The reason these behaviors are frustrating to drivers is that bicycles are hard to overtake. They’re unpredictable and fragile compared to a car, and so the driver has to give them a wide berth, often having to wait behind them for a long time until there’s a break in oncoming traffic to get around them.

That’s not so much of a problem, as that’s the same with every slow-moving vehicle. Bicycles, however, are the only ones that will re-overtake while the car is standing in a queue, forcing the driver to do all of that work again instead of just relaxing into the normal flow of traffic.

When they overtake a standing queue, Bicyclists, from the point of view of drivers, are acting against the common interest of smoothly flowing traffic for their own gain and taking advantage of a temporary situation to screw up the natural order of faster vehicles at the front of the line and slower ones at the back.

The obvious solution here is separate infrastructure for cars and bicycles as they have such different acceleration profiles that there will inevitably be problems putting them in the same space. But as long as bicyclists don’t extend the common courtesy of remaining overtaken in shared situations, they will be viewed as more worthy of punishment than appeasement.

The sibling fields of tax evasion and tax avoidance are both full of creativity.

If you want more technical examples, taxation systems that tried to get hard at personal transportation while mostly omitting business use led to both the SUV and to modern diesel. We may dislike both outcomes and making a bigger car more comfortable isn't exactly difficult, but the technology in modern diesel engines is absolutely amazing, even if adjusted for cheating. And clearly evidence to taxation influence, as it was exclusively developed in countries that went for fuel type instead of vehicle mass for being soft on commercial transport.

PS: and just think of the things some Finns are supposedly willing to do to extract a little bang from a given quantity of alcohol, taxation is the exclusive driver of that.
Hi, I am from The Netherlands. Based on my experience in my country I have the following to add.

The main issue you have is a chicken egg (network effect esque) lack of bicycle drivers.

Once there are enough you can defend their rights (safety and accessibility) easier. Safety is first for bicyclists in The Netherlands. Hence no helm necessary. E-bike go pretty fast though and with elder people preferring these, amount of bikes may increase.

There are several solutions to this problem you described each with their drawbacks.

You can speed limit. For example to 30 km/hour. Aldo increases safety for playing kids.

You can disallow parking. Variations are one side or both sides, time based parking allowed (e.g. at night OK), allowed to stop with engine running, and possibly others.

You can repurpose the road to a one way street. There are two variations on this: with allowing bicycles one way and with allowing bicycles two way. Another variation is not allowing bicycles at all but I cover that later.

You can broaden the road. Not always viable, especially in city, but you be able to combine it with repurposing the housing.

You can make the road for bicyclists only. Do this too much and car drivers will complain about accessibility.

You can disallow cars in your city with too high Co2 emissions.

You can disallow bicycles. Useful at highways, near highways, or at choke points.

The main culprit is the FAA. Private companies should be expected to take shortcuts for short-term gain. That's why there is government regulation and oversight. It's the oversight part that failed here. Yes, Boeing also failed, but that's less worrying.

I personally believe morality and self interest strongly overlap over the long term, but short term they are largely independent conditional on the probability of getting caught...

Humans might have too short lifespans, memories and limited rationality for the long term benefit of morality to be strongly in our individual self interest though... one of the possible benefits of anti-aging and cognitive enhancement tech is it might incentivize us to be more moral all other things equal as a side effect.

Slightly tangential to the article but still important, it says

"Some compilers infer that they can eliminate checks based on erroneous code elsewhere in the program. For example, [obviously dodgy code snipped]some compilers will decide that ptr == NULL must always be false, since otherwise it would be incorrect to dereference it in call_fn()"

So why does the compiler not report this error, or better still reject the code outright? It seems to turn a compile-time-detected fatal error into a critically dangerous runtime error.

No it isn't. It failed to deploy at all and is currently a misshapen mass of orbital debris that doesn't even slightly resemble his intention.

The cutest device for this came from Neuroware in 2011 - neko cat ears connected to an EEG sensor. The system could pick up basic brain states - relaxed, attentive, startled - and moved the ears accordingly.

I saw a group of cosplayers wearing these back then. Someone mentioned the name of one person in the group, and their ears went up. Watching someone play a video game showed them attentive while playing a level, and relaxed while the next level was loading. So, in a limited way, it worked.

(Problems were 1) cost, about US$200, 2) fragile mechanical design, 3) too heavy 4) short battery life 5) ears too big. Someone ought to try this again.)
Good job! Kudos

You've confused intrinsic value of X with the cost of building X. Let me illustrate with an example.

A 1000 tonnes mountain of cow poo has near zero intrinsic value (perhaps even negative because it's a biohazard; people and government(s) are gonna get pissed and tell you to clean it up). That does not mean it didn't cost anything to create it, it was probably somewhat expensive to set up.
You think older movies were better because of the time filter - we remember the classics and forget the crap.

You think movies you saw in your youth were great because they were original to you - you hadn't seen all the previous movies and plays they were inspired by or remakes of.

Once you manage to overtake a tractor once, it doesn’t ever re-overtake you and make you do that work again. On sections of road with large amounts of traffic and stoplights, I’ve had to wait behind and overtake the same bicycle 5 times before I finally got far enough ahead. Most bicycle encounters are non-issues, but it’s these extended ones where it seems to the driver that they’ll never be done with this one particular bicyclist that stick in the memory and cause long-term resentment.
True, but I don’t have a democratic vote in China, and I do have one in the EU.

> I’m just wondering, what’s value does affiliate marketing deliver?

For most pages, I'd say very little to the customer, a lot to the merchant: the merchant can't claim things about the product for legal reasons, can't make up fake reviews/testimonials etc, so they outsource that task to the affiliate. Of course, they don't say "just claim some bullshit", but they accept that it's done, and it will be done because there's a lot of incentive to do it and none to not do it.

What I'm really surprised with is the whole couponing sector of affiliate marketing. It doesn't provide any value to the merchant, because people typically look for coupons after they've decided to buy something at a specific store. You may get fewer abandoned carts by offering rebates and coupons, but there's no reason to pay some middleman to serve them.
Some car drivers will even block bikes (both the motorized and pedal-poweered kind) from lane splitting, even in hurisdictions where it is legal.

I like Apple products and software. Why would I switch?
Valuations are not tied to intrinsic value... whatever that means.

“Value” is measured by what someone paid. Nothing more, nothing less. If I buy an apple from you for $5, that means both of us valued the apple at $5. The end.

To understand how meaningless the notion of intrinsic value is, ask yourself what the intrinsic value of water is? Drinking it? Bathing with it? Swimming in it? Cooking with it? Watering a garden with it? Washing a car with it?

Different people value water for different uses at different times for different amounts... there is no dollar value intrinsic to the water itself.

Now consider someone who isn't a particular fan of Apple sitting opposite of you in a dark room. It is shouting "APPLE! APPLE! APPLE!"
You're going into a lot of mental gymnastics over this, which just shows how crucial APM is. There's quite simply a minimum APM required to micro, macro and handle multiple fronts at a sufficiently good level. And it's not 100 APM. And the more APM you have to spare, the more your possible decision space grows on tactical and strategic levels. Hell, the previous AlphaStar matches show what kind of ridiculous things can be done with 1000 APM. It's not just some magical number. Your armies become more effective the more APM you have.

I always thought that a "tourist" visa allows you to do "work" for your non-US company, it just prevents you to from "working" for a US company, or being paid by a US company for work done during your visit.

I entered the US dozens of times on an ESTA for work reasons, I always declare I'm there for "business", offering detail if needed, and never had any issue.
> valuations make sense as they are tied to the intrinsic value of things

do you seriously not see the circular nature of your argument?

there is no "intrinsic value", there is only price at which a buyer meets a seller.

And also a rabid anti-imperialist and fond of comparing the United States to ancient Rome. One of the most outspoken aspects of his life was criticizing the United States whenever the gears of war began to turn, and not just the government, but the press, the people, and the culture.

He had a complete falling out with Christopher Hitchens later in life over Bush's 2nd Iraq War. At one point he saw Hitchens as his intellectual equal, and someone who he believed would carry on fighting against American imperialism after Vidal's death. But once Hitchens started writing apologetics for Bush's 2nd Iraq War the two of them completely fell out.

The Tumor Treating Fields You Don't Know
Electric field therapy is a non-invasive method of tumor treatment that uses alternating electric fields of specific frequency and intensity to selectively destroy mitosis in cancer cells. Electric field therapy can target proteins that are critical to the cancer cell cycle, leading to mitotic arrest, which can cause apoptosis in cancer cells and activate the patient’s own anti-tumor immune response. Electric field therapy has been approved by the FDA for new diagnostic and recurrent gliomas. Experiments with other local solid tumors are ongoing.

Well, it's more if you fit well with the interviewer.

One example was when I was interviewing for a game developer. I wanted to see something that was more like a tower defense game, which the interviewer wanted to move away from.

Sometimes they give you a description of the product and see your response - are you excited, confused, scared? Does your vision for this product align with the project manager's vision?

Like some others have mentioned, it's a way to see if you fit with their pace. Meaning if you're willing to work 80 hours/week or dedicate a lot of time to the office.

Some offices have the exact opposite culture - they like to work short hours but also need people who are extremely efficient and able to squeeze 100% out of those hours.

Some roles prefer people who adhere strictly to protocol.

Some are extremely flexible; we've worked with full time engineers who start work at 4 PM (stand up meeting) and end work at 9 AM (daily commit). They didn't care about the longer hours, only wanted to have a nightly cigarette and work when it's colder outside.

There's also different approaches to training. Some companies prefer to train on the job. Some expect you to train in your free time. Some will hire external trainers regularly. Some will stick to tried and true technology; others will encourage you to experiment. Some jobs even literally try to hire people who they can trust to experiment, so the boss/manager doesn't have to.
