Most big cities have a majority of the population without cars at this point. These cities naturally favor more legislation against cars and this is causing city administrators to over time introduce more restrictions for cars. E.g. many Dutch cities got a head start on this to make more room for bicyclists in the nineteen seventies already. Simple measures include raising prices for parking and parking permits, introducing park and ride areas where people can park and hop on a bus to the downtown area, making lots of streets one way only and segmenting off different parts of the city such that you can only drive there via the ring road, making large parts of the down town area car free, etc. Cars are for getting in and out of the city not for driving from A to B inside a city.

I live in Berlin which is comparatively car friendly because of the German car manufacturing lobby. You can drive to the downtown area and expect to find street parking. This is very un-european at this point. Forget about doing that in Amsterdam, Paris, London, Madrid, etc. Not a thing there anymore. Even a few decades ago that would have been a bad idea. You'd be stuck in traffic for ages and your only option for parking will be a full (probably) parking garages charging massive fees. These days it's flat out not allowed or at least enormously expensive.

Even so, owning a car does not make much sense in Berlin and most tech people with comparatively decent incomes I know here in the massive startup scene don't own cars and many of the few that do rarely use them.
London has incredible public transport and only one line has no AC so it’s hot (edit) this is completely wrong, actually quite a few lines lack AC.. On being overcrowded - sure, during rush hour. Even then you marvel at the TfL’s efficiency - during rush hour I’ve counted one underground train every 20 seconds. 20 seconds! And this keeps on going for an hour or more.
We should abolish DUI Laws,

If our ultimate goals are to reduce driver impairment and maximize highway safety, we should be punishing reckless driving. It shouldn't matter if it's caused by alcohol, sleep deprivation, prescription medication, text messaging, or road rage. If lawmakers want to stick it to dangerous drivers who threaten everyone else on the road, they can dial up the civil and criminal liability for reckless driving, especially in cases that result in injury or property damage.

Doing away with the specific charge of drunk driving sounds radical at first blush, but it would put the focus back on impairment, where it belongs. It might repair some of the civil-liberties damage done by the invasive powers the government says it needs to catch and convict drunk drivers. If the offense were reckless driving rather than drunk driving, for example, repeated swerving over the median line would be enough to justify the charge. There would be no need for a cop to jam a needle in your arm alongside a busy highway.

Fortunately, engineers have invented a way to attach a Strolling Wheelbarrow After Plane, where you can stash the sleeping passengers without ejecting them out of the plane entirely. This has the unpleasant side effect of slowing down the journey for everyone when passengers wake up inorderly (and God forbid everyone wake up at the same time), though.
I really hate devices connecting to cloud and this was stopping me to get automatic vacuum cleaner. Well looks like I have found my brand. With ssh access :)
That needs forward flight to work. A quad copter does not have a glide ratio high enough that it would be able to start up the rotors to spin fast enough to get some lift out of them. A quad copter is best modeled as a brick with a magic anti gravity device attached, if the anti gravity device fails it is a suspended brick and gravity will soon assert itself.

A real helicopter (or an auto-gyro) is best modeled as a rotating wing, as long as the blades rotate you can control the craft to greater or lesser extent. It still won't be pretty in a proper helicopter but at least you have a chance.
Time might have an edge, especially if you live in a rural area that doesn't have the population to sustain transit infrastructure and zero traffic, but there are a lot more intangible benefits to avoiding the act of driving.

I live in LA and people drive like assholes. In rush hour people merge no blinker from edge to edge of the highway if one lane is moving a mile an hour faster, causing even more traffic in the process downstream from everyone slamming on the brakes to avoid killing the prick. No one ever lets you in unless you threaten to hit them. You are forced to engage in the ruckus, because if you drive at all defensively you will not go anywhere.

Then there is the streets themselves. Highways peel lanes like onions, forcing constant merging and therefore inevitable traffic. Commonly there are 4 way stops with multilane streets and no one knows who should go first, so with any traffic at all it immediately gridlocks. Visiting friends without a parking space means factoring in circling their entire neighborhood if you aren't blessed with a nearby parking structure.

The whole experience is profoundly frustrating and stressful. On public transport, I can read a book. Maybe I'll learn something instead of fighting in the pits.
There’s nowhere for us to jump as far as I’m aware...
I'm not sure there is any one right answer to who should provide the oversight. I feel like every possible entity is vulnerable to outside pressure and influence, individuals deceitfully involving themselves, as well as the infallibility and bias of the more earnest, well intended individual.

As a medium, paper ballots are the way to go, with anonymity tied in, allowing some sort of general public observance of a logical, defacto tallying process.

If such a process exists, I have no clue and maybe that's just a pipe dream. Anyhow, here's to the 2020 election
> On public transit, on the other hand, I can relax and read and pretty safely ignore the world. Worst case someone grabs my kindle or my phone and runs.

That surely isn't really the worst case. This happened last Friday in Madrid, just days after someone pushed a mother and her child in front of a train in Germany (and killed the child): https://twitter.com/el_pais/status/1157564725015851008?

Granted, it's still a rare occurrence, but it seems to happen more often lately. The closest I personally came to this kind of public transport experience was standing in the first subway car when some drunk guy fell on the tracks and got killed around 20 years ago. It's not really a reason why I prefer the car these days, but also not exactly a fond memory.

As for feeling uncomfortable driving cars out of fear - most modern cars have good safety measures: https://youtu.be/cMiZa3HgRVE?t=125

That should not happen with a DB even if you turn off the power. Are you sure the hardware is good?

And that's the crux of the issue. proprietary drivers.
Much peace and love <3, because there's not enough humanity between people these days it seems.

How a society treats its most vulnerable, "undesirable" and powerless individuals (prisoners, homeless and other minority groups) reflects the true nature of its constituents.

It's truly a shame most modern people have no idea what it's like to be homeless and/or didn't learn the golden rule or empathy in their upbringing.
perhaps a downvote on that came from lack of reference, I had assumed most here had read the 'recent developments' from cloudflare, but perhaps there are those who would downvote that have only read headlines.
I was not aware of how much cloudflare had become a part of the survielance state until I read the recent post from the ceo there.

Here are a few quotes to substantiate my outrageous claim:

-- because we have a very effective technological solution that provides security, performance, and reliability in an affordable and easy-to-use way. As a result of that, a huge portion of the Internet now sits behind our network.

-- ...monitoring potential hate sites on our network and notifying law enforcement when there was content that contained...

-- We will continue to work within the legal process to share information...

This is edited merely to show proof of the statement about surveilance. I am intentional taking parts of it out of context that includes their 'reasoning' and all that. This statement from me is not about whether this is a good or bad thing they are doing or for which reasons they do or do not, should they are shouldn't they, or whatever.

I suggest reading more about their side of the story they posted: https://new.blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8cha...

and read discussions on other threads around HN and other places on the web about the good, bad, etc on the issue.

It saddens me greatly to have to make that above statement that was downvoted by the way - there was a time when I placed great faith in the ability of cloudflare to protect free speech from the Xchans and those who peruse them (4 chan was used at one time to coordinate LOIC DDoS attacks against sites I maintain and several hosting companies that tried to handle that. So I was relieved with cloudflare at one time in protecting data transit - now it's become another instrument in censorship at the direction of the few to affect the many sadly.

That faith has now been destroyed as they have chosen to take a different route and instead suriveil and silence at the whim of changing goalposts.
As mentioned in the project description, this is a fork of the solution presented by the German magazine c't a few years ago. Since then they came up with the successor Shariff, which is also able to display the number of likes and shares.

I'm curious to know your stance on the right to bear arms.
Given postal votes are a thing, and have been for many years (at least for UK/AU/NZ), is there still such stringent requirements on making it difficult/impossible to buy/coerce votes? Since both can be done using postal votes already.

Does this then open up more digital options? Eg app based voting where your vote is published along with everyone elses but in anonymised form, so everyone can independently verify the totals. By anonymised I mean the app displays a random “vote reference ID” that you could check in the final published ledger to see your vote was included, and was recorded correctly.

They have. The homeless turn them into their homes. Drug users do drugs in them, and they are sheds for prostitution. Also, they are expensive to install and maintain.
The first two nota benes explicitly describe this document being outdated and not what most people expect when it comes to “memory controller”. I am not certain that citing this is a great example.
Yeah, there's nothing inherently bad about monopolies. The problem only arises when monopolies are forced into people by the government. Instead, people choose Amazon on their own.
It’s definitely possible without a car — people here in Holland do it all the time. Maybe qualify your answer to “suburban America” and similarly (non)designed places?

Point is, it’s not fundamentally impossible to live with 2+ kids and no car.
Don't need your own pool if the building has one. People just have to get more used to sharing common spaces. Even the suburban floorplan could be stacked up a dozen plus stories if people wanted that.
As have been pointed out by multiple people, kids are perfectly capable of taking public transit themselves. Kids under ten might need to be accompanied by a guardian, but there are usually two parents in a household, and some grandparents will help, too. Caretakers can be hired in certain cases. Some family “pool” their kids together too, not unlike in the U.S. where parents would take turns to drive neighbors’ kids.

Also, having cars but no public transit doesn’t change the fundamental equation and doesn’t improve the situation much (especially considering the fact that in many places driving in the morning rush hours might even be slower than taking the subway), in fact quite the opposite, teenagers are wholly dependent on parents when they could have been independent.

> You simply can’t do this without a car.

I grew up like that. People have been doing that for decades.
How does Solaris/SmartOS handles that situation?
I committed the grave mistake of purchasing a laptop with only 8GB ram and I constantly run out of memory as a result.

I recommend that you try ZRAM. It has made a difference in a 8GB laptop that I use:

For 8GB I run a 2GB ZRAM swap.
It's worth noting that Finnair hasn't lost an aircraft since 1963, and are by some measures thus the safest airline out there.

They're no minnow either: while not huge in the US, they've made a killing by exploiting their geographical location as the fastest transfer hub between northern Asia and Europe.

Youtubers mostly play with modpacks made by the community, not the plain vanilla game.
This is definitely not true. In a zero-sum game, every bit of profit one person makes comes from the pocket of the counterparty. A stock option is a zero-sum proposition: at the expiration of the option, one party ends up “in the money”, the other party is “out of the money” by the same amount.

Stocks are not a zero-sum game. They have sustained value, so when I sell you a share of stock, you get the share, and I get money equal to the value of the stock.

One might argue that day trading is roughly a zero-sum game, if we make the simplifying but inaccurate assumption that the values of stocks don’t change across a trading session, and assuming that everyone goes home each night with all positions closed out.
Probably it would be good to include the amount of overcommit in the heuristic. Processes that overcommit should be killed first. What is a good way to measure/inspect overcommit of the process?
I highly doubt there is more "hate-speech" on right wing 8chan than on left wing Twitter.

Also, users are driven to these sites from other social media where even moderate views are often considered "fascist" and can get you banned.
My bad then, that's fair. JS has been deviating from C-style syntax and it really shows in this article haha
I don't know about Game Theory, but is it correct to call this outcome a Nash Equilibrium?

Edit: I thought about it for a while, and it seems incorrect to say so. If the buyer's strategy is "always wait", and the seller's strategy is "always sell at an outrageous price", it should be a Nash Equilibrium, similar to a Prisoner's dilemma. But the buyer's strategy is actually "buy if the price is reasonable, wait if not", so the broker can always choose to lower the price to a reasonable level, both allowing the blogger to purchase the domain name, and profits from it. But the broker doesn't appear to be rational enough to choose this strategy, possible due to stupidity or limitations of the business model. What is the suitable term for this phenomenon?
Diabetic coma is caused by prolonged hyperglycemia (too much blood sugar) and diabetic ketoacidosis. Many diabetic patients go through months of hyperglycemia and even ketosis before they even know that they have diabetes.

Hypoglycemia in healthy adults mainly results from not eating and develops rather slowly. It's hard to recognize at first, but it will get a lot more obvious before it gets serious.

Hypoglycemia in diabetic patients is more often caused by too much insulin delivered at mealtime and this happens more quickly. Patients can become unconscious before they notice the problem, but usually they recover even without treatment. The goal of diabetes treatment is to avoid this hypoglycemia, also because the body reacts with increased glycogenesis leading to an overshoot of blood sugar.

There are sometimes suicide attempts with insulin. This rarely succeeds, it can result in brain damage, but mostly the patients wake up sometime later.

At night an insulin pump would not need to deliver that much insulin. There are also very long-acting types of insulin, which may be preferable to the short-term insulin in the pump to achieve the "baseline" during the fasting period. Or not. That's a strategy question, I guess. I had type 2 for a short time, and I used long-term and short-term insulin at meal times, with the finger-pricking type of measurement.

I don't think insulin pumps would carry enough insulin or are able to deliver enough.

My point is that there is a relatively large margin of error for any algorithm or software before serious harm occurs, and that the continuous monitoring and delivery is already superior in achieving good glucose curves, regardless if the control loop is manual or automatic.

I've read that continuous sensors help patients to have fewer incidents of hypoglycemia.
From what I've come to believe, still so after reading the article, is that most of the vitamins you intake are passed through urine. For whatever reason. I do think some have more uptake than others, but the most and only true fire way to ensure you're getting all the essential vitamins is through your diet. I won't preach what constitutes a healthy and balanced diet, but from my understanding the vitamin absorption through digestable foods is far superior to taking a multivitamin, especially when using them to cover some supposed deficient one likely has
Most modern browsers cache a lot of data in memory as well to make things like navigating back snappy and avoiding a full page re-load. It's also necessary to cache most of the state of the previous page to allow retaining form fields if you accidentally navigated away (as some forms are only in the DOM, created by JS, and not part of the original HTML).

I believe to have read somewhere that at least Chrome listens to low-memory situations broadcast by the OS and will evict such caches. So while it uses a lot of memory as long as memory is available, it will also release much of it if necessary.
I don’t really buy this. This is more an artifact of the US (insanely) not having any form of national ID.
3 degrees is indeed a lot, but you will only have the temperature sensor that regulates indoor temperature in a specific place so, depending on placement, other areas of the room can get way colder. Also they typically have builtin hysteresis so they only react when they go below a threshold of difference. Lastly most HVAC systems also manage humidity so heat sensation varies more.
White Christians are losing their supermajority status in an increasingly ethnically diverse America. Even though white christians will continue to be the largest racial group for a long time, the shifting demographics feel very visceral by increased minority representation in media and politics. This has spurred a lot of racial anxiety.

There was a study done where people were primed by reading news articles about America becoming a "majority minority" country (e.g. white people as a group will no longer represent > 50% of the full population). Reading these articles causes white people to hold more favorable opinions of conservative policies across the board. However, if the articles included statements along the lines of, "But white people will remain as powerful", those conservative shifts go away. Further studies show this same effect across ethnic groups (e.g. Black people reading about growing Hispanic populations). The central takeaway is: when people feel like the status of their identity group is under threat, they become more conservative.

While racial anxiety can be assuaged, popular conservative media in America, like Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, et al, do all that's in their power to inflame these anxieties. And while these anxieties all existed before Trump, Trump was the first major presidential candidate in recent memory to stoke these fires so directly (John McCain and Mitt Romney both famously refused to do so, John McCain by shutting down the "Barack is a Muslim" rhetoric at a town hall, and Mitt Romney refusing to campaign using racial anxiety even though he was showed polling that it would be effective). Trump getting elected has subsequently emboldened a lot of racially anxious people who finally have someone they can rally behind. You know, "someone who isn't afraid" to make the claim that people immigrating from Mexico are rapists and murderers.

And so here we are.

There's a whole other dimension about how damaging spending all day in internet communities can be for emotional health, how lonely a lot of young people are, and how groups like ISIS and white supremacists take advantage of these people by offering them community and subsequently radicalizing them. I'd expand but I'm lazy and I'm just another dumbass on the internet anyway.
Maybe a pointless comment but this very article was linked in another post[1] that was trending a few hours ago. Could it be that this post was made while browsing Wikipedia from that other post?

Answer is too simple. Exactly what is taking up what memory? I'd love to see the annotated memory map of these processes. M Kb of javascript text. N MB of image data, O MB of this, P MB of that.

Unpopular opinion time:

My guess is most developers don't care and are not even looking at this anymore, either during development or after release. Nobody seems to even know how much memory their program allocates and how quickly it allocates that memory under various running conditions. I used to challenge my fellow developers: Stop in the debugger right now. About how much memory should the process be using? Nobody even seems to have an order-of-magnitude guess anymore. It's your program, dude! Shouldn't you know this?

You can ask any embedded software engineer exactly how much memory his/her program uses, what's the stack size, what's the heap size, what's statically and dynamically allocated. Sadly, this discipline is pretty much gone outside of that specialized area.
Well german telecom tried to introduce caps into internet plans ~5 years ago at around 200GB. But that caused so much outrage, that they rolled back on that decision and ultimately you only get a cap on the cheapest of providers.
I mean try downloading GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption for PS4/PC, and you have already used up your datacap.

Mobile Plans are so expensive, because we germans auction away the licenses for the Frequencies for billions.
Again, as I said in my other comment, this just sounds like a right wing version of Twitter.
Thanks for your response. I'd be happy to get any one of those things you mention :)
