Doesn’t work as soon as you’re big enough to target.

The company I work for makes a SaSS forum product, and while we do have multiple spam prevention methods (akismet, stopforumspam, honeypot, a hidden input), there’s enough stuff out there that has targeted our platform that a Recaptcha on the registration form is needed.

We haven’t need it on any other forms yet though. After registration it’s all handled by the other methods and various moderation tools.
It's called the "golden rule", they who have the gold make the rules.

OK, seriously, they don't technically get to decide what makes a binding agreement, a judge does that. But US law and US judges are very business-friendly. I mean there's the whole invented crime of "identity theft", whereby a bank who is defrauded by an individual gets to pass off their victimhood to a completely uninvolved third party.

My wife used to work at a cycling advocacy organization that was often asked for feedback on bike share implementation, Ford included. I was skeptical, too, but what they told her was that they've already reached market saturation in urban areas, so if they want to grow their customer base, they have to look at forms of transportation that aren't automobiles.
So where's the spec 1.0? All I see is old <1.0 versions.

> Thicker wires will heat up less for a given amount of current, increasing the carrying capacity of the circuit. One solution to increasing the effective thickness of a conductor is to “bundle” several conductors a few inches apart from one another, allowing for a larger increase in current for less cost than a conductor that is simply double the size.

In power engineering at university we were taught that the separation of the wires within a conductor, to increase the effective diameter, is primarily about reducing the self-inductance rather than dissipating heat. From memory, it's along the lines that the separation effectively increases the diameter of the conductor, which in turn reduces the intensity of the magnetic field, reduces the self-inductance and allows more power transfer for a given voltage and current.

The article got it right in saying spacing the wires gives an increase in current for a given cross-section of conductor, but the main reason is reduced inductance rather than the reduction in resistance due to it running cooler. There will be some reduction in resistive losses due to cooler conductors, but the main gain is the reduction in reactive power, which otherwise causes current flow with no power transfer.
do you think they would have anything to gain by disclosing the actual nitty gritty business intelligence?

"How would it be for you if instead of a ban, a heavy disposal fee was added at the time of purchase to fund extensive waste sorting and recycling locally?"

how about the recycling companies pay us instead? we provide them with the raw materials, they profit. see plastic bottles' recycling all across europe. or the (ancient) glass bottles.

Aside from the issue of trust, the site does a terrible job of explaining how bad arbitration is.

The arbiter is permitted the following:
* To make an arbitrary judgement outside the scope of the agreement.
* The arbiter is not required to follow any law but the arbitration act. They are permitted a manifest disregard for the law.
* The arbiter is not required to be fair or impartial. They aren't a judge.
* The arbiter may be blacklisted by companies if they rule against the corporation. The companies know who rules against them.
* The arbitrations are secret. You may research how the arbiter acted in the past. The company knows, though. You just don't.

To engage in a corporate controlled mandatory binding arbitration is to leave the rule of law and enter into a dystopia where even the courts of law are privatized. Consumer protection laws? Gone. State consumer laws? Gone.
I think this is one application of the “minimized pane” example the article showed: applications still have a way to show more data than just an indicator.

Alternatively, you could let panes be resized smaller than their “native width”, and get the same effect as overlapping.
There are also static analysis tools for JavaScript. For example Google closure compiler. Which can infer about 80% of all types.
Then give the user the letter up front instead of hiding it in small text. This site has NO written all over it!
And the bottom line - "30 percent of the plastic eliminated by the ban was coming back in the form of trash bags". So, the policy was 70 percent successful. Why then all the hand-wringing?

In Hawaii myself and a friend have been working to convince the local tourism industry to organize into a self-regulating body which aims to aid marine science, educate the public through workshops and exposure to wildlife, and to do so without adversely impacting sea creatures' abilities to perform their essential life functions. There were some people on Moku O Keawe working on something similar for manta tourism.

* Mario Maker uses a touch screen.

Ok, well 'street fighter', you need to input very complex and precise controls. Or pokemon on the gameboy, or a JRPG with its labyrinthine menus and options + 100's of complex difficult games.

* sliding out a keyboard takes precious seconds

As opposed to the minutes you lose fumbling with a 'keyboard' you cant feel (or see, cus ure finger is in front of it)

* If you go full-on Blackberry, you loose valuable screen real-estate.

If that 'real estate' is also trying to act as a physical interface, then its not valuable real estate anymore, its garbage-land, its acting as the worst interface imaginable.
Ive heard that expression before and I think what the phone designers mean when they say it is: if you add a keyboard it no longer looks like a cool shiny sci-fi gadget.

I dont get how people are ok with touchsceen interfaces, they're a haptic nothing. People were livid about the IBM PCjr's chiclet keyboard. Even that is infinitely better than 0.

Interesting point. Here from Radvocate (partner on this product). We currently help consumers take action under their contracts with 20+ wireless / cable / ISP brands. We are up and running fine.

I'm an avid cyclist (I commute and race), so I didn't think I'd made much use of a bike share membership, but it's been amazing. Any time I'm out and about without my bike and need to get somewhere that's only a mile or two, I just hop on a bike share bike; I don't have to wait for a bus, or pay Uber/Lyft rates, I just go. My annual membership is less than $8/mo.
Ah yes, and Shibboleth is another I should've thought of in earlier comment.

I think you're absolutely right in particular with #2.

But if it had come originally, alongside DNS, 'everything has an address, everyone has an identity', it might've been an unquestionable fact of the internet.

Orgs can't silo you in to their alternate net where they have a more desirable domain name, because it's just not practical or user friendly.

I just think it might have been so for user identity.

I'd just look up atherosclerosis on Google to be honest. To state the basic steps in a straightforward fashion: damage of the surface endothelium, entry and oxidation of cholesterol particles and possibly other circulating junk, entrance of macrophages due to immune signaling, necrosis of extravasated macrophages, structural weakness, breaking of the endothelium, thrombosis, infarction, death of whatever was getting the blood flow distally.

There a lot of knobs at each step but that's basically it.
Leadership can be exercised by non-leaders, sure. But the kind of leader the GP is talking about is an authority figure which tends to be centralized in a given domain.

As is their right.

The city fucked up hugely by making an exclusive deal with Ford/Motive (acquired by Lyft).

If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at SF government.

The rule of law means that you don't get to change contracts you've signed.

It was a bad contract but SF Government does many bad things, like repressive zoning and banning scooters.

Go vote them out of the office.
Just a layman here but that seems like a misinterpretation of the statute? The idea of the statute seems to be that the government will not void, nullify, or refuse to enforce the terms of an electronic contract. It does not state that in any given contract, private parties must accept the terms signed in any form whatsoever -- that's still left as something for those people to agree on, and Chase very clearly spelled out that that's not valid for the contract. So the "reason" for the invalidity of a contract wouldn't be that it has an electronic signature, but that one of the parties simply didn't follow the terms it set for validity (whatever they were -- in this case, that they be personally signed, and mailed by the actual account holder). So I'm very curious how legal opinions interpret the statute otherwise, since I don't see any hint that it was intended to be interpreted as allowing one of the parties to change the signing terms to include electronic signatures.
They can patent minocycline and it's derivatives.

If they made a brand name minocycline, no one would ever use it because it's already generic. However if they can make a derivative that is more efficacious (even if it's only slightly different), they can brand that and sell it under patent for a while.
At first glance it seems worth reading properly tomorrow. Except, '1 April', is it a gag RFC? (In a way, I suppose, it doesn't matter - those tend to be as worthwhile!)

Scala: Python + dataclasses [+ mypy] offers a programming experience close to pragmatic Scala. The tradeoff becomes:

* worse performance

* lack of immutable vectors, alleviated via style conventions

* rarely, awkward lambdas

vs.

* wide pool of people familiar with the language

* lack of JVM lockin: Scala native is not there yet, the library ecosystem is all JVM.

* [good] batteries included

* much better reflection

* access to modern ML

* gradual typing

* no actors

Rust: Manual memory management is verbose and distracting.

Go: Manual exception handling is verbose and distracting.

Kotlin: JVM lock-in.

Swift: Apple lock-in.

You're painting Lyft to be the bad guys because they're suing. It seems like SFMTA is trying to weasel out of a contract. Lyft isn't trying to prevent people from continuing to commute by bikeshare; they're trying to secure their ROI on their Motivate acquisition through the exclusivity contract with SF.

Have you read the contract terms in the article you're linking to? SFMTA is saying the contract was for 'docked bikes only' while Lyft is saying it was for a Bike Sharing Program, which could include docked or dockless bikes. Lyft does a good job describing what 'Bike sharing' is in that document so it will be up to the courts to decide if they're right.

-

“Bike sharing” is a public biking system concept that allows customers to rent a bike on a short-term basis from one section of a city and leave it in another section of the city that same day.

-

The Term Sheet provided, among other terms, that Motivate was to be the exclusive operator of any bike share system in the Participating Cities for at least ten (10) years.

The Term Sheet provided (emphasis added):
“During the Term of this Agreement, Motivate shall have the exclusive right to operate a bike sharing program that utilizes public property and public right of way anywhere within San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose and Emeryville.”

A lot of comments still up are even more directly critical of Beijing than that post. Mods flagged it for "vote manipulation."

So I don't know what to make of this.

A sympathetic voting ring could have boosted the comment without the commenter knowing, confusing everyone here.

Or maybe Tencent really is picking specific posts to complain about to Reddit admins, or planting mods in high profile subs (but those mods can only catch so much).

Is there any way to sample which comments have been deleted by mods, to see if there's a consistent bias?

Gravity is not uniform everywhere on earth, because the Earth's density is not uniform. (This is ignoring the other consideration that the earth is not spherical. Because the Earth bulges at the equator, gravity is also weaker towards the equator and stronger at the poles.) Satellites[1] or humans on the ground can track variance in the gravity field. This is normally done to find underground deposits of valuable minerals or metals, as may be slightly denser or less dense than the equivalent volume of earth/stone.[2] I think OP was wondering if the presence of the impact site would show up on such a survey of Earth's gravity field.

I bike daily in San Francisco and that hasn't been my experience. My mental heuristics for risk to injury for me are, from least to most dangerous:

- City buses. Slow and predictable.

- Normal passenger vehicles.

- Lyft/Uber. Will often swerve right in front of me while they're pulling over. (Presumably because they're watching their phone to make sure they're dropping off in the right spot, or watching the sidewalk looking for their next fare.)

- Large pickup trucks. Not sure if it's the ride height that gives you the illusion you're further away or just a personality trait of their drivers, but a disproportionate number of my close calls are pickup trucks blasting by at high speed with no clearance.

- Old beater cars with dents/stuff falling off. These drivers can behave very unpredictably.
If managers only exist to break ties why not simply create teams with odd numbers of members and they would no longer be required?
Side note, arbitration is cheaper than litigating in court. The only thing opting out affords consumers is easier access to class action suits. If you think you might bring an individual claim against Chase, arbitration is cheaper and a more level playing field (no countersuit strategy) than state or federal court.

TL; DR arbitration is not the corporate-controller enigma many seem to think it is. You trade off real benefits by opting out of Chase's mutual binding arbitration terms.

Most people should opt out, but not everyone. (Nobody should opt out unthinkingly.)

>we give users a way to download a form letter instead

But you don't just let them download it. You make them give you their email address first.

Edit: Haha! No wait, you have to click through two levels of "Don't want to give us your info? Click here to get the letter". The first one asks for you email, only after the second do you actually get the letter. Why? They already said "dont want to...". Just give it to them!

Edit2: Also the form letter, prepopulated with the Chase customer service P.O. box address, is another scam pitfall. Anyone using this kind of form letter should always check the address with the financial institution before sending any forms, especially that include PII/financial information.
It's kind of a weird argument, considering that nothing in the Bill of Rights (for example) is earned. There are things we have "by right" according to law and that's okay.
There was a Dutch journalist who went to Poland and saw those recycling centers just burn the plastics in open pits.

This is why countries need to clean up their own mess and not sell their waste to a foreign company to be recycled offshore. But out of sight out of mind I guess.
Any advantages or downsides to opting out of Chase’s arbitration if Chase sues you for credit non-payment? I read the sites FAQs (only mentioned class action and if one or more people sue Chase) and appears that situation is likely not relevant for this opt-out?
I've used these bikes in San Francisco several times on visits, they are great for getting around the downtown area. Public transit is 2.50 per ride ($3 cash starting July 1st), so it's cheaper as long as you are in their service area. The one thing is you're limited to 30 minutes before surcharges apply.

You used to only be able to purchase 1-day, 3-day, or 5-day passes, it was about the same price as long as you used it at least twice a day. At $2 per ride, it's much more flexible, so you can choose transit or bikes depending on the weather or whatever.

I see you've updated your post, but for completeness I'll list their plans (from https://www.lyft.com/bikes/bay-wheels/pricing):

Monthly no-commitment is $15 and you get unlimited 45-minute rentals. If I go work downtown for a week even, I'd get this. 45 minutes is great for a little after work exploration. When I'm in SF for business, I often bike somewhere after work (along the Embarcadero, Market street, South Beach, or around Chinatown), then drop off the bike, walk around some more, get food, then get another bike back to my hotel.

Edited to add: looks like they now have docking stations in the Haight-Ashbury, so you could get a bike to Golden Gate park, switch bikes, have 45 min around the park, and switch again to get back downtown.

Annual is $149 per year for unlimited 45-minute rentals. That is really cheap for a maintenance-free bike whenever you're in the city. I used to commute with my bike on Caltrain, and this would make it not worth the hassle (depends on how you get to your home station and how close your office is to one of their docking stations).

Also, monthly and annual plans might be paid for by your employer as part of your transit benefits.
