> What if you have a large family, and need a large vehicle?

You get a van.

If I read the article correctly, the measure would be targeted at SUVs only. I doubt the mayor of Berlin-Mitte was thinking about vans when talking about banning "tank-like cars".
I don't think anyone in this tree disagrees with you here - the question the parent asked was how much should they charge? If the dollar cost of the procedure is $90, and insurance companies pay $100 and pay every time, how much should someone who has a 30% chance of paying pay for the procedure?

SUVs are higher up and as a pedestrian your far more likely to go under them then over them compared to sedans.

Softbank invested at a $47 billion valuation.

An IPO at $20bn, that may tank afterwards, would really hurt their paper profits.
> There may be sound environmental reasons for restricting SUVs in city centres, but all types of motor vehicles are just as capable of harming pedestrians if misused,

Yes, indeed. Berlin taxis are in no way big SUVs but are probably the most dangerous vehicles I deal with every day.

Some of the drivers seem to have a particular beef with cyclists and scooter drivers (sub-50cc scooters are very popular in here). I had multiple situations where I needed to run away because a taxi driver tried to ram me.
You can't access admin area on gitlab.com.

Besides, if you manage to find their issue you'd see carnage this decision caused for some of the customers. Even those with own runners found them swamped in jobs doomed to fail , blocking actually inportant pipelines.

Autodevops as a product feature targets very niche audience of teams running gitlab, but without dedicated DevOps team , it is by definition a very opinionated view on CI/CD and I can not see how it was acceptable to suddenly enable it on all existing projects on whole gitlab.com overnight.
So many feel better by cutting wheat. What’s not known is why. It’s likely not related to gluten but more likely something associated like yeast or simply keeping a better diet overall when avoiding gluten. I never heard the pesticide link before, and it seems it should be pretty easy to rule out since the increase should be smaller whereever glyphosate is banned?

You would most likely go over a Tesla rather than under. Model X would likely be similarly dangerous to pedestrians as the Porsche.
> Just ban all personal cars from city centers, replace every 5 banned cars with 1 electric taxi

This wouldn't help, as I mentioned in another comment here. Taxi drivers are one of the most dangerous, obnoxious and self-absorbed drivers in this town.

Also the city mulls over increasing the base rates for taxis which are already prohibitively expensive.

Trucks in Europe are designed to prevent things going under the truck, with mandatory under-run protection bars. You definitely would not want to end up underneath one!

There was a similar tragic incident in Glasgow in 2014 involving a bin truck, where the driver suffered a seizure. Several pedestrians killed and many injured.

Because there is just too much dumb money floating around and waiting to be invested after a decade of QE monetary policy. But instead of governments (worldwide) using said dumb money to invest in their future e.g. by building (or even maintaining!) infrastructure, teaching young students, fixing up environmental issues or helping people rebuild their savings/retirement, the money is forced into such "investments".

Next recession is gonna hit hard.
SoftBank business model: make an investment at valuation X. Make another investment at valuation 2X. Declare that the value of the first investment has doubled!

The wheels come off when anyone else gets to value the investment. That’s happening now. I wonder how other SoftBank businesses like ARM will be impacted.
Fine, then make it a function of weight, horsepower, ground-clearance and dimensions.
My impression was that the goal was to get the US presence out of the middle east. That goal failed pretty spectacularly.
Exactly. My point is about the double standard we face in our society. In public places we sometimes see over the top health & safety regulations but other potential dangers are being quietly accepted. I am not arguing for more regulation.
The danger with a SUV to pedestrians isn’t size or weight but height. A car should send a pedestrian onto the hood, never under the car.

But I thought EU rules were pretty strict when it comes to what happens to pedestrians on impact and the Macan isn’t exactly a monstertruck.

Having low speed limits and protected sidewalks (trees, posts) seems like a much better idea.
I am skeptical of these findings. It matches the "gluten-free" fad and demonization of glyphosate too well.

First, websites with "holistic" in their name are usually not the most trustworthy. The conclusion "...We need to go glyphosate-free, not gluten-free. And that means going organic..." seems overly broad.

The paper, coming from a peer-reviewed journal, is a bit more trustworthy but it is also a small journal, with a rather low impact score.

Do anyone know better?
Frustrations with React Hooks
Look up what Eddie Lampert did with Sears. As far as I know, no criminal issues with his self dealing.
According to customer service it wasn't and they said they didn't allow it anyway to that other company's network. And hence, they didn't believe us when we said it was happening.

This was circa 2006
Makes sense for reporters to play it safe I think, as what the car did is a clearly observable fact. Wording it like "The driver drove his car into the sidewalk" portraits the sense the driver deliberately performed the action. While other circumstances might be a play. Better to wait for official investigation to clarify this.

I'm a little confused. The article talks repeatedly about large SUVs:

> German politicians are demanding regulations to keep large SUVs (sport utility vehicles) out of inner cities

> "We need an upper limit for large SUVs in city centres,”

The article further elucidates:

> Following the incident, several politicians and traffic experts called into question the rising popularity of the vehicles - characterized by their broad shape and several off-road features

So it seems that SUVs are being particularly targeted, seemingly because of their features.

So, looking up the measurements [0], it seems that the Porche Macan is just under 4.7m long and 2m wide. By my standards (Oz) that's a pretty large vehicle!

>> Do you have any idea of how much is there from Lisp in e.g. Javascript and Python?

Absolutely! I'm not saying that Lisp is a bad language. I like Lisp (and Forth). I'm saying that its syntax (and the why of its syntax) are the primary reasons it hasn't caught on. I'm just not buying the "too powerful" and such arguments.

Most people pick their spoken language by their surroundings and what their family speak. Children aren't making a choice.

This isn’t really true with healthcare. We spend 2-3x what Europeans do on healthcare per capita. We even spend about the same in taxes as they do, PLUS our immense private spending.

People who fly jets are a different breed.

My dad witnessed the snowbirds crash at an airshow over lake Ontario.

They give boats a cordon that they are supposed to stay out of, but enforcement had become lax, so people would bring their boats in close for a better view.

When the crash happened one of the pilots, whose plane was damaged beyond control, flew it straight into the lake instead of ejecting to avoid hitting the boats.

I was amazed this weekend when Vilnius city center was closed for cars due to the yearly marathon taking place. The 6am-6pm closure felt great:
- All streets are free to walk, a sense of freedom
- No car noise, you start hearing other people foot steps which is weird
- A lot of people, not sure where they parked or have they used public transport but no one seemed bothered

I wouldn't be surprised that cars in city centers become things of a past.
You see "more" as in further down the road. But much less up close, as evidenced by new owners running over their own children in their own driveways.

On a bike I've learned to give minivans and SUVs a wide berth, they just seem way less predictable and less likely to see a bicyclist.
It's actually $15.98.

French minimum wage of 1,521.22 Euro PCM (divided by France's 35 hour week * 4) = 14.48 Euro per hour / $15.98

This also doesn't take into account things like top-up tax credits for low earners, access to social housing, free childcare and a zero up-front cost on healthcare. So take home wage is substantially higher than the hourly rate would indicate.
No, but we've entered an era where it's normal for users to have little/no control over their own machines.

It’s not really that astonishing that Americans are divided on healthcare when you look at the fact that neither primary political party truly supports universal healthcare. Only the progressive left does, very much against the wishes of the base of the Democratic Party.

We can’t act like Americans not wanting universal healthcare is such a head-scratcher when the vast majority of those in power are fighting to prevent it.

I think you are missing the point. Respecting systems doesn't mean 'not touching' or 'working around' existing systems. It just means 'understand it, before you change/rewrite it'. Otherwise, your rewrite might be even worse.

I have seen people proclaiming a rewrite with a newer technology would be a good idea who didn't have the slightest clue about the system they were trying to replace (except that it was build with some outdated technology) and I am 85% sure, that their rewrite would have been worse. When I confronted them with my claims, they gave up quickly.

As a Senior Engineer, you should know what you are doing. If you see obviously bad code, thinking about a rewrite is no sin. Just try to understand what caused the current system to look like it does.

Is a fact that radioactivity kills people. No need to demonstrate it statistically. We have enough empirical evidence.

Is a fact also that radioactivity is bioaccumulative.

We don't need a single "four", "seven" or a "twelve" to understand that dumping a bioaccumulative poison in a coastal area inhabited by millions and that provides a considerable part of the diet of this people, is definitely not a good idea.

As others have mentioned here, the recent “debate” between Jack Ma and Elon Musk was not excellent, but I put that more on Elon Musk. I have listened to other Jack Ma interviews, panel discussions, etc. and I really like his humanistic view of what life could be. People first, technology second.

I like Elon Musk’s enthusiasm for difficult problems, but I didn’t like his (what I perceived) lack of respect for Ma.

> Minimum wages in most European countries are quite low. In France, minimum wage is about $11/hour. That’s the same as Wal-Mart.

While Americans have to pay for their healthcare and other social safety nets from that 11$/h, Europeans get their benefits on top.

It’s same political show playing people’s fears. Same insanity with disabling nuclear power plants (ready to be downvoted!). Jealous people now will vote for the good party proposing to punish the bad riches with SUVs. SUVs are also problem number one during climate warming, another reason to ban them according latest headlines in German newspapers.

I was believer of the democracy, but this behavior of politicians is just ugly. Play with fears, go with the trend punishing riches and save the poor! That’s the recipe to win next elections. This is easy way! Providing laws for working from home and reducing traffic is beyond competency of these people.

Plus don’t forget aging population, I am always scared when I see these 75+ years olds driving big powerful cars. In fact I have friends in this age group and I would like to see them in a taxi instead with their own cars.

replace every 5 banned cars with 1 electric taxi and make it free

That will massively increase the number of cars on the roads city center. Most cars in cities spend most of their time parked. Offer a free taxi service and those cars will be rolling 24/7. Plus since the service will be so popular that there will basically always be someone waiting for a ride, drivers will be incentivized to driver faster so that they can get more fares (and thus more money).
yeah, and you can have a grammar with a single production using ALL : .* - you're missing the forest for the tree.

regex are ok for text that's context free, so they match perfectly for the lexing°. once you need context then are back to whacky hacks, layers and loops of regexes or preparser that remove the hard part out of the content - basically you're rolling your own grammar except manually, on the wrong toolchain and on your own.

"can I build my raster engine to draw poligons on screen" "well yes but is going to cost a lot of time, be error prone and miss a lot of features from ready to use solutions"

°you can actually put token production in the lexer itself between expressions, so they can already handle more than plain rexeg even in lexing.
I had +1 year savings before quitting my 9-5. I lived alone and no family to feed.

It helped me to have a lifestyle which was way less expensive than my wage permitted: tiny apartment, eating healthy but cheaply (preparing my own food is the key), using clothes at least 1~2 years before buying new ones, no housekeeper (even if if I hate cleaning). So, even when my income drastically decreased, it didn't change my life too much, and I could live on my savings much longer.

> I like hacker news because it always provides different opinion and new aspect of any problem.

Learning to google and doing a cursory check of news using snopes would do the same.

Something I have noticed is that people do not seem to do either of those things. I have personally observed that people (with degrees, no less) would rather make an assumption about a topic in the presumed absence of information, rather than actually check that such informatio is available. In one case I was able to show that with a very, very simple google search consisting of two words the information was clearly available within 10 seconds. I do not think this is due to laziness or apathy, as they fail to do this even in cases where they are expending energy on arguing something.
That's great--it seems to me we both learned something valuable today. Thanks for the learning opportunity!

Learning how to write code isn't a significant barrier. It's just pressing buttons on a keyboard. Logical thinking and problem solving are far more important. Switching to a visual language doesn't actually help you with that. Worse, if clicking virtual buttons with a mouse is slower than pressing physical buttons you will waste mental capacity that could have been used for problem solving and logical thinking.
