For all I know, sometimes we tried to use FLIR gear with varying success. But even professional military grade FLIR is hard to use in a forest, for example.

There was a case when FLIR had been useful, for example in winter rescue from a drifting ice pack, IIRC.

Also, Liza Alert is cooperating heavily with the 'Angel' volunteer helicopter rescue service. These guys are amazing heli pilots who volunteered to help with SAR missions. My job as a radio operator involves interoperating with them sometimes :)

I'm fairly new and the first time I had to do it I've completely forgotten how to work the pilots, despite being a licensed amateur operator :)
Indeed, cycling and public transit go hand in hand. Even in the Netherlands, people don't ride bikes exclusively. For longer distances, they may ride their bikes to the train station, then take transit to the city center, or something like that. This makes it a lot easier to live without a car.
how big is your car? Damn....
It's true. It's actually very disconcerting how much less snow there usually is on the bike lane, than on the sidewalk it's built into. There are stretches where folks just walk in the bike lane, because the sidewalk is so unsafe.
Yet, the BIOSes both of the last motherboards i bought (one recently, another 3-4 years ago) had some very elaborate UIs, with skinned menus, star backgrounds and a bunch of other frivolous stuff. I think one even had some sort of background ambient sound.

Keeping with tradition though, the "help" screens of every option was as helpful as the "help" screens of my 386DX, Pentium MMX and Athlon64 desktops of decades prior, with entries such as the help for "Select frobation mode: FOO" being oneliners such as "Frobation mode, can be FOO or BARF" (but what the hell does frobation mode do and what do the FOO and BARF options mean?).

Sure, and for any given application it’ll be possible to explain Markov chains as they apply to it. I recently did a financial valuation course where we did an “intuitive derivation of Itos formula” so that we could skip the measure theory prerequisites. We also skipped talking about Reimann integrals and just accepted that sums are integrals at a limit ... we also glossed the separating hyperplane theorem so that we could say “no arb iff risk neutral measure exists”, and so on.

However, if you actually want a background in the theory of Markov chains, I don’t think this approach works.
Sounds like a simple oversight in contract negotiation that the director and some performers decided to turn into a political statement.
Well, first, I reject the idea that the only potential motivation for learning new things, building interesting things, and working hard is personal greed, especially given that virtually the entire tech industry is built on the hard work of open source contributors, who built and continue to build incredible things without any expectation of financial recompense.

But more importantly, I don't really care if a few people are slightly less motivated if it means that we can unlock the massive amount of latent human potential currently wasted in poverty, hunger, and desperation. The number of people like that would be massively outweighed by the people who aren't scrabbling just to survive, and whose intelligence and work ethic could instead be turned to learning and building the future.

This has nothing whatever to do with this article.
I've experienced this same anecdote in similar situations for the past 20 years as well. There has been a long push by auto manufacturers to make anything other than cars that use the roads seen as both illegitimate and illegal. For example, see the history of Jaywalking laws: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26073797. Starting around 1920's the auto-industry encouraged laws around the US to make crossing the street illegal. These laws have the downside of making car drivers feel entitled to the road.

Cyclists and other non-car users of roads have a deep hole to climb out of to change these laws, and to change the perception that streets are only for cars. Infrastructure is probably the only real mechanism we have that can make tangible changes, that don't allow the personal feelings of car drivers to get angry at being inconvenienced by cyclists and other road users.

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.

Examples like this are exactly why bike lanes are not the only change needed to make cycling more accessible. What stops drivers from doing any of these if there were protected bike lanes? Generally "protected" bike lines are not protected at intersections, which is where most problems occur.

I live in Austin right now and I tend to avoid the protected bike lanes because drivers frequently turn across them without yielding to cyclists using them. The city put up signs saying to yield to oncoming cyclists, but in my experience those signs are followed less than 5% of the time. I'd rather ride in the normal traffic lane where I'm visible. Yes, I might be angering some drivers, but angering drivers is better than dying.
Context: this is about an opera by George Gershwin, Porgy and Bess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porgy_and_Bess . Apparently, Gershwin's heirs request that "an African-American cast" be used in performance. This might actually make some sense as the opera itself is a bit divisive towards Black culture, and there is a rather long history of performances by non-African Americans tending to make it even more so. This statement by the opera cast can be seen as a clarification that they did intend to properly respect the work, although one can of course argue about this.
That is not the only thing that matters. There is some interesting psychology at play here.

One thing I see rarely discussed is the fact you are getting killed by a programming error, not a human. Of course, the humans made the said programming error, but they have no face, there is nobody (individual) to blame, no-one to apologise, no-one to mourn for their actions.

At least if someone is hit by another driver, they will be prosecuted in the case of negligence, or if it's due to a mistake, be able to apologise. It's human. It's different.

Maybe. I stopped biking in the winters in Cambridge purely because the pathways are impassable because of the snow. Not because of the weather.
>I could be misinterpreting the language, [...] but the default seems to be that a typical side street would have a dedicated bike lane.

I think the key here is that it's for any roadway that is rebuilt, expanded, or reconfigured. This is very rare for residential side streets in my experience - it would only come when roads are widened or curb lines are redone, which is more common on major streets and roads. Repaving is explicitly excluded.

I also think the exceptions are not nearly as limited as you. While 12.22.040.B explicitly calls the exceptions "rare", basically as long as they can prove in a public report that it's impractical (for financial constraint or physical features/usage reasons), they don't have to do a bike lane.
Not to mention getting the data back down here. For the analysis of M87, there were multiple petabytes generated: they had to use good old sneakernet and ship hard drives.
> The only thing that matters is how many people are dying because of self-driving cars vs dying without.

This is not how human emotion or layperson risk assessment works.
One study. 1 minute vs 5 minute rest periods. One dimension of the study (MPS), over 28 hours post exercise. No idea if this is relevant after the first workout, or the second, or the first week. This is pop science. The actual study might be fine, but the extrapolation out to practical applications is pretty silly at this point.

So, I would deprive them of these benefits because I suspect that they are mild to irrelevant, and because an adult male benching 75lbs 15 times is likely to be bored out of their mind resting 10 minutes between those three sets (for example), for what is probably a trivial-or-non-existent 'edge'.
The key is to start with a self-driving autorickshaw. Then you can pathfind as a straight line and just move forward whenever there is at least an inch of space.

Because where I live it takes at least an hour for a taxi to decide to come get me (and that's being generous: last time it was about 4 hours). Uber simply says "no cars available" and Lyft frustratingly shows cars 10 miles away that simply disappear.
Just because the car has no driver doesn't mean that the economics change enough to service a low population density area.

The reality is that there are huge swaths of the US where you need personal transportation.
Odd, that's not my impression. Seems like the center (on both sides) and non-libertarian right want to see him in jail.
> The moment it's an order of magnitude less, then self driving car will become default.

This is rational but I don't think it's true. ~37,000 people die from car crashes every year in the US, from about ~35,000 accidents. Each individual Tesla crash that results in any serious injury or death is still a national news story. Humans are bad at estimating probability; it's hard to imagine popular support for self-driving cars if they kill thousands of people each year. Even if the alternative is tens of thousands of deaths, we have already collectively priced that in as a risk of living in a developed, automobile-driven society, such that fatal crashes never rise beyond local news.

The federal government is generally biased in favor of large entities that'll be around in 20 yrs because that is the timescale over which the government operates, which is why their technology is always significantly behind.

As a startup your best bet is partnership with the big guys, meaning you'll have to craft your solutions in a way that it can piggy-back on all the checklists (things like FeDRAMP) the big guys already have checked.

Don't even get me started on the bureaucracy full of people whose sole purpose for existence is to ensure nothing can get done:)
I was working with a large aircraft manufacture in Seattle, let's call them Doeing. We, as a supplier, had an issue and put together a 5 why workshop with all the stakeholders from both sides. We get a good list of primary whys, and work all of them out. Then the Doeing lead gets up and points to the two top causes and states, "we have to eliminate these, because we can't tell management that the failure is on our side." So we finished the workshop with secondary failures on our side and spent a year and who knows how much money on a fix that never worked.
> The moment it's an order of magnitude less, then self driving car will become default.

I have no surveys to back this, just intuition. But I don't think one order of magnitude is enough to counteract the fact that people don't feel as if they have control over their own mortality.

i.e. it'll have to be a lot better than just one order of magnitude before people can be swayed towards putting their lives in the hands of a robot.

Cambridge also seems to have a disproportionate number of unsafe bicyclists (and pedestrians) for some reason. Maybe it's all the students. It's probably a net good thing that cycling lanes are being improved although there are certainly tradeoffs given the traffic and parking situation. However, whenever I'm driving home up Beacon Street after dark, there are invariably cyclists zipping around with no lights, going up streets the wrong way, and pedestrians dressed in dark colors randomly quickly stepping out from behind parked cars into the street.

The bike lanes that now exist probably make things safer overall but there's a lot of dangerous behavior out there on the part of many types of infrastructure users (including cars as well).

If you can see them visually, you can definitely see them thermally. A small corner that might not be visually distinct will be thermally warm. You're spot-on, and drone-ready thermal cameras have been available (but expensive) for some time now.

However, even the best thermal cameras are fairly low-resolution -- getting beyond 640x480 generally costs more then a car. So you want to overlay the images, and view them side-by-side, and see if one can tell you something about the other. That workflow could use a lot of improvement.

Also, thermal images have some weird artifacts. In visible light, since we've all grown up perceiving it, shadows and reflections are just natural and we don't even notice them anymore. But medium-wave infrared tends to reflect off things we don't think of as reflective, and it confuses a lot of first-time observers. Different surfaces have different emissivity, and tend to take on the apparent temperature of the background or reflected scene, which is often the sky itself, and the temperature of the sky is a whole 'nother topic. These artifacts are so confusing to untrained observers that they've spawned an entire genre of TV shows ("ghost hunters"), and continually trip up new analysts.

All that being said, yes, adding thermal cameras can definitely produce more useful data. It just might not be suitable for crowdsourcing.

It's so bad. I bike daily to work, and take a very extended route that tries to go purely on protected bike lanes, but there are still so many vehicles on them. Cops need to start ticketing heavily for this, but the problem is they are routinely the ones blocking the lanes. NY is getting much better for biking, but there needs to be a shift in actually protecting bikers, since obstructing vehicles causes traffic and inconvenience whereas obstructing cyclists leads to injury and death.

Nuclear energy is the safest form of energy, it has much fewer casualties than gas, wind or solar. The difference is the risk of nuclear is indiscriminate, whereas people dying in a solar accident are the workers (rooftop fall).

If the driver is in control of their own car, they have themselves to blame (mostly). With self-driving, they are trusting their lives into a single entity they understand nothing about.

Not that it excuses the behaviour of the others of course but Facebook is by far the worst offender in this list. They've been repeatedly and consistently caught misusing the data they collect. At least Google are only using it to sell better targeted advertising (for now).

Facebook is also the easiest to avoid.
The point I'm trying to make is, revenue dealers (and BMW) receive from service and maintenance will decline. Margins on cars will have to increase to make up the difference. BMW might not be able to differentiate on a performance-basis in an all-electric segment.

People want fast cars that look nice. BMW fits that bill today. In an all-electric segment, why pay a premium for the BMW name if there's no appreciable performance difference? Surely, some will, but will it be enough to sustain the brand? I don't think so.

I've been a transportation cyclist for roughly a decade and I agree with everything he said. Many cyclists do, particularly more experienced ones.

Bike lanes can be helpful, but they are not the panacea many people make them out to be. I think the main benefit bike lanes have is increasing the number of cyclists which leads to the "safety in numbers" effect. I think far too many bike lanes are made poorly, however, and these ones seem to be less safe than if there was no bike lane.

It is surprising to me that this is the straw that broke the camel's back. There are billions of Android users that appear to be browsing the web on their phones but are actually taking pictures of you (you personally!) and uploading them to Google. There are planes flying around taking pictures. There are drones flying around taking pictures. There are satellites flying around taking pictures.

The cat is out of the bag. There are pictures of you. Not sure why that should stop drone delivery (or self-driving cars for that matter, which guess what, have cameras on them).
Good tab management, to be honest. Other mobile browsers like Firefox and the Adblock browser have issues where swiping the tab away only works in a specific direction or in a very straight line, or is annoyingly difficult when the device is in landscape mode because you have to swipe twice as far for some reason, or the UI for opening the tabs page is inconvenient.

I think the concern is that the reason it is so different is disturbing to taxpayers: If it is filled with more bureaucracy than a similar commercial deal, then they're wasting taxpayer money. If that bureaucracy is the only way to prevent corruption, then they must be horribly easy to corrupt. If you can get a guaranteed revenue stream to grow your company to 100s of people with no day to day risk of losing this customer, then they're not being good stewards of that money. In short, them being different in these ways are bad sign for the taxpayers who fund this.
