Here in SF many protected bike lanes cross over at intersections so they are to the left of the right-turn lane.

Of course then you have the nerve-wrecking problem of what happens in the crossover zone. You are approaching cars in their biggest blindspot (rear right) and they are actively driving over your lane.

I don’t think there’s a safe solution to this problem at all other than maybe saying bicycles are full participants in traffic and should go everywhere. Then making sure there’s no such thing as a 45mph (or even 30mph) road in the city unless it’s isolated and bicyclists aren’t allowed on it. Ie, it isn’t a street, but a road road. No sidewalks, no crosswalks, no bikes, on/off ramps

I wish I'd read up about the stability of the company I'm joining and if they're financially sound or not. Companies that aren't doing well financially usually have problems with management (for example, projects don't get enough funding).

Another thing I missed is if the people on your team sound bored or don't seem interested or excited about their work. One way I found telling was if they didn't go into details about their projects and try to be ambiguous.
I always wear a helmet biking, and skiing for that matter. Neither helmet is likely to save me from a serious injury or death. They provide a small extra margin of safety in low speed collisions.

Bike helmets are no impediment to vision or turning one's head.

What I'd like is a cam linked to the police that would auto-ticket anyone passing too close. I would gladly sign an affidavit confirming the infraction.
Satanic cults are exceedingly and aren't societies - and I'll bet they even have rules - can't kill the in-group for instance.

> They all have lawful license to murder they just disagree on who to kill.

That falls under the special circumstances, and implies that normally murder is unlawful.
That makes no sense. If you can already infer the labels beforehand, then you already have a working model, right?

The job of the model is to infer those labels. The model needs to be trained to accurately predict those labels by using examples that were labeled beforehand.
"Not news to you personally" is not the same thing as "not interesting."
No. And if you think it through, you'll come up with several reasons very quickly.
Will iPadOS include a calculator app?
No, I saw a an ebike blow out of golden gate park against a red and cause a 3 car accident in SF a few weeks back, despite only spending a few days in SF each year. At least one or more of the cars were likely totalled and would contribute much more significantly to waste/emissions. I also saw a lot of people on bikes/scooters using sidewalks and crosswalks like their personal fast lines and ignoring signs and signals repeatedly as well.
Is it though? Think about zuckerberg's "dumb fucks" quote.
How do you know China does this? I haven't seen any proof of them listening to "rules", WTO or any other. They say yes, but they seem to do: "meh". A plethora of examples exist.

Trump pulled out and a lot of companies objected and states added local laws to object to him. Companies did extra efforts, without subsidies, because they can.

Trump ( luckily) isn't a generalisation of America.

As ofc XI isn't, but XI ( more the communist party) is the absolute boss of every Chinese company. If he really says no, it's done.

And of course, he wants everyone to buy solar and all other tech of the Chinese. So there is money involved ;)

Trump seems to be just a puppet for some game-over companies, extending their EOL.

I rode a scooter for the first time yesterday and it got me thinking that bike companies are typically a non-factor when it comes to city municipalities, but, the backing of Uber and Lyft (plus numerous scooter companies) might be the thing that helps push these cities into embracing more of these sorts of things (protected lanes for scooters), just because of the clout they can bring to bear on these cities.
[I realize you can't quite compare American and European roads in the context of bicycling, given the huge surface area in the US. Still, a small anecdote.]

I live in a small Western European city with a serious biking culture. As an everyday bicycler, lately I was happy to see some pleasant incremental changes (to the already pretty good infrastructure) for bicyclers and pedestrians: they are turning streets where cars are allowed into "mainly bicycle" lanes (and the existing narrower bike paths get freed up for pedestrian use), fully painted in maroon, with some wooden signboards on the side, reading: "This is a bicycle-first path, cars must remain behind bicyclers".

This makes it much more spacious, not to mention safer, to bike along, especially so on busy bicycle routes, on previously-narrower lanes. To make a poor analogy, it's like an upgrade from economy to business class.
Not legally in most US cities. Sidewalks are for walking, the street is for bicycles and cars.

Narrative I/O | Scala Backend Engineer, Angular Frontend Engineer| New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE | http://narrative.io/

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

Apply by sending your resume to hiring@narrative.io.

We are hiring for the backend and frontend roles and are building the team with a remote-first mindset.

Absolutely you can distinguish. The person who hates everyone better off than themselves would have to make a special exemption for themselves so that all their money wouldn't be taxed away too and leave them at best on an even playing field with those they (previously?) hated. The person who believes taxes are good for society would of course happily (or at least voluntarily) pay their share of whatever the mandated tax was. Inverting the original question semantically doesn't mean that you've provided a valid counter-example.

Telemetry and forced updates are as much an Apple/iOS thing as a Google thing if you are playing "Microsoft followed whatever someone else was doing".

iOS has a hard deadline on updates before it forces an install, Windows was just less obvious about the window between when an update was available and when it would be forced. (It's actually very similar, most updates on Windows have exactly a week before they are forced from when they are first "advertised", but most people don't check the "advertisements" so never noticed. Each build of Windows 10 has worked harder to make advertisements more obvious and schedules more clear. Apple has more people respond directly and positively to the advertisements each update cycle.)

iOS and macOS also have as much, if not more, telemetry than Windows. (iOS since Day 1, macOS more slowly.) On a fresh iOS or macOS install you see as many Telemetry opt-in questions as on a Windows install.

A lot of it just comes down to marketing. Apple has more marketing charisma to spare, and more people respect Apple's updates and telemetry. Arguably too, fewer overall users makes fewer obvious complaints, and historically there are fewer reasons to complain about Apple products than Microsoft products.

This information is useful, but I'm often disappointed at the super-granular focus of information offered by knot-tying manuals, and this guide is no different.

For example, take the truckers hitch (https://www.animatedknots.com/truckers-hitch-knot). I could give this to someone and I'm sure they could tie the knot, but I would have great doubt about their ability to actually secure a load on a rooftop rack. There's a big gap between the mechanics of knot-tying and the application of the knot to a larger scenario.

I wish a guide came out that was more scenario based, covering things like:

How to secure a tarp so it doesn't blow away, how to secure a load on a car, how to lash together a back-country field-table/stool, etc.
its very difficult to get an honest read from interviewers and hiring manager. the less functional they are the more desperate they are to turn things around.

its clearly not a hard and fast rule, but one thing that I've found is the things people and companies stress are often the things that they aspire to be, and are directly in contradiction with the way things actually are.

a company that stresses how well the deal with 'technical debt', is often one thats drowning in legacy code.

'productive collaboration' might mean a systemic culture of mistrust and people going their own way for no reason.

a company that says they are hiring you to present game-changing ideas for consideration is likely to put you in a corner and ignore you.

but I have alot of baggage :)

>> Is it possible to distinguish between someone who believes taxes are bad for society, or immoral, from someone who's unhappy about their tax bracket?

Yes. All the flat tax supporters. A great many people, wealthy people, feel that taxation should not be progressive. They agree that taxes are necessary but disagree with them paying more than poor people do.

Also, use-based taxation proponents. They agree that infrastructure needs to be built and that taxes are required to do so, but do not believe that they should pay for such things if they are not using them.

So yes, there are a great many east lines to be drawn between people who think taxation is evil and those simply unhappy with how much they as individuals have to pay.

> In Cincinnati, it's illegal to ride a bike on a sidewalk, which makes sense, it's not very pleasant for the cyclist or pedestrians.

It doesn't make any sense to protect pedestrians from having to deal with larger, faster, heavier vehicles, that may injure them, by forcing cyclists into the street, where they have to deal with larger, faster, heavier vehicles that may kill them.
I would venture a guess that apple/icloud accounts are the highest % account type amongst iPhone holders. All sorts of people have reasons for not having gmail / facebook / etc., but apple account setup is pretty prominent in device setup.
I was also wondering how Apple will decide which feature will go to iPadOS vs iOS. The files app is a great example. Will there be a new trickle down path from iPadOS to iOS?
This feels like it could become a repeat of Android Honeycomb, but iOS is a much more mature operating system now than Android was at the time, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
It's lower friction in that instead of having to click through an OAuth screen (and possibly re-enter your Google password), you just auth with FaceID/TouchID. And if you're writing an iOS app, then obviously the user has an Apple account.
I already looked at plants over my four decades of life and they are not that interesting unless you need them for something. And you rarely do.

Go to Berlin and see how amazing dockless bikes are for getting around when the city doesn't artificially limit their availability. It's trivial to find them when you need them.

The problem here isn't the product. It's governance.
On the other hand, if Apple succeeds, this gives a clear route to push for other services that work the same way.
How would you spend it?

To be honest, at least once a year I'd probably go to a technical conference.
They still get user data. They just can’t tie it to a real person outside the scope of their app.

So what does this mean for people who support progressive tax brackets? Since they think they should pay a smaller share of their income than others - and specifically that those better off should pay more than they do.
I think this is the right approach: to require third-party companies to have access to a dominant company’s network after the network has reached a certain threshold of size or age. I like to use the craigslist.org example: a company that is still dominant basically because it is free and was launched in 1995. We’re stuck using the ugly craigslist UI because their network is the oldest and biggest. Several companies have attempted to innovate on the craigslist.org experience but were forced to stop due to lawsuits (e.g. padmapper, 3taps, RadPad). If we wish to allow competition and innovation in the classified advertising space, then I don’t think there is a good dimension to split up the craigslist company (by metro area? by apartments vs for sale?). Instead, we should promote competition by allowing competitors to access their APIs for free or for a reasonable price. The network that a web company creates should not belong to one company forever.
You're describing lawful combat, which had rules. For instance - you'd never see a nobleman kill a noblewoman without recourse. I'm talking the taking of another human's life without reason or justification - just a wanton disregard for human life and no need to rationalize the death.
