> Receiving software updates to a computer is not a huge tech challenge.

And yet almost all car companies are—with rare exceptions—entirely averse to the modification of car software updates for anything more substantial than bugfixes, device compatibility and trivial tweaks.

It might not be a tech challenge, but it is a corporate one. It seems like no car companies want their cars to ever change in any way, lest a single word of their owner's manuals might need to be rewritten.

BMW for example will provide software updates to their iDrive head units: either as a trivial patch for device compatibility, or as a more substantial update applied by the dealer. And the latter sounds great... EXCEPT that their system configuration is guided by the car's build date, and if a useful feature was released after your car was built, you probably won't get it.

By way of example, my May 2013 build date BMW F20 shipped with no screen overlay for volume changes. In order to get that overlay, I first had to get the software flashed by the dealer (there was an actual crashing bug which was another story) and then I had to "code" the car myself to make iDrive think its build date was a year later. Once I did that, I got a screen overlay for volume changes.
Microsoft employees are not like Googlers. There was a protest letter that was passed around and I think it got more ex-MSFT than actual employees to sign it.

I suspect a few people from both companies will complain but it won't be enough to dictate change. MSFT employees complained about the company working with ICE and while that did get a response, it didn't get the contract canceled.
Technical debt: The good, the bad, and the reckless
Yes, I was thinking more of an urban context, there are surely places and situations where a real flying drone (basically a model airplane in this case) works better.

I was merely trying to suggest that maybe we are too dazzled by the technology (flying! straight to your garden!) to see simpler and more effective solutions.
This kinda feels like worrying about how the telephone would allow people to spread rumors and damaging information about each faster and further. Or perhaps discriminate against a potential job applicant based on their voice, instead only getting to see a letter.

This feels like a non-tech person has realized what tech people realized 20 years ago. Technology makes everything we do faster and more efficient even if those things are bad. What they don't propose is any general statement of the problem or any type of solution.
There is nothing forcing you to buy a $1000 iPhone - there is always the $475 iPhone 7.

You also don’t have to buy an iMac Pro or a fully decked out MacBook Pro.

Apple has plenty of good mid priced hardware - except for the current unreliable keyboards on laptops.

Anybody know what happened to the x86 on ARM thing Microsoft had a while back?
I've lived in Cambridge or neighboring Somerville every year but one since 1989. The cycling infrastructure is much improved and still deadly.

Just yesterday, I approached an arterial Street from a side street at 6pm. Cars on the arterial were moving about 8 MPH. I dismounted my bike, and began walking across the arterial in the crosswalk. As I re-mounted on the other side and resumed riding, a white man in a mid-size SUV leaned out his window and said loudly to me, "I hope you get hit!"

This morning on my way to work, a driver popped out of a side street from my left side directly in front of me. As I was along side of him, he swerved hard to the right and into a parking lot (no signal of course).

I've been a daily bike commuter in Cambridge for 12 years. We desperately need infrastructure that forces drivers to respect cyclists as equal road users. There is hardly a day that I don't almost get hit by car while cycling.
I somehow disagree. In a free democratic society every citizen should be able to operate with the assumption that very invasive practice is banned, unless you opt into it with clear intent.

Most people who got an Alexa have probably no idea how it works and whether it is invasive or not and they quite certainly operate it under the assumption that no real human will listen in to the conversations they have in the presence of their electronic assistant.

Unless Amazon made a strong effort to communicate this in the clearest possible way (e.g. by putting a "our employes may listen in to any conversation" front and center on every place they sell it), they are in my opinion at least guilty in a ethical sense here. Legal is a different thing, but you can be operating totally legal, while still beeing ethically wrong.
Buzzfeed cites Bloomberg as the source in this article.
Better bike infrastructure will encourage groups of people who don't currently bike to start. More protected lanes means more kids, more old folks, more women of all ages, will start cycling. And more cycling is a good thing!

Animal drawn vehicles have been in use for millennia with nothing but nature to provide infrastructure. Relatively flat terrain for the path, a watering hole, whatever plant the animal ate. This was improved over centuries with actual infrastructure (a well) but you have to admit we're talking vastly different scales compared to anything auto.
Even more importantly, they've made the Prius Plug-in Hybrid for 7 years - it already has a big enough electric motor to drive it alone (up to 135 km/h), and a plug-in charging system.
If you want bang for your buck, don't get the premium model iPhone.

It varies a lot. When I bought my 1st gen 27" 5K iMac it was cheaper than a premium 4K display (screen only) from some other manufacturers, that it out-performed just in terms of the display.

Timing with respect to the tech cycle makes a big difference. Apple hardware tends to maintain it's price point through it's life cycle more so than most, so if you buy shortly before a refresh you can certainly end up paying through the nose.

Then there's a synergy factor. Yes you can get a laptop with a comparable CPU and storage to an Air, but how good is the touchpad? Is the SSD as fast and on as good a bus? Does the display have as good a colour gamut and photographic fidelity? Is the keyboard – er – ok you got me on that one.
They are reshared by perfectly ordinary people, I'm afraid. Former schoolmates and relatives. Though, I expect most wouldn't actually act in it.

You’re not in the group of people who do not bike due to the lack of barriers.

It’s possible that this group is extremely tiny, in which case it may not make sense, but whether existing bikers feel they needed it is not really the relevant question.

But that’s only considering the “get more people biking” aspect. The truth is that protected bike lanes are statistically safer than ones that are not, so there is good reason to require it just to reduce injury or death even if it does not lead to an uptick in biking.
> But it seems it would be rather cheap to set up an infrastructure made principally of steel towers and (thin) cables, and there shouldn't be many technological challenges.

Just huge logistical challenges with right-of-way, construction labour, tearing up and making good the {sidewalks,lawns,gardens,driveways,etc}, actual acquisition of poles, ongoing maintenance and trimming duties, etc.

Greenfield installation of infrastructure in public areas is incredibly complex.
Poisson processes are continuous time though. If you're interested in Markov chains you only need the discrete-time theory.

How can you exploit this? If you put in null bytes, then in all likelyhood it will get truncated early. It's not going to cause an overflow or anything.
In places like Edinburgh's New Town - which were built at "peak horse" you have entire streets of mews properties that were originally built as stables for grand houses:

If you view the MCAS as a control system that is a safety component of the 737 MAX, then you need a really good reason to completely cut off that safety system when a particular sensor input goes above a given threshold. In this case the argument being made is that if the input is above 24 degrees the safety system should be turned off, potentially leading to a stall. It's almost an argument against having that system entirely.

The problem is much more complicated than this and requires thinking end to end about 1) what the purpose of the system is, 2) when and how it should operating, 3) how much control it should have, 4) how it's activity is made visible to the pilot when it performs any control, 5) how and under what conditions it should automatically disable itself, or 6) be able to be manually disabled, and 7) how the pilot is made aware of all of these situations in a way that doesn't cause confusion in potentially complex scenarios involving other failures and alarms going off, and 8) proper training so the pilot can manage the plane when the characteristics have changed after the system is disabled. Oh, and 9) in this case since it's impossible for a pilot to manually trim a 737 when it's above a couple of hundred knots, making sure an electronic trim assistance function is available in this scenario (which it wasn't due to tragic idea to overload the use of the trim runaway cutout switches).

And I am probably missing a bunch of things, which is part of the point.

Toyota has a lot more debt and a significantly higher debt/equity ratio than Tesla has, a merger shouldn't have a material impact on credit ratings.

Also, I feel quite confident in stating that the short-term market cap of the two companies merged would be significantly higher than the two companies separate. Toyota has a P/E of 10 (!). A merger would make it "cool", giving it a better ratio. Not Tesla's ~50 (based on quadrupling the last quarter earnings; TTM earnings are negative), but something higher than 10. And since Toyota has significant earnings, increasing the multiple of a big number....

Long term I'm not so sure it's a good strategy but a superficially the synergy looks awesome: combine Tesla's innovation and hype with Toyota's ability to deliver high quality cars.
We do, but in most urban markets billions isn't enough to do much. SF spent $2 billion just on building a new transit hub.
> Public transport will always be able to pack more people into the same space.

While that's true, that's also just an argument for something we already understand. Are there possible arguments to be made about the number of busses and routes because it's not taking people point to point. What about the lul-time of day, where on-demand model is more efficient than driving empty busses around. They reduce schedules obviously. But now you're punishing passengers that start a shift at noon. There are more things to solve than just "the least amount of pollution and space."

Totally unrelated but similar argument. The FAA introduced a new system and process for creating standard flight paths a few years ago. Flights around the nation started doing new things. TONS of people are now inundated by jet noise. They're now discussing just going back in certain areas to the old routes. They ONLY optimized for efficiency of route and didn't consider anything else.

Employee Onboarding for Startups – It Doesn't Have to Be Painful
Most of the existing separated bike lanes are incorporated into the sidewalk, and therefore protected by the curb. There are a few that are "protected" by rows of parked cars or bolted-down pylons, but this would seem to not be legal under the new law.

I'm actually not sure how they manage to get those bike lanes cleared, seeing as how the sidewalks are always covered in snow, but there seems to be some method.
When I was at school in the US I had a minor medical procedure. One of the forms required me to list my race.
My doctor was Egyptian and having grown up in the middle east myself we joked about whether he qualified as African american or if he could medically identify my race. Race has no medical definitions and worldwide few courts would ever dare tell someone their race. This case is going nowhere. The opera has made a valid artistic point and won't be forced to change the cast.

That said, the US is one of the few places where courts remain willing to determine race and/or religious identity. It isn't common but it does come up (wills, immigration/asylum, some issues involving native american tribes, and cases where people have lied on various forms). If this case can find a way into a US court the opera would not win.
I took masklinn's comment to mean that your point in sharing the youmightnotneedjquery.com was to show evidence of problems using vanilla JS instead of jQuery, not that that's the point of the site existing.

The site has plenty of examples of vanilla requiring writing multiple lines compared to one jQuery line, which I took to be your point regarding "ergonomics." EB66 seems more focused on a subtler point regarding the site, that their vanilla examples don't do everything the jQuery version does.
I don't know Chicago, but I do know what's happened in San Francisco over the last 20 years. It's taken a long time, but the city is finally starting to take protected bike lanes seriously, sadly much of that is in response to lives lost.

When I first got here, it was just a fight for standard bike lanes. For either to happen, more people need to get on their bikes and ride. Contributing to your local bike coalition is also great way to help push these issues forward.

If everyone follows your advice and chooses to not ride because of the danger, then nothing will change, and the lives lost to poor road infrastructure and poor driver education will have been for nothing.

>There's a difference between being anti-immigrant and being anti-illegal-immigrant.

I used to think that too. I don't anymore. People are anti-immigrant.
The law determines whether the immigrant is legal or not, but that does not matter to the anti-immigrant.
Let us be generous and say the anti-immigrant is so because of economic reasons, depression of wages and what not.
Then does it matter that the immigrant is here legally?
No. He is nonetheless contributing to the depression of wages (ex. H1-b).
And then maybe if the economy is super healthy and there is labour shortage, would it then matter if the now desired immigrant is legal or not? No.

People are anti-immigrant because they see immigrants are others, as competition who has no right to compete with them, or similarly, they seem them as another people encroaching on their territory. Issues of legality concern the state but they do not concern the individual anti-immigrant.
Same thing happened to my SO in MA a few months ago - I told her she deserved it

Is it even legal to take him with force out of the embassy? He should be 'protected' there no?

I guess when it comes to the US, they just waited for the right moment to make the move
MA already had laws statewide mandating bike lanes on new construction and renovation. This has led to the situation near my house where a highway intersection (Route 1 and 495) was rebuilt and a bike lane added for about 1000 feet on a road that has a 55mph speed limit. There is no bike lane on the rest of Route 1, just around the intersection where the construction happened. Now we have a bike lane that will never be used confusing the drivers trying to figure out where they should be when taking the entrance ramp onto the highway. This is a suburb around 40 miles outside of the city.

I’m all in favor of bike lanes but these types of blanket mandates aren’t the solution because it eliminates the community’s ability to use common sense and apply the law logically. So you wouldn’t be encouraging biking across a ramp with no signals and cars going from 55 mph to 65 mph for example.

Separate from the political issues at the top level of funding, the entire FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) is a steaming pile of reactionary bullshit, grown by accretion to minimize risk to bureaucrats at the expense of serving the tax payer efficiently.

The whole "bribing and political connections" side is sexy and interesting and headline grabbing, but the bulk of the issue is just far more banal and depressing.

The sad part about it is that the state of the FAR is such that our government, even if you are a person that wants it to play a bigger role, isn't really capable of executing on big things anymore. Combine that with the inept and apathetic staffing of (typically) mediocre at best clock punchers, and you end up with an organization that has a deep, deep spending efficiency issue.

The two political parties are both clueless. One thinks a massive, bloated organization with a track record of spending inefficiencies needs more revenue. The other thinks that a nation of 350 million just doesn't need a funded federal government.
Yeah I think this is the main challenge - you can have private buses are that are comfortable and provide a net positive over driving yourself. These exist in the bay area (FB, Google, Apple all do this) but then they're not public transport.
I can outperform 90% of human trainers as well in the first 60 days of training as most human trainers are clueless and the novice effect is real.

Do any compound movement with as much weight as you can manage for a set of 5. Do a couple more sets. Add 10 pounds to the bar every subsequent workout until failure. Then add 5 pounds to the bar every workout subsequent to that.

That'll get most healthy young people through the first 8 weeks of training. Train two or three times a week and you'll add 80-100 pounds to every lift.

The caveat being that small people will run out of linear gains in their upper body during that time.

As someone who also travels by ICE vehicle I don't look for EV chargers and they're not on my mind so I don't see them. That's probably not at all the case for someone with an EV especially a Tesla owner who has that information at their fingertips in the vehicle. I know around here they're at malls, movie theaters and a little more off the highway than gas stations. That said I don't know where you were driving so it's entirely possible there weren't many charging stations around.

Nope, not surprising. I'd bet the people that wrote the articles aren't the same people that put the trackers on the pages or sell the ads or do budgets and so on.

You have to keep the data in that class for a certain period of time. That's the drawback. You can access the data at that price as long as you keep it there for a long time.

So I suspect this is not a fully cold storage. That's why they can retrieve the data faster. Seems more like an economics hack (Longer commitment to keep the data, allows them to buy and operate the storage hardware/software at a cost that can be amortized against those commitments)
