Top gear is automotive themed entertainment, not automotive entertainment. Much to the dismay of many a Hilux fanboy you really shouldn't be taking shows like this as indicative of fact any more than you take that gold mining show on discovery as indicative of the economics of the mining industry.
My guess is that distracted people just mirror what the person in front of them is doing. Like when you’re trying to change lanes and the person next to keeps matching your pace so you can’t get over either behind or in front of them.
> I actually personally know someone who was retaliated at Google for raising a basic OSHA violation..

People are still complaining about not enough bathroom stalls? That issue has gone on for so long that I feel like the original person that decided that was an OSHA violation might be wrong. OSHA has had plenty of time to step in and assess penalties, their lack of action is suspicious.
> I say this as a bike commuter who sees phones

I' m probably going to get downvoted however: as a person who basically spent their entire adult life getting better at driving, (every single activity I have done since I was 17 was done to improve my driving: visual exercises, concentration exercises, sports, street racing, racing schools, advanced racing schools, advaced slide control training, lapping days, sports psychologist, exercise physiologist, organized open wheel racing and so on and so on... am I any good? I was offered fully funded racing contract, I was once pulled over by the police who inquired how it is possible to drive so well he said "it's like the car has eyes."
I have anhiliated laptimes of National race winners and professional racing instructors. And yes, I ride a racing style bicycle--but mainly to improve my balance for driving.)

I can guarantee you this as an Expert Driver; if you ride on the street with cars YOU are BEGGING to Be Hit And KILLED, and I know what the laws are--I'm stating my Expert opinion... and I Know I'm not wrong.
I immediately wondered that as well. In the best case, insurers are giving people a discount to install an app, like health insurers handing out connected fitness monitors. That's creepy, but only mildly so by today's standards. However, I recently renewed my car insurance with a popular company, and they didn't ask me to install an app, so that seems unlikely.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were silently bundled into a bunch of apps that have location access and run in the background. It gives insurers vaguely-useful data, but mostly exists to hoover up sweet, sweet location data.

EDIT: See below[1,2]. It's the extra-creepy version.

Hackerspaces are very much like that.

I've been to hackerspaces...

2 in Indiana

1 in Baltimore

1 in Washington DC

1 in Cambridge (MA)

1 in Louisville (tomorrow evening)

They all are packed in whatever space they could rent. Safety is like the safety of a shop floor: dont be stupid around machines that can deglove, cut, burn, or electrocute you. And every place had points of contact to ask about proper safe operations, and all had abundant PPE.

Makerspaces.. well, my first feeling is it's a pretty name in place of "hacker". Secondly, 'maker' has heavier commercial usage with commercial 'makerspaces'. They aren't seat-of-pants operation like a hackerspace can be. Ive also noticed that places that call themselves "makerspaces" also seem to discourage open house nights, and focus on "call for a walkthrough".
It took about 5 seconds of googling to find this:

That is not part of xerrors at this point. Rationale: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29934#issuecomment-46420...

Personally, I don't care for "string magic"

Edit: Instead of making another post, I'll add this here. It also feels odd that concerns about xerrors.As possibly panicking at runtime are considered addressed by the addition of a go vet check: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29934#issuecomment-46252...

I am not opposed to go vet, to be clear, but one of the aspects of the go compiler is that it does not warn, only errors out if compilation can't proceed. But the design of xerrors.As is fine because go vet acts like a compiler warning might? This is an aesthetic complaint more than anything else, but it still doesn't sit right with me.

> For each reporter - how many people do you think did not report?

For group discussions with no negative impact, there tends to be a 1-9-90 rule. 1% of the group is highly active, 9% are somewhat active, 90% are passive.

I believe it's safe to assume that similar ratios can be found in incidents like this - 1% or fewer will go public, 9% will go to their colleagues, and 90% will suffer in silence.
I was a customer of one of your competitors (bond.co) who just recently shut down operations, though I'm not sure why.

Would love it if there was an API integration, so that I could automate the delivery of handwritten cards. Do you have anything like in the works?
I am not sure why you think it is "management responded" -- it is all about other people on the team.

Right now, I am responsible for maintaining one of our internal services. If someone tries to rewrite part of it in Clojure without extensive internal discussion first, I'll do all I can to stop it (and I am not "management" at all). And most people on the team will agree with me.

If the original dev would not want to stick around after that, good for them. If they do not care about teammates at all, they would likely be happier working alone anyway.

After all, single-handedly moving to a new technology and then forcing everyone else on the team to support it is impolite and annoying. Clojure is nice, but I don't want to be forced to learn it because the server went down on my shift.

(this is different if the service does not need to be up all the time, or the company is very small. But if you are talking about API endpoint being overloaded, the chances are, neither of this is true)
I had it as a footnote because I meant it to pertain to a more broad group of people than rich white men.

My point wasn't to make a snide remark like "oh everyone gets mad at the poor CEOs". My point was that crowds seem to enjoy watching public displays of punishment. With the internet, this only gets amplified.

As far as being "as sensitive as using 'Auschwitz'", I was/am not aware of any narrow set of events or group of people that were "systematically murdered" under the term "witch hunt" [0]. Granted, I only did a cursory check.

The term is generally accepted as a category of attack, as opposed to referencing a singular event (such as the Holocaust). From the Wikipedia page:

"In current language, "witch-hunt" metaphorically means an investigation usually conducted with much publicity, supposedly to uncover subversive activity, disloyalty and so on, but really to weaken political opposition."

[0]: I will concede that, yes, people were actually gruesomely murdered under the guise of being witches, which might be enough to refrain from using the term for something that is not murder, but I'd hardly call murdering anybody you don't like "systematic".
A troll is someone who doesn't believe what they say and merely enjoys angering people, these people are very genuine in their belief. If you live in the sheltered parts of the internet it might shock you to learn that there are real people who think people like you and I should be dead, and are a post-ironic meme or two away from doing the job themselves.
Reading this reminded me of the time in the 80s when I discovered hex editors and changed COMMAND.COM to reverse every DOS command. So to get a directory listing you had to type RID, COPY became YPOC, etc. The error message was !sdrawkcaB. I know I'm no hacker but everyone else thought I was.

Work Tools for Remote Teams – Part 1: Cloud and Productivity
It sounds like you don't have skin in the game -- by which I mean you've a job. It's a completely different mindset when your having a roof over your head in 6 months depends on you validating your market or compiling enough data to raise a seed round. (Don't take that to mean you should quit your just. I'm merely pointing out that this can be a huge motivator.)

It also sounds like you're not chatting enough with your would-be clients. Instead of building first all while wondering if you'll get market traction and eventually losing interest, find the would-be customers first (if only as a pre-launch page to build a list) and then build what they want. It's a lot harder to walk away from a project when there's a mob of hungry buyers at the door who was promised you'd deliver in 3 months.
In Oregon the fine is $1000, or $2000 if you're involved in a collision. We have the lowest distracted rates in the country. But really, people still do it a lot.
Were these users on the Android version of the app? Would this exploit be device agnostic or would something in how Android handles in-app payments have effected this? Does the platform matter here?
While I believe that is technically illegal in many jurisdictions, I agree a quick peek is fine.

What I routinely see, though, is folks with their heads solidly down and noses buried in their phone. Just in the past week I've seen two folks _watching video_ on their phones while I was bike commuting. This is terrifying.

And sure, not everyone peeking at their phones at full stops will also be looking while they're moving. But folks who look at their phones while moving will definitely be looking at full stops, too.
I've worked with various betting sites in the past. They had spotters at the matches supplying data in just about realtime. That's way faster than any TV broadcast or streaming. IIRC most betting sites also have a rolling window on bets, you can only bet on an event some time in the future, not what might happen in 5 seconds.
> What are we subsidizing exactly? Development of new drugs? Does this mean if US started tightly regulating drug prices, then drug prices would go up everywhere else in the world? Or just that the rate of new drug development would slow down?

A bit of both, most likely. The US tends to see drugs that are not available elsewhere in the world, but the cost of drugs is much, much higher.

Quick example - Generic Walgreens ibuprofen costs $3.29 for 20 in the US. The same thing in the UK at Boots (same parent company) costs $0.50.
Could technology protect synagogues, soft targets from mass shootings?

I did this with my wife's account after she passed just over a year ago. Unfortunately, I didn't think to have Facebook make an archive before I did. They won't let you do so without a court order once the account is memorialized, which means all her photos (from over 9 years of account activity) are stuck there.

Hugs to you.
Hi jbergstroem. GitLab PM here. thanks for the feedback. Our vision is indeed ambitious and we recognize that not all of our categories are yet "complete" (more on our category maturity here https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/maturit...). While we are aiming to make GitLab a first class application for operators, we continue to focus on the developer lifecycle at the same time. You can see what each of our groups is focusing on upcoming releases here https://about.gitlab.com/direction/configure/#upcoming-relea.... I'd love to learn what areas and level of insight you'd like to see in out application that would make you consider using it as your daily ops-land driver. Thanks.

One obvious reason is, it's easiest. I hardly know anyone's private contact info, but of course you can always look up colleagues' work emails in the corporate directory.

And a large part of organizing is bringing people into the fold, so you'd still need to be organizing at work somehow, even if all you're doing is asking for external communications methods to continue the conversation. There's a much higher drop rate that way though.

But we don't. Rather, we make the price of engaging in that activity extremely high. What would be closest to what you are advocating would be something like summary execution for all cases of homicide and rape, and no civilized country does that.

> rust rewrite means you are more likely to invite contributions from a larger community

I'd be really interested to know why you think that's the case. Somewhere around 3% of programmers know Rust, while over 20% know C. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology

Naively, I would have thought that a C project would invite contributions from a much larger community. Sure (as I've personally experienced!) the Rust community is friendly and helpful, but we're still small, so I'm curious why you think a rewrite would get more contributions.
If the aurora is very intense it can move unbelievably fast. And it can be (at least perceived as being) as bright as the most spectacular still images. This isn’t something that happens every night or even every month though. I grew up where they were very common and living further south now I miss them. To put the odds in perspective, I go up north several days every winter (see family at Christmas etc) and haven’t seen a decent aurora for 10 years.
My apologies, I seem to have confused the two packages. I don't see it in the godoc either. In which case I echo your desire to have an explicit method of formatting and wrapping.

I suppose it won't take long for a component of one of the gometalinter or golang-ci or whatever to develop a "Errorf used without %w in the final position" warning, which will be good enough for me, but it would be better to have something like Wrap officially, IMHO.
I compiled a list of communities about digital marketing, social media management or any other form of online entrepreneurship (naturally, hackernews is in it).

This list was started for my own personal needs, but I soon realized it would be a useful resource to anyone interested in building a voice and authority online.

The goal is to keep this list fresh and relevant so that it can become an evergreen resource for entrepreneurs everywhere.

There are a lot of entries (200+!), but I know I'm missing some communities around these topics.

I hope you guys find value in this list, but I also ask that you let me know if I'm missing some great community.
Ask HN: Fashion companies with high R&D spending?
So, I just realised 99% of brands slap on Chinese bare min. quality items their brand and call it a day. Even luxury ones. But, take Nike. You try their flyknit shoes and you go "wow", because they're SO good. They spent $B in R&D and they x10ed the comfort, speed or whatever. Can you name other fashion/clothing/footwear brands/items that actually keep increasing their quality YoY?
I worked on the Windows team in the past, and it was a legitimate problem. Exposure to competitive products is great to stay aware of options and what others are doing, but the designers I worked with used Macs exclusively to the point where they didn't understand core Windows app switching/launching/task management workflows. A significant portion of my interactions was often explaining to them how proposed changes would interact with normal users, legacy apps, and everything else outside of idealized rendered screenshots.

It's not a direct consequence of anything that was said. It's a possible implication - in the conversational sense of implication, not the logical sense - but those get to be disclaimed.
>Zoe Quinn a c-word (which many people have)

Examples?

Sounds like Microsoft won't invite those 'many people' too then.

His statements on Pizzagate being real and QAnon being legit have been used to push those theories among the alt-right and white supremacists.

>It's probably worth having a Code of Conduct which requires explicit hard left belief systems if you're going to exclude people with mainstream beliefs.

Pizzagate and QAnon theories are the opposite of mainstream beliefs.

Also companies can and should go against mainstream beliefs if those beliefs are bigoted and racist. Otherwise slavery would never have been abolished and the civil rights act never enacted. Or women would never have gotten the right to vote. All those were against the mainstream beliefs at some point.

Companies doing these things going against the mainstream can actually hurt them in the marketplace, which is more the reason to applaud them for taking the risk.

As somebody who just bought an almost-assuredly overpriced cellphone (Pixel 3), I can say that in my case it's because -- despite being a professional software developer -- I can't tell which $200 phone would actually serve my purpose.

While I know that laptop and desktop systems have reached the point where pretty much anything will serve -- my laptop is over five years old and works for what I need -- I haven't found that phones have topped out yet. There is a massive array of features, including durability and battery life, where there is at least some potential to get more by paying more, and where I might actually use that.

I could possibly learn more by reading reviews and trying to read in between the lines, but as somebody who tries to upgrade rarely, I was content to pay more and hope that I'm actually getting what I need. And then try not to do it again for several years.

I fully admit to ignorance -- and that's your answer. I don't work with many cell phones; mostly, just mine. So you might well be able to recommend me an acceptable $200 substitute. But I bet somebody here would disagree, and I wouldn't know who to believe.

That's my experience. I can't tell you if it generalizes. (I can say that I waited until I got it for half price, which removes some of the sting.)

I really believe it's society increasing consumption of carbohydrates that causes this. Reading the literature from Tim Noakes and seeing the effects it has on kids and adults in The Magic Pill it's hard to argue that it certainly has some effect.

You seem to deeply misunderstand my position.

New York City exists at its location because nature made it the greatest port facility in the western hemisphere. Great cities emerge where there are transportation breaks: Seaports, rivers, lakeside sites (Chicago), the edge of mountain ranges (Denver). Any place goods need to be loaded and unloaded from long-range vehicles and onto other ones. The Erie Canal gave NYC access to America's hinterland, which floored the accelerator on the city's growth.

But don't take my word for it; here's a foreword written by perhaps the most respected authority on the history of the city of New York:

Buddy, the entire premise here is user "Monotonic" telling me that configuring remotes is unnecessary and that that in fact he or she just pushes to origin.

Don't jump in to the middle of the conversation here and then tell me that I'm not following along after saying to me that, in fact, you configure your remotes to be able to push to them. I know that! That you have to configure your remotes and that you can't just ignore it is _my_ position!
