> Busses and subways have no "first class" or "business class" section.

It depends. New York City has "express buses" that are basically long-distance buses repurposed for commuting. You pay an additional fare and are more comfortable. Commuter trains are of course more comfortable than subway trains. (This is why I usually fly out of JFK. Taking LIRR to the airport is much nicer than taking the bus to LGA.)

Japan's rail systems have higher-tier options on some route. JR has "home liners" that are long-distance passenger trains basically repurposed for commuters (actually very similar to the default commuter train in the US, whereas the normal commuter trains are very similar to metros). Tobu has the "TJ Liner" which is similar. The demand does exist.

I think the reality is that public transportation is too popular to reduce capacity by having more seating. Everyone in NYC would pay for a more comfortable subway, but there wouldn't be enough trains to carry them all. The completely-packed-at-rush-hour is a byproduct of the fact that cars just aren't faster in NYC, so you might as well pay $2.50 to get home faster but in less comfort. (I've looked into it. There were many times when I was running late and thought, "maybe I'll just take an Uber to work today". But the delayed subway would take 20 minutes and the private car would take 30 because of traffic. It only made a difference in the middle of the night when the subway was running on 30 minute headways and there was no traffic. Even then, still close to 20 minutes to drive. The subway is just that efficient, despite everyone's complaints.)
During the Obama administration, Secretary of State Clinton proposed assassinating Assange with a drone strike. "Can't we just drone this guy?" Given that the Secretary was about to become the most powerful person in the world, Assange would obviously have been highly motivated by self-defense and preservation alone to do whatever he could to thwart the election of someone who has actually called for him to be assassinated and had the means, motive and opportunity to follow through with that threat.

I feel like the folks running with no javascript already made their call, and that's their call.

If you're developing a web app that "does a lot" (I'm just going to say that rather than get into individual things) It's pretty hard to do without javascript. But if it's a site just serving up text and pics, yeah you don't "need" it.
Realize some pilots lurk here...was the angle of attack sensor ever associated with an automatic system prior to MCAS?

Seems like previous errors would have been less impactful due to human observation and synthesis with other instruments, window observation, etc.

If so, it shows how GIGO works in automatic systems...this should have been scrutinized as AOA sensor was not above the 1:1,000,000 threshold for single-input systems w/o failover.

But the rape allegations were manufactured, right? There was no particular reason to manufacture them in Sweden just because that was the country Assange was in immediately before he went to the UK.

Extraordinary rendition would be pretty much impossible once he was in Police custody in Sweden anyway, so I don't know why you keep referring to it.

Hey sorry to seem misleading — that isn't my intention.

I created an algorithm that trains you based on how top performers on Lift Log train themselves.

Top performers = highest percent change in total volume lifted from day 1. Sure, 60 days isn't a ton of data, but it is enough to show a difference.

Most people don't train properly and don't increase the difficulty of their exercises between workouts — following FitnessAI's algorithm (although it is incredibly naive) does indeed result in the performance boosts claimed. Try it out!

Regarding comparing to trainers — these are real trainers. I identified many trainers using lift log (on their clients phone) to keep track of training sessions.

I'm curious if I delete (I mean real delete, not disabling) my FB account, do they keep it as a ghost profile of me i.e. Facebook still knows that I exist as a person in the world? I've been thinking about just getting rid of it, not that I use it a lot, but still... One less thing to worry about and less clutter in my life.

The downside to this is that FB is my only channel of communication with some people, but then again if they truly want to contact me they can find a way to do so, although that's going to increase their inconvenience and they might decide against contacting me at all haha.

> “driver killed instantly when self driving car automatically steered into a wall without warning,”

Interesting example. A justifiable fear people have of self-driving cars is them crashing in scenarios where no (minimally competent, not ass-blasted drunk) human would reasonably crash, like randomly steering into a wall.

I think if self-driving cars were seen to crash in scenarios where a human could have made a similar mistake, their reputation would be better.

Not to say the media reporting of these incidents would be in any way accurate or fair.

My response was in relation to a VC funded startup business, that is very different from the "small business" segment you're referring to.

There are loads of "small business" entities out there who get government business merely by being in existence and meeting the sizing requirements.

I however wouldn't quit my job to start one of these because these are really just people grazing on the federal acquisition process and provide in most cases little to no value, it is not much money either.

I know this because I have experience with working on government projects where you can easily have 20+ contractors involved and it is not clear what their roles or input are to the project.

How to Pursue Deep Work?
You've misunderstood me slightly. You're absolutely right about the loc metric -- seems reasonable to me that she'd design the/some algos and let others do boiler plate and implementation of [other] algo's. That's why I emphasised "appears", as in "someone naively approaches the subject, sees that and thinks 'her contribution was really small'".

I don't think there is a "secret feminist agenda" as such, but news outlets do over-egg the situation to try and create "women heroes of science". The way it's done appears to be sexist in an attempt at, so-called, positive discrimination; rather than being equalist.

You seem to consider my analysis to be abjectly errant, I would appreciate hearing why?

Okay hold on... Did you take the time to actually read any of the links I posted? Or any of what I wrote? Did you read the quote I shared from the last link? It gave a compelling reason for doing alkalizing breath exercises... Chronically or acutely disrupted respiration from CNS depression related to trauma or anything. This is quite a common kind of situation and the article is saying "people can have acidosis because they aren't breathing well."

In that case, according to science and folks traditions alike it's necessary for them to retrain their habits of breath to be more oxygenizing.

And there's a spectrum here. You can do alkalizing breath exercises without inducing tetany. I mentioned the tetany exercise because you were asking me to hook up a pH meter to my bloodstream to "objectively prove" that voluntarily changing respiration can lead to significant pH shifts in the blood. I've shared links to non-controversial scientific articles and book exerpts, including peer reviewed ones, corroborating this.

Involuntary, chronic shallow breathing or hyperventilation are respectively dangerous because they can cause acidosis or alkalosis that an individual is unable to recover from without some intervention.

Just because there also happen to be numerous folk traditions around this, notably pranayama, doesn't nullify the objective, scientific basis for what I'm talking about!

If you'd genuinely like to understand my perspective from a scientific point of view, check out this peer reviewer article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17432979.2011.57...
Singapore is literally the most expensive city in the world (tied for #1 with Paris and Hong Kong) and average developer salaries are around 50k.

There is a real danger that someone else comes up with a solution that is enough better than humans that governments outright ban anything else. This risk has a huge downside.

Car companies need to hedge this risk. There is evidence that self driving cars can work (they already do in some areas), so the amount of effort worth putting in his pretty high.
Having worked at charter schools... I can tell you that each state runs their charter program a little differently, but generally teachers at charter schools are not union represented.
Each school charter is issued independently of any others and the school design can vary dramatically from one charter to the next, which is actually the point. Some charter schools have long days. Some go year round. Some focus on at-risk youth. Some focus on alternative pedagogy... etc, etc.
Just don't think of it as something you'll ever want to restore unless the building burns down and you've lost everything.

Glaciers restore costs had a lot of fees in my one experience. We could have bought several RAID units for the price of a fast restore. If you asked for it back over a long period of time, the price dropped dramatically.
You won't find a cyclist who opposes dedicated, protected lanes that are separate from roads and sidewalks.

It is almost always the car drivers who don't want to sacrifice the single lane required to make a two way, protected bike lane. Case in point, Peachtree St in Atlanta ~3 years ago.

This is massive and a good sign for their peer startups. Thanks for sharing!
What this means is the rich get new roads, the poor don't. The cost of adding these lanes will be enormous, especially in tight areas where you may need to seize property or realign streets. Nobody will advocate for the poor areas to ever be redeveloped at these cost levels.

The cycle continues.
I think it's possible that the author doesn't even know this. Does BuzzFeed have an interface where a user can go to see this information?

Virtually none of the security of the Internet depends on the security of the DNS; not depending on DNS for security has been an explicit design goal of Internet cryptography since the mid-1990s, which is, for instance, why IPSEC and DNSSEC evolved separately (DNSSEC was a DoD project spearheaded by TIS).
Very significant portions of the trip were between large cities. If we had had to zig-zag back and forth between cities with movie theaters or shopping malls that had charges, it would have added a significant number of hours to the trip.

Even with an ICE, there was a (small) amount of range anxiety, in that some areas had 30-45 miles between exits with gas stations near by. Get caught up in a podcast or some good music, and if you're not paying attention, it's not impossible to run out of gas out there.

Sure, but this is a problem that goes far beyond "tech". There is no technical solution, no killer app which will address it.

Surveillance capitalism and its consequences require a multidisciplinary approach that involves non-tech people in the most critical way.

I think dismissing non-tech people as effectively clueless (as the parent comment does) is the wrong approach.

We continue to wage war on silence. The other day I was far the heck out there on a trail and the only things I could hear were squirrels birds and a few other things. My soul was at peace.

> "I hope you get hit!"

This is one thing I will never be able to wrap my head around - why would a human being say something like this to a fellow human?

In my experience this comment brings together a few things:

1. Many drivers just have no respect for "Share the Road" and specifically no respect for cyclists

2. This type of "speak your mind" attitude is very New England and specifically Boston (and suburbs).

3. Just speaks to the need to accelerate bike access and harmonize/integrate more with infrastructure.

This news is a good step forward...
The cost of things should indeed be considered. Depending on region, tax money subsidizes every mile driven (one well done source here https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/10/driving... but there are many, many others). A switch to cycling amounts to a much lower subsidy per mile, so if we want to talk costs then the argument for cycling infrastructure becomes even stronger.
I lived in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville/JP/Brighton etc etc for nearly a decade from mid 90's to early 2000's, half of it as a bike messenger and lived all you describe daily, 365. Hundreds of accounts in that time that do not paint a very warm picture of American "city" living during this era. For every stupid thing someone has done to or near me in a car I have seen an equally shocking occurrence on a bike. Maybe not daily but hooo boy, people are always stupid traveling in any mode of transportation. I don't think anything will change re: bike barriers unless the auto is completely removed from the picture like in various EU cities. EVEN THEN, people will still people on bikes. Count on it...

I'm Korean and it I am personally worried the health of Korean tech companies.

Korea claimed to be the first country to start 5G but who wanted 5G so fast? The Korean government wanted it. The government set the goal to become the first, then pushed (I would say "ordered") the all three mobile operators to launch 5G, and the three operators launched it at the same time first in the world. In other words, the government artificially made the demands for 5G base stations only for Samsung.

Samsung has grown in this way. It is now the one of the well-kwon companies in the world and this single company earns around 15% of Gross Domestic Product of Korea. Samsung is big enough and can service without being fed by the government. I doubt the government-driven tech development would work forever.

You know what, there is no IPv6 available in Korea yet. Something doesn't sound right to me.
This is Cambridge, MA.. it is incredibly hard to go most places in Cambridge and ever find a parking space on the side of the street.

If you are not a resident the majority of non-metered parking is not legal for you to park in.

The metered parking has strict maximum time limits and they enforce parking aggressively. It can be very hard to find a parking space at all.

If you need to travel in for business/pleasure in a car you basically are forced to either go to a subway/train station with a parking lot and then park there and take the subway/train/bus into Cambridge, or you will need to go in and have a parking garage ($$) to park at, and then walk a long way.

It is seriously stressful to use a car in Cambridge and Somerville.

It's already so dense & hard to use cars that the retail businesses don't really have anything they can complain about. By locating their business their they already decided to be hostile to customers who want to use a car.
