That's simply not true. Cycling in many European countries is no more dangerous than being an occupant in a motor vehicle and a significant proportion of cyclist injuries and deaths are caused by motor vehicles.

Proper cycling and walking infrastructure combined with a reduction of car usage in cities makes cycling an extremely safe activity. In addition the extra health benefits from physical exercise more than offsets any increase in risk from a collision at a societal level.

As for cyling not being usable in many weather conditions - perhaps in extreme winters, but in London there're very few days in the year, if any, that I can't happily ride the 22km round trip to work and back.
admittedly i havent read the whole article, only the abstract, but: assuming that children from larger families will partially inherit the trait for having larger families themselves seems like a leap to me - arent family sizes in less developed societies generally considered to be either due to religious superstition or because more children = more workers to provide for the family a la victorian times? Once these factors diminish as a society develops, I would argue (from a position of ignorance) that the "traits" governing a bigger family (fertility) are environmental rather than genetic.

How will client libs that do connection pooling handle this? If a client opens a pool of 50 connections, will they be identified as 50 different clients, and receive 50 different pushes for invalidation? I guess the client libs will have to build a layer to balance caching on top of the pool.
In case of bicycles, isn't the danger coming mainly from the fact that they are often used on roads alongside cars?
But if taking a car gets cheaper, people who now walk, cycle, or take a bus will start taking cars.

Also, with self-driving cars that are cheaper, I expect that people who now drive a car to the suburbs will move further out of town to get cheaper housing because a) driving is cheaper and b) self-driving would mean they can do things on their commute (work, watch Netflix, etc)

I think the uncomfortable truth is that, to fight climate change, we must give up some luxuries. Flying, driving a car, electricity, low priced almost disposable clothing, electronics gadgets, etc. must get more expensive.
ISP's are salty that DoH will force them to buy expensive filtering kit that actually scans every packet rather than their current setup of a few lines in named.conf on their DNS servers.

Said expensive filtering kit would force many ISP's to reorganize their network architecture, because many don't have a single physical location that all traffic is routed via.
As someone that has written thousands of tests - what I disagree with you on is when writing unit tests those application components should have their own tests. Then you can cleanly mock them. Even if they are utilities etc.

Same goes for application code in the same service or whatever. Mock those calls and only test your unit of code.

If you don't do this things can be fine. But at some point the code base will become unwieldy and changing code in one place will break tests all over the place.

Integration tests are fine and they have their place but are not a substitute for proper unit tests.
common sense and observation, its relatively easier for a person overall to make connections during schooling years. Once people pair up and disperse into the workplace and especially after they start up families it becomes much more difficult for the odd man out.

> People with Asperger's or otherwise on the autism spectrum can be huge "assholes" by the definitions here. Does autism make you unemployable?

It's my understanding that on average it's harder to get a job and some kind of jobs look out of reach.

Also, is the population ratio of Asperger/autism such that the definition of asshole should be reworded ?
With WordPress, you need a server at all times and the HTML is generated each time you try to access your site. Sure, you can use caching plugins, but it only makes things complex. Eg. You need to now keep those plugins updated at all times, along with WordPress itself. A static site doesn't need a server and can work right off a CDN. It's blazingly fast and it's virtually unhackable. There are no security updates whatsoever you need to keep track of.
Solar is the only solution.
Bikes would be much safer after reaching critical mass, where it would make sense to have dedicated infrastructure for them.

On the way home, we had to make a stop at an American airport. If someone had seen or found the feather in my luggage, would it have been considered an offence?

This undermines the very concept of "law and order". There "must" be restrictions on behaviour if it is intrusive, offensive, inflamatory, indecent etc. I think it is okay to have an enforced "code of conduct" to prevent assholery.
>e.g. only blocking actual criminal content, which is all youtube have done before this, right?

Youtube has always blocked porn. Youtube has had a other restrictions as well, for example at first all videos had to be under 10 minutes. In response to criticism of disturbing videos of children, youtube deleted 150k videos of children in disturbing situations[1]. Read the guidelines from 2009[2], there's various things banned there that aren't illegal.

It will be different for different people perhaps, but personally I prefer seeing someone every few years even over chatting regularly.

I think you just have to look at how people treat each other online vs irl when not necessarily friendly (ie. work) to know that spending time face to face is essential for healthy social interaction.
Nature is full of poisons too. Sugar is one! (In the right big and/or chronic dose. Organisms have to deal with glycation damage all the time.)
I never got anywhere near a path to actual mastery, but I did enough concentration meditation to go into the mind states where I felt like oh, this is what it's about.

At first, meditation was all about just coping with boredom and muscle pain (from sitting still) and trying to return to the breath while thoughts constantly kept emerging. This was not especially fun, but the sheer difficulty of just sitting still seemed to make it a good challenge, like I clearly had a lot to learn.

Even during this phase I usually felt better and more clear after meditation, so I liked doing it even though it wasn't really satisfying in the moment.

Then over months I started to see what it means to let go of everything except the focus on the meditation object, usually the breath but I also found it very interesting to meditate on the visual appearance of a small unicolored circle ("kasina").

And I learned about jhana/dhyana practice which really inspired me to take concentration seriously. Also I discovered the benefits for meditation of just being nice to people and animals and maintaining a good mood, clean house, etc—reducing ambient stress and "bad karma."

Eventually I started to actually get into those jhana states. It starts by getting very relaxed and concentrated and then starting to notice how there are some subtle pleasant sensations around your bodily perception, maybe your belly or palms or somewhere; then you shift your concentration to take that pleasure as its object, which causes it to increase and spread. It's no exaggeration that this can be a state of pervasive sensory pleasure, like your whole body is full of a kind of fizzy happiness. It's easy to get so excited that you fall out of the state, so the practice becomes to stay calm within it. And then the fizziness subsides into a more calm pleasure, and then it becomes not even really pleasure but just contentment like a peaceful lake without wind.

By the way concentration in these contexts shouldn't be understood as a kind of forceful and strained effort, rather the opposite. But you probably just have to learn through trial and error. I'd try to write more descriptively but it would probably get long and tedious.
Why didn't they use LLVM?
It's nice that that's possible for you, but I'm afraid it is not universally possible for everyone and everycity. E.g. bike access to our university (plus institutes etc.) when coming from the city is via narrow but heavy traffic road (to university, a bunch of suburbs, two autobahns), or an adjacent pedestrian path (with a lot of studends and badly trimmed overgrowth), or through the hills with forests and no direct path.

The solution here would add & maintain bike lanes (or a stand-alone bike road), but for the above example that would mean deforesting and cutting into 2 or 3 km of hillside. And for the duration of that effort, suspending the primary road between the city and {university, one suburb, one autobahn access} which also happens to be the secondary connection to {two additional suburbs, another autobahn access}.
I agree it's social. In more conservative countries girls receive an unambiguous encouragement to be wives and mothers first.
They also say "despite the decision to invest in NAT technology, Aussie Broadband has also decided it needs to speed up its IPv6 rollout".

Despite IPv6, you still need CGNAT, because not every site/service is available over IPv6. It's fine as long as it's a stopgap, not the main solution.
Thanks. Not sure why I got downvotes for asking a question though.

Also, I recently built http://blog.winricklabs.com for example which uses my own static site generator. I didn't use wordpress just because it'd be overkill.
I found this very strange as well, so I skipped down to the section that discussed this:

> In countries that have undergone the demographic transition, twin, adoption and family studies have pointed to a substantial genetic effect on fertility (Fisher, 1930; Kirk et al., 2001; Kohler, Rodgers, & Christensen, 1999; Murphy, 1999; Murphy & Knudsen, 2002; Rodgers, Hughes, et al., 2001a; Rodgers, Kohler, et al., 2001b). For example, Fisher (Fisher, 1930) found that a woman could expect 0.21 additional children for each additional child that her mother had, and 0.11 additional children for each additional child that her grandmother had. From this, Fisher suggested that the heritability of fertility at that time was 0.4 (40% of the variation in fertility is explained by genetic factors). Summarising research conducted through to 1999, Murphy (Murphy, 1999) noted that the heritability of fertility averaged around 0.2 in post-demographic transition societies, with the estimates increasing in recent periods. Kohler et al. (Kohler et al., 1999) examined data on Danish twins born in the periods 1870 to 1910 and 1953 to 1964. The first period covers the demographic transition and the second the end of the baby boom. In the first cohort, the heritability of fertility in women varied from close to zero in the pre-transition period to as high as 0.4 to 0.5 during the demographic transition. Estimates of heritability remained strong for the 1953 to 1964 cohort. From an analysis of data for Danish twins from the 1950s, Rodgers et al. (Rodgers, Kohler, et al., 2001b), attributed slightly more than one quarter of the variation in fertility to genetic factors. Rodgers and Doubty (Rodgers & Doughty, 2000) found a median heritability of 0.33 in a contemporary United States population, and heritabilities for underlying desires, ideals and expectations ranging between 0.24 and 0.76. Where measured, the variance attributable to shared environment in low-fertility populations was generally lower than the genetic effects (Kirk et al., 2001; Kohler et al., 1999; Kohler, Rodgers, Miller, Skytthe, & Christensen, 2006; Zietsch, Kuja-Halkola, Walum, & Verweij, 2014). However, the relative balance of genetic and shared environmental factors can change quickly over time (Kohler et al., 1999; Kohler et al., 2006).
The person you are responding to is talking about hard to detect parasites, not just worms. Given that they are hard to detect, I don't think it is reasonable to assume that buying "quality barf food" will solve this issue.
Could someone with more time than me summarize how they reached the conclusion that fertility was heritable? It seems very counter-intuitive unless I'm misunderstanding the precise meaning of "heritable" that enables them to draw this conclusion.
Totally agree. Microservices is an optimization, not an architechure that you start off with. They can absolutely kill your ability to iterate if your boundaries suddenly change, which happens all the time if your startup is pivoting

GDPR is absolutely insane. I was working on a European website where a user would upload a product info along with a photo of the product. I had to abandon it, because I'd have to somehow filter all uploaded content for copyright and other violations, as I'd be liable under this new law.
>I wonder why HN always has comments like these

It's a work related disease. A coder must consider all corner cases in advance. There is no judge to decipher the spirit of a program.
I believe the default on retail set ups (defaut for MacOS, iOS and Windows) plus router is random addressing. So surely it may be different on certain corporate or university networks. But at least there is a guy supposed to be paid to handle security.
Yes, I’m sure those iot devices will use infallible privacy extensions... Nah, they’ll probably expose their mac, which will make it trivial to scan for them.

Truth is, right now iot devices are protected by nat (your router) and maybe cgnat too (if your isp is good enough and provides that service). With ipv6 those devices will lie exposed to the wan. I hardly see how that’s an improvement.

Also don’t trust regular devices. Windows disabled privacy extensions because of a bug (not sure if it’s fixed already). https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/57... — I trust my router’s nat much more: it can’t be disabled because of a bug ;-)
Note that not every machine I SSH into has git installed or provides me with permission to install it.

Disclaimer: I recently made one of these "dotfiles" repositories anyways, to take of that what you will.
The other potential vice is non-control stock market and purely monetary investments, which shares many of the features with gambling. Lack of transparency, design to take your money and not pay dividends, being unable to actually change policy of said organization. Also lies and marketing.

This opposed to physical, direct investments which are much easier to control, but more labor intensive. Control stock (as in having a control stake) is in-between, and extremely rich people game.
If you are allowed to git clone random repositories and execute binaries from them (presumably pulling more random dependencies) then I'm going to say you do not (or should not) manage what most people expect when "lots of different machines" is what is said.
Rebuilds are generally a bad idea, and I've never had a good experience doing that. Apart from what you've already stated, it's kind of an insult to the team before you, that you just deleted their code.

Replacing a system is also not really solving a problem that the business cares about. So this enevitably leads to feature creep, "If you're rebuilding it, can you add X, Y, Z...". This then leads raises the bar even higher...

The better alternative is to modularize the system somehow and replace seperate chunks... but that's easier said than done
If it could, I wouldn't mind. It didn't, and then went into a loop allowing me to "escalate" it to a real human which turned out to be the same bot, only with a different name.

I didn't say they were using just one address. I was saying they are putting 100s or 1000s of customers behind one single address (which is happening in Europe for years already, with UPC for example). Of course they have several IPv4 addresses.

This is amazing, but as a technical guy I cannot change/plan/design city routes (I wish I could!). I forgot to add to the question description but I have added in the comment, that I cannot eradicate traffic jams as that involves government/politicians/city planner etc, while traffic aversion is more dependent on using technology, I thinks that's where I fit.

But anyways thanks for link, I got to know something that I had not known earlier.
In 2016 there were already usb-c peripherals that you could've opted for though. I've used a thunderbolt/usb-c monitor since then, which uses 1 cable for video data and mbp charging. This convenience alone has sold me on usb-c as the future.

A solution to the problem of man-made waste lasting potentially hundreds of years and causing damage to the eco-system at the cost of temporarily annoying a few people too lazy to decant the contents of the packet into a bowl or plate or just put up with the noise as they consume their junk food is pretty much a perfect solution, isn't it?
1) physically impossible - large distances, time consuming, fear

2) it is hard to discuss many (if not most) personal issues in personal or in group meetings. Suicidal thoughts, depression, life advice - you cannot simply go out there and discuss all these during your first/tenth meeting with a person in private.
Does https://golang.org/doc/faq#What_compiler_technology_is_used_... answer your question (I interpreted it as "why doesn't the Go compiler use LLVM?")?
Yeah, the doubling of your bet tactic when you lose is an old Blackjack strategy. But with the introduction of a max bet you have to look at the scale difference between the min/max bets, usually it means for example that you only need to lose 5-7 times in a row to lose everything.
I'm 'stuck' on Internode as they're still the only carrier that I can get that'll offer IPv6 on NBN fibre for a decent price. Even the rest of TPG's sub-brands don't offer v6. It's painful.

> Contrary to article it does allow switching tracks/radio stations.

I think I've pressed every single button on the wheel and all the sticks. Still haven't found a way. If you need to read the user's manual to figure out such a simple task, it's a failure of design.

For example, I would think that the right thumb stick would do that. Because it literally does nothing. But no.

In the end thanks to HN and elsewhere I found the wheel. And of course it's just as abysmal as the rest of the design: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20354178

> ne thing missing from the article is that the main infotainment system and Android Auto can be controlled via the knob/wheel controller visible in the photos.

Yeah, no. It's much worse than glancing at the screen and reaching to touch it. Because you have to constantly look at the screen while manipulating the knob. Because at any point in time you don't know where the current selection is and what actions will be triggered by activating the knob.

Unless, of course, you set it once (on the "change track" button) and never move it.

> But how I (180cm height) or my wife (163cm height) accidentally press the cruise control/speed limit button? I have no idea.

Having it done three times already, I also have no idea, but I did (I'm 178cm). Possible reasons:

- While parked I had to reach to the passenger seat from the driver's door (the button is extremely easy to deactivate)

- Fumbling with my water bottle when trying to put it into the compartment under the hand rest

- Leaning over to the right and putting my elbow down for something (probably reaching for something or scratching my leg)

However, "I can't imagine how" cannot be a justification for this design decision. The reasoning is simple: when you are already driving, how do you turn cruise control on?
That is still looking at pre-1970s populations, where the female workforce even in advanced countries was much smaller than today and the religious element was still largely hegemonic.
I rarely gamble, but when I do I like the following strategy:

Start with X. Whenever you get above X, skim the surplus and store separately.

You've now capped your losses at X (aka the price of the game night) and feel like you're winning when you can skim some money off your pool.

Can't come quickly enough in the UK as we have a significantly lower percentage of tree cover compared to Europe, and I love forests dearly. It was said that after WW1 there was barely a tree left standing in the country, and we've never recovered. It pains me that the average Brit seems to think a green field is nature, whereas many are virtual deserts in terms of biodiversity. I'm just hoping we get a decent mix of trees as part of this planting and that it is not subverted by commercial interests into massive monoculture plantations as was the case in Scotland.
