Not really viable for most people though is it? And "it's fine in the Netherlands so we don't need to bother here" isn't a great attitude either.
That's absolutely not true.

Sometimes some of my information is gathered without my consent or even without any warning, such as when I use a website with a FB tracker, or when third parties upload some of my personal information to Facebook.

The subject was the complaints of drivers about losing on-Street parking to a bike lane.

> to compel people to work ...

I'm not aware of any "far-left" party or politician in the US or Europe who says it's justified to compel anyone to work.

Taxing income or redistributing wealth does not compel anyone to work.

Indeed, it's right-libertarian policies that tend to transfer wealth from those at the bottom of the pyramid who work to those at the top of the pyramid who do not work.
I think it's pretty safe to assume that he's the one benefitting the most from the lack of fact checking.

Not safe at all. (Covington Kids, for one thing.) The groupthink among the left-leaning media, particularly the news, is pretty egregious. The degree to which they communicate with each other using electronic networks and create their thought bubbles is well documented at this point. If you "follow the money," to figure out who benefits, then it turns out, it's Far Left activists who benefit by getting to push their agenda and set the narratives. This even results in monetary benefit through fundraising.

> If the solution is flawed even a little bit, people will die. That will give self-driving cars a bad reputation and people will be unwilling to ride in them.

There is lots of debate on every autonomous car story, including this one, about "is as good as humans good enough", but that's a technical threshold. The real blocker (from my view) currently is and will be liability for "negligence."

If I'm driving and fiddling with the radio and as a result blow a light and kill someone, at most you can turn out my shallow pockets in civil court. The automaker has no liability.

But if the _car_ is driving and blows a light and kills someone, then the automaker can and will be sued because they've got deep pockets. I can see the ads now running during the Price is Right. "Hit by a runaway robot car? Jon from Orlando was awarded $3.2 million! Call Richard Cranium Attorney at Law and get yours!"
You have an option to store it a vehicle, it's your choice not to use it. I was just calling out the "free" part of the argument, property owners are definitely not getting anything for free.
Don't the traffic saturated cities have a better incentive to make public transportation as good as possible? Less people on the roads seems like it would benefit everyone in that case, whereas most american cities are too sparse to support that kind of infrastructure

I wonder at what point they'll just solve the safety issue by removing the windshield and adding shit loads of impact absorption and a few steel plates that isn't possible on vehicles where the driver needs to be able to see outside.

Sorry! I'm trying to keep up with all the comments and have been responding hastily.

It's fair game in my book to use the tools Apple provides us as developers to monetize our apps. Other apps offering subscriptions do so in the same way... it's why Apple provides us the ability to even offer free trials.

I'm sorry you disagree, but this is common business practice.
If we look at gmail's current policy:
version: STSv1
mode: testing
mx: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
mx: *.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com

Then if somebody can take over the domain google.com they immediately start receiving mail for gmail.com. If you can take over gmail.com you may have to wait for a day.

Right. The argument "not that many bikes, why build bike lanes?" is a bit like "nobody crosses the river on a raft, so why build a bridge?"
The fact that you were offered a bribe today, and it does not seem like a big deal to you, makes your argument somewhat weaker.

I drive a car now and then in Cambridge and Boston, and I have to be constantly on a lookout for misbehaving cyclists. It's like most of cyclists are not even familiar with basic traffic regulations. If I was not paying extra attention, and was simply following traffic regulations on my end, I would be involved in more that a few car/bicycle accident.

The same people that ordered him to write this article have also ordered other people to do unethical things. But that's a different scenario than you just mentioned. So if you think this is immoral, than I imagine that your actual argument is more of a guilt by association thing.
Wow, 10,000 per km² sounds crazy ambitious. By those standards, Germany is a ghost land, cities here barely reach those numbers in the densely populated parts, certainly not on average.
The bad tablet experience on Windows is entirely the fault of app developers, Chrome included. Chrome's HiDPI and touch support on non-mobile are an atrocity and it's entirely their fault. They've gotten a little better lately, at least...

In comparison if I use (classic) edge to browse and read on my tablet, it's totally fine. Firefox is relatively okay as well (similar issues though, because it just doesn't get much testing).

Having two monitors of different DPIs makes it especially obvious how bad most apps are at DPI. The good ones stand out to a dramatic extent. DPI is a difficult thing to implement, but Win9x has had tooling and support for it since Windows 10 and they improve it with every release. When I implement support in my apps it really doesn't take that much effort, just forethought.

For one example: Chrome's scrollbars and other widgets are utterly atrocious on touch (even on Android it's kind of bad). The standard Win32 scrollbars and other widgets can have all their sizes manually adjusted in the registry, and by default many of them will automatically adjust when you're in touch mode. I was easily able to make scrollbars bigger across literally everything except Chrome.
> and also hard when you also have random other IOT/etc. type devices

Chromecast and Apple TV can't do 802.1x at all, same for every brand of Smart TV I've encountered. Android is a hit and miss, while Samsung and HTC support tends to be decent, cheaper phones don't have it in their test paths.

IoT devices? Gotta be lucky if you can get normal WPA2 running stable against enterprise-class APs. That's a whole new house of cards.

At work I actually had to put up a completely separate wifi network including access points and DSL uplink. Crap gear bought for testing isn't going to get access to the corp network for security reasons anyway and we had lots of issues with using an alternative virtual network on the enterprise APs as most of it seems to be tested against consumer FritzBoxes and 20€ APs, not against Cisco stuff worth hundreds of €.
I dont like the apple ecosystem. I dont like the iphone and I do think it is overpriced. My wife uses the iphone X/apple watch/mac book air. Apple hardware lasts a long time. We still have original ipod minis, iphone gen 1, ipad gen 2 in service as docked mp3 players, picture frames, etc.

I find the case on iphones to be too slippery, requiring you to cover it with another case. My android phone does not need a case and the phone wasnt that expensive so if I drop it, it isnt a big deal.

I find very annoying things like text messages to my wifes phone showing up on all apple devices. turning off the feature hasn't helped.

Apple periodically makes me reauthenticate to icloud on my macbook. However I have no other apple device so it sends the codes to my wife's phone. very annoying.

I used the first iphone but switched to android for my next phone because the iphone lacked T9 search which android had/has. The iphone still doesnt have T9 dialing. It matches letters/numbers in any portion of the name. This is helpful when I cant remember someones first or last name. It is also helpful when I have lots of people with the same name, but I know a portion of their actual #. It never takes me more than 3 taps to dial.

The iphone didnt have the capability to override calendar notifications. I use an app on android that lets me snooze reminders until an arbitrary number of minutes before the event (for me it is 2 minutes before). I started missing meetings constantly because of the lack of this function when I had an iphone.

Until recently the iphone didnt have the ability to take phone+conference bridge numbers and autodial the whole thing

I despise itunes. Something is always breaking causing me to lose music, to have to rebuy music, to reinstall the entire library from backup etc.

Getting pictures off the iphone is a nightmare. On android, you mount it as a drive and copy the images.

I do use a macbook as macosx has a *nix lineage.
Ok, I'll say it - bicyclists tend to annoy me. Obviously, I don't shout at them, or try to hit them, or make them think I'm trying to hit them. That's nuts. That seems like a problem separate for bike/car relations. I doubt someone who behaves that way in a car gets out of it and suddenly becomes a calm and reasonable person.

But here's my assessment of why bikes annoy me. Not argument that they should, just some introspection.

* They make me nervous. Cars are easy to see, have lots of momentum to overcome, and generally exist on a predictable well defined plane. Bikes are different. They can enter the car plane from places I don't expect and didn't even realize existed. They can make 90 degree turns on a dime (relative to my sedan) and can stop in inches. They don't generally obey traffic lights, stop signs, one ways, or any of the other rules that lend predictability to car behavior. They don't have brake lights or signals. And in a complex driving environment, they're tiny and often poorly lit. They also have no protection. Slow moving car crashes aka "fender benders" are expensive and annoying, but rarely dangerous. Similar accidents involving a bike can end lives. Having a bike near me makes me worried I'm going to hit it. I don't want to live with that so I give it huge space and pay it lots of attention. If I could drive on roads that didn't have bikes I'd prefer it.

* Civic disagreement. The arguments in favor of making roads more bike friendly are generally: more healthy, more space efficient, more environmentally friendly. I agree on healthy and environmentally friendly. Though, it does seem odd when someone tells me biking is super healthy and super dangerous in the same sentence, but I cede the point. Space efficient? Yes and no. It is more space efficient for people whose options are bike vs car to ride a bike, but there's tons of people that doesn't apply to - people who live far away, people who need to haul things, people who have health issues, people who are too young etc. Also, lots of people don't want to bike in heat, rain, snow, etc. Also, not everyone has a place to change and shower when they get to work. The shower issue and the distance issue disproportionately impact people who are less well off. I get that biking can be part of the solution, but man does it get over hyped.

* Guilt/jealousy. I really enjoy biking! If I'm in my car and you're on your bike - I'm pretty sure you're having more fun than I am, and that makes me jealous. Then I start asking myself why I'm not biking, and sometimes the answer makes me feel guilty. Neither of those emotions often get followed up with - let's arrange it so I can experience more of this.
Pick one, build something non-trivial for it, learn and form opinions about it. Rinse and repeat this process while exploring new tools and technology. Try to automate as much as possible. If you can stay relatively sane after a handful of iterations, you are not only an expert on cloud computing platforms, but an expert on the kinds of decisions, skills, tools, techniques, and experience needed to succeed in the industry. You can do it!

Having worked for a government contractor, it was my impression during my time there that they're so worried about oversight of the money and what miss-spending and corruption looks like that they spend most of the money making sure it doesn't get miss-spent. Often the amount spent recovering miss-spent money far out-weighs the cost of what was miss-spent in the first place.

One example my attention was drawn to is that a government employee overspent by $1.50 for a drink that was misassigned an expense code for the amount they spent. If they'd used the correct expense code or spent $1.50 less, no eyebrows would have been raised. Instead everything was processed and the person was pulled into a tribunal in front of other government employees who were being paid to oversee spending. Lord knows what those employees were paid to investigate this miss-spend. On top of the fact this employee was paid to attend the tribunal. This kind of behaviour is a gross waste of time and money... for $1.50 at a cost of many thousands of dollars to reclaim - or more likely re-assign to the correct expense code... and for what?

If you want to see your tax dollars at work, it's right here, making sure none of your hard earned money gets miss-spent.

They do that as well. The problem persists inspite of Beijing’s huge and growing subway system. Take myself as an example, I decided taking a taxi to work was worth it over a subway ride because of the crowded conditions...even though it lived and worked near stations on the same line.

American cities has plenty of space to build new roads, that isn’t possible in many Chinese cities. Anyways, roads and private transportation will always be there, why not optimize it along with a decent public transit system to boot?
I'm also concerned about security.
Good point, I guess the only thing possible to test was that the vector is in the no wind direction. But that doesn't rule out a stuck blade.
Hypocrisy aside, news publications also have significant incentive to go after Facebook because Facebook has become their biggest competitor for attention. You don't need to visit NYT or WaPo for news if your social circle keeps you up to date on the issues you care about. The substitution of real investigative journalism for unverified word-of-mouth stories via acquaintance is definitely something we should be concerned about as a society, but it's also important to recognize that there are significant profit motives at play that should also be examined.

I think both of these positions (its a fake narrative, and "ghost towns abound") have elements of truth. What it is, is impossible to compare.

Given the structure of western governments, and by that I mean nominally liberal democracies, a policy of funding the development of a city prior to their being any economic reason for the city to exist, is not possible. Western forms of government wait for economic pockets to develop, then tax them, and then with the tax revenue improve them to increase their economic potential. Without a tax base there is no mechanism for funding development.

China on the other hand, has a central government with a fiscal policy of borrowing from the central bank to fund the creation of economic zones prior to there being any economic activity. Once that zone exists, it does not enhance the existing zones nearby thus as they grow there is incentive to move their activity to "nearby" zones which are under utilized. This takes time of course and between the time of construction and mass migration, well the zone is under utilized or a "ghost" town.

When China guesses wrong, and the zone never supports additional economic activity, then its a complete write-off. Something a western government could not survive (they would be booted out of office for it) but one that a central government can (and does) survive.

The bottom line is that it is easy to write stories that amaze people who live in one system by playing on the differences of the other system.
The trade off to make applications cross-platform is worth it in my opinion.

Personally, still slower than I want, but it is a good compromise.

That's the key. Treating these as contradictory, as though Ostrom's work refutes the very possibility of TotC, is just weird. It's like saying that the existence of a measles vaccine means that measles can't exist. Solutions don't apply themselves, even when well known and once ubiquitous. Hardin's idea and Ostrom's seem strongly complementary to me.
I see... about 20 skyscrapers? More like China's downtown Cincinnati...
She would benefit most from more bus only lanes going into the city. Or perhaps rip out the parking garages and replace them with affordable housing downtown.
I’ve been browsing around satellite view of Chinese cities for a while now. There are hundreds of thousands of high rise apartment complexes without visible activity around them. Literally copy paste buildings surrounded by empty fields. How does this bode for China’s economy? They are all over the place.
That is exactly what a what aboutism is.
