list is poorly researched and ignorant. SPLC has repeatedly crossed the line from calling out hate, into trying to impose the views of liberal Americans (and overwhelmingly white ones at that--SPLC's board has just one person of color) onto people of color criticizing the parts of the world they themselves come from.

The policies also target legal immigrants. It is legal to come to the US seeking asylum from the wars in your home country, but the president spins this as people crossing the border illegally because they aren't going through the immigration process (which isn't open to them).
I am fine with this, if the purpose is solely for product development. I have a problem with the data not being anonymous and their mocking some of the clips in a shared internal forum. The data should be anonymized and management should stop the mocking of clips on internal forums.

> Mathematics is just a language

Perhaps, for some definitions of the word 'language,' but by and large this is a gross misconception propagated by (theoretical) physicists and other heavy users of more or less abstract mathematics. (In contrast with those who use mathematics to perform computations, such as engineers; unfortunately, this has also been happening within mathematics itself in regards to the relationship between its different branches.)
Consistency trumps all! (according to the data)

If Assange gets extradited on a charge that the previous administration wouldn't push but the administration his organization assisted in getting elected is willing to (because they don't care about such a paltry thing as "endangering the protections provided to freedom of the press by the US Constitution"), it will be the highest of ironies.
Exactly. My parents just paid for my sister to go and be a host at Camp America, with the explicit intention of it looking good on her CV. I think it's good she's doing it, and for them it's not a lot of money (as it's a paid role, just not paid enough), but it's not something that everyone can afford to do.

There has been a lot of criticism of unpaid internships for the same thing, notably in journalism in the UK. This is an industry entirely driven by unpaid internships, or jobs that pay well below what it costs to attend them in central London. As a result, journalism in the UK is a pretty middle-class dominated industry, which itself helps to perpetuate the cycle of low social mobility.

I think what the plaintiff is trying to say is that the code sent to your browser is thier property, and "editing" the
code is a use of protected property,
to create a derivative product.

I personally dont see this as actual,
my impression is when using ad blockers the code pointing to ads is either ignored,
or not allowed to load into the browser.

If we have a legal requirement to accept every line of code sent then, that makes blackhat and malware deployment, quite trivial.
I actually would be concerned that there would be a big uptick in evil payloads on "weaponized" ads if ad blockers were gone.
Progressive enhancement : make your website work with no javascript and no CSS trick (CSS is not for behavior). Then use JS to add dynamic behavior on the client.

The voting mechanism here is a bit opaque. I think it also considers trends. So a an article with 60 votes in a short time period will probably climb higher than an article with 800 votes but slow increase.

Activity on the submission (views and comments) probably also has an influence.
Your proposed better pattern to follow when one needs a finally block in C++ is...?
There is no evidence that there are any charges related to Russia. In theory it is long standing legal theory that publishing "stolen" docs is legal. Now I suspect in people's hatred for Assange they will overlook the fact that if this new legal theory is allowed to stand that the first amendment is effectively destroyed. The government will be able to label something secret and getting access to the secret is now a crime. Free to publish but not free to receive information. Catch 22.

I disagree that it is conceptually possible for most consumers to have an adequate understanding of future implications of this technology such that they can possibly give informed consent for this type of data capture.

There are just too many ways it can eventually be used maliciously, so much so that we can’t even contemplate or imagine them ahead of time. In that case, it should be illegal for a company to capture the consumer-generated private data, much the same as age of consent laws... even if a minor appears to have a self-aware and complete understanding of something they are consenting to, it is just legally defined to be impossible for the minor to actually be capable of granting consent.

The same should be true for collecting user behavior and non-aggregated user activity data, across the board. “Consenting” to it, whether explicitly or through site usage terms or EULAs, is just not a logically possible thing.
The wikipedia page for Markov chains is really one of the best wikipedia pages I've ever seen for a technical topic.

Even for a single exercise, there are a lot of different variables: weight, number of sets, number of reps, recovery time between sets, recovery time between workouts, etc. Were all of these variables adjusted and taken into account or were some of them held constant?
I am not really surprised as such but I am worried that my worst suspicions seem to always come true. If that trend continues then our future will be very bleak and very suppressive.
There aren't scooter companies here in NYC but there's plenty of people that own them and ride around on them. It seems easier to deal with than bikes, since you can just take them inside with you at your destination. I use my own bike for my commute but then Citibike for any other trip, as I don't want to worry about my bike being parked outside. You wouldn't have that problem with a scooter.
Ah, that is a great point. Of course you know I meant that the rule of not apostrophizing its is backwards from the more common case of personal pronouns. Okay, so the possessive pronouns don’t use apostrophes and personal pronouns do. And its and whose are possessive pronouns, or possessive determiners. Is that the whole apostrophe rule? Are there any other cases or exceptions for possession? Do all indefinite pronouns use apostrophes, e.g., it’s anybody’s guess?

The entire state of MA is highly unwelcoming to anything with two wheels and a motor that is less than a motorcycle (and even then it kinda sucks for them too). You say "scooter" or "moped" and suburban soccer moms and uptight politicians get images of New Dehli in their heads and that's too low class for MA so any organized attempt at doing that gets blocked by the power of arbitrary enforcement.

As another commenters mentioned they were there briefly before the .gov told them to get lost. The other thing about MA is that it's highly totalitarian. The government is mostly benign and the single party nature of the state means it doesn't cause too much discontent but trying to pull an Uber and provide a service that has popular support before the regulators can kick you out doesn't really work in MA because the people have little choice in the manner, the .gov can just say "this isn't good for you" and that's the end of it.

I used to bike every morning from my house on Morrison Ave in Somerville to Riverside Boat Club, then from RBC to Central Square. I would then bike the reverse in the evenings.

Rides could be treacherous because the tension between drivers and cyclists when they share the road. There is a hard division established for commuting by foot (sidewalks) and drivers (roads), but none for cyclists. Both cyclists and drivers feel entitled to roads, but there are few parameters around how they interoperate with one another.

I think designating a division for cyclists is a great idea in a city with a high volume of cyclists.

Unfortunately, Microsoft will not likely reenter this arena or support phones with Windows in any official capacity, the current direction from Satya appears to be to retreat from every competitive market and cede all standards to El Goog. Microsoft promotes Android, is building a browser based on Chromium, and is abandoning Cortana. Best hope for this would be a third party building an ultraportable themselves and writing their own phone support.
I've wondered the same. I've seen very short lived and ... really questionable articles that rise to the top with no comments very fast.

Highlights, to me:

- do not trust localStorage

- quote: The most challenging pattern in our dataset consists of scenarios in which applications use the persistence mechanisms to deliberately store HTML or JavaScript code, e.g., for client-side caching purposes. In this setting, the attacker is able to completely overwrite the contents of the corresponding storage entry with their own code. We could identify in several cases these flaws are actually introduced by third-party libraries, among them CloudFlare and Criteo.

Slightly more direct answer than the others...
If you look at the map, most of Cambridge is as close to downtown/historic Boston as much of Boston itself.

Also, outside the immediate Boston-area, MIT and Harvard are usually thought of as being in Boston. But, they're actually in Cambridge.

For most people, Cambridge is "the side of Boston to the north of the Charles River" - for many, it's just a neighborhood in Boston (no offense meant to any Cambridge natives).

Basically what the article is getting at, is that climate change is not really a tragedy of the commons, because we already had/have institutions meant to regulate the commons and avoid the tragedy.
The real tragedy is that these institutions were corrupted and rendered ineffective.
I tried to build a VC backed startup that sold a SaaS product to state and federal governments. The procurement process for the government is so horrible and broken that it blew me away. From first conversation to signed contract will take 2 years minimum. It's filled with legal challenges, back room deals, inefficiencies, a ridiculous RFP process. You run out of money before you even get your first contract signed.

It was so strange to me to sit in meetings and talk about how we could make them so much more efficient and they would talk about having the problem solved in 5 or 10 year timelines. Having spent most of my career at Microsoft and Netflix where a year feels like an eternity, it's just a completely different world.
well when obama was president assange was hiding in the embassy so I think attributing much significance to fact the obama administration did not issue this indictment is a bit tenuous.
Are you referring to the president's comments about MS-13 that have been widely and happily taken out of context? Or the president's comments on the DHS stats for criminals illegally crossing the border, also widely and happily taken out of context?
