So you're going to allow people to run delivery services in busses? Because how else can you deliver to the housebound? Bikes are out: They're not allowed on pedestrian areas, and you can't haul much on one anyway. Electric scooters are out for the same reasons, as are "mobility" scooters.

I suppose there's no law saying you have to allow the housebound to live in a region.
Well, price also holds people back. An entry level Tesla with autopilot is still north of $40k after taxes (even with the break).
The 2018 Focus had a starting MSRP around $17.5k. I'm not really sure what they actually listed for at dealerships and I'm having a hard time finding info on the 2019 Focus being sold in the US. But, yeah obviously this is a much less expensive car in the US. $50k for a compact is ridiculous.
Whats the easiest way to make public on the internet a small streamlit powered analysis?

I saw there is a Streamlit for teams in the future (sounds expensive) and on the forums they recommended to make a docker container and host it anywhere, which is doable, but I'd love a way to be able to just put something up on the internet for a short period of time, sort of how now.sh[1] works.

Yes that is the point. In the relatively rare case of failure this particular function uses a goto to return without releasing a held mutex. Error paths within the kernel are a rich vein of malfunction.
Yeah it is slightly misleading. The escape analysis rewrite was done in 1.13. But work is now going on to remove the old escape analysis code.

Very cheap but don't be surprised if a supplier goes out of business/disappears so strategize accordingly.

Plus then of course all the major cloud provide a intro credit. So that should cover about 3 years worth of basic VPS
> As a consumer, I care much much more about taste and price for the same type of product.

that's great, as you're free to buy any of the things not called "Parmigiano". There's plenty of awesome stuff which is not PDO/PGI.

The only reason you would call something unrelated "parmigiano" is if you wanted to attach yourself to the concept of "premium" without having to follow the same rules.

You can absolutely make a great succesful product and not give a damn about denomination of origin rules.

Bolgheri Sassicaia[0], for example, established itself as a fantastic wine without having an italian DOC(G) classification, until one was defined explicitly for it.

> So, in my opinion, the concept of Denomination of Origin ends up being a legalized scam, as it end ups cheating more on the consumer, because in reality it doesn't necessarily mean the product is of better quality (as it's often advertised).

But that is true of any advertisement. I agree that the basic denomination of origin does not imply quality, but I don't see how removing it improves things.

Yeah, I share that same feeling.

However, where this starts to break down is highway miles. Shifting into overdrive and having no lights for miles, coupled with the always connected to work ethic might have different results.

I do think it ultimately comes down to culture and conditions on the road.
Hey no worries! In the realm of audio descriptors centroid and brightness go far in terms of mapping on to something perceptual. I use them all the time for doing basic corpus navigation and concat synthesis. This indeed was an experiment because I wanted something that respected more perceptual features of the sound. I am in the process of writing my results up into a thesis actually.
And it's OK that this move is making the Mayor more than a few enemies.

The job of elected officials is not to please everyone. The job of elected officials is to improve stuff, and leave the region in a better state than when they came into office.

In the coming years and decades we're going to need a lot of elected officials to "make enemies" as they work hard to improve the unsustainable world we've built.
That’s an odd take. Paris is the densest city in the EU and one of the densest cities in the world.
A couple undergraduate classics courses would be far cheaper and much more useful in that regard. On a similar note, studying Greek and Latin in college gave me a large leg up in other areas of study (e.g. I had a much greater mastery of English and writing, programming language syntax was far easier to learn, etc.). Classical languages are far more useful than people realize.
idk, rxjs, observables, and promises seem pretty popular. Doesn't mean it makes sense to try to write all your js code in an fp style though.
Worth noting that the increase from the Tevatron (2TeV) to LHC (14TeV) was the same as this proposed step from the LHC to the FCC.
I wish programs would not colorize. I find that I much prefer post-processing program output to colorize how I please, especially since I may want much better coloring/styling (e.g. mix of foreground/background, bold, underline, and more than basic red/green color choices). Of course, this requires that output has enough semantic clues in the text to colorize meaningfully; that’s a good thing anyway, since it makes the command more flexible for any other purpose like chaining Unix commands.

Yes! There's a large area to the left and right of me where I can't see anyone which makes it particularly dangerous when turning a corner.

On another note, I walk in Seattle a lot and I do my best to look for oncoming cars when crossing, I don't trust them to see me or even the red light.
The article mentions that echolocation is a way the brain adapts in some blind people but your comment seems like echolocation is at least partially learned skill.

Since you’ve taken a class on it I’d be curious to know whether you got the sense it’s something most people could learn if they wanted to spend the time/effort? Or does it seem like the sort of thing that some people just seem to pick up “naturally”?
>I so rarely see people just sitting and imagining things for long stretches //

You've heard of daydreaming though, or the mind's eye. I assume they're cross-culturally universal concepts?

For my own part my teachers always told me off for daydreaming. When lying in bed as a child I would watch cartoons in my head (whilst awake, before falling asleep).

I can think of a table without picturing one, choose to picture an actual table (eg the one from my childhood home, perhaps on the day my dad revarnished it), or have a sort of meta-table before my mind's eye (cf Bertrand Russell!). The image of that table from my childhood isn't just a photo, it's like a cubist table, I can simultaneously 'see' different aspects of it despite them not being contiguous - like the top surface, the feet and the underside bolts; I can also feel it like a "mind's touch", and similarly with other senses. Scents tend only to appear fully in the context of memory though, or at least they're much stronger in that context (my mother cooking gingerbread, say; or the smell of my grandparents kitchen [poorly burnt gas!]).
Thinking Through the Cold Shower Fad
Yea, so the cost of electricity is 25c/kWh (NYC). 3 miles per kWh or 0.08 per mile (not including charging efficiency).

City: 20 miles per gallon ($2.75/gal) or 0.13 per mile
Highway: 30mpg or 0.09c.
Hybrid: 40mpg or 0.07c.

Tesla is too expensive for a very little benefit, smaller EVs have tiny range. Hybrids would be cheaper than a Tesla.
Thanks for your response. As you alluded to, I found a theme for Hugo that worked out of the box for what I needed (essentially a book format). I don't need much customisation on the layout and my main focus is reducing development time implementing different kinds of content in an easy to structure manner.
I actually wrote a chrome extension which does this AND generates a news feed for the user (of people they follow).

I didn’t release it because it kind of seems counter HN tbh.
I like to call it the Admin Effect. It got so bad to the point where anytime I approached a user to fix an issue, the first thing they said was "It'll probably just work now that you're here... yep, there it goes, thanks I guess".

>I'd really like to see some double blinded studies comparing the success of echolocators in every day tasks against non-echolocators.

I'm trying to think of how you could set up that study. There's a lot of factors you'd have to control for. You'd need to set up some kind of baseline to work off of. Which I feel like could be difficult with something like compensating for a disability.

There's the length of time being blind to consider. Someone who's been blind longer likely has better abilities at finding their way around and finding things whatever methods they use. Then as another poster mentioned, there's controlling for echolators using different methods along with echolocation. Then there's sample size. To get an actual unbiased set of data work with you would need more than a handful of people. You'd need a fairly large group of disparate people in each category you're testing for to get any kind of statistically significant result.

There's lots more to consider, these are just a few that came to mind off the to of my head. It would be a cool study to see done though.
Insurance company would not have sufficient means to provide repair if no one is willing. Replacement might be possible, but is always costlier than repayment as you have to test the replacement product, too.

What he meant by bad is probably the fear that MS will abandon F# once C# has borrowed enough features from it.
Having more Montparnasse-esque towers would destroy the a lot of the streetscapes created by Haussmann that make Paris so distinctive. How can you not love all of the chimney pots?

Keep the height restrictions inside of the city and continue to keep high rises near La Défense and serve them with efficient and effective mass transit.

Cars aren't killing people though, it's the drivers of those cars. Such an odd headline.

Better title: "Why are drivers killing more pedestrians?"
This is one of those things that you can't trust a customer to answer truthfully.

You say you like it, but when Ford or similar does it, it's annoying.

It's not that Tesla quality is good either.

It's one of those things that we tell ourselves we like.

I believe there isn't a correct answer, but rather our psychology decides what we like rather than true performance
Your biases are showing, and so is your ignorance.

I was explicitly taught this in high school, and your insistence that I wasn't grates. It's impossible to generalize the way you have for reasons you apparently fail to understand, but what's worse are your biases preventing you from realizing there even are things you don't understand. Truly, this is Dunning-Kruger on a grotesque level, given the subject matter.

The quality of the mapping is entirely subjective. Person to person and corpora to corpora a different kind of mapping will work better for known and tacit goals with the results.

The work I am doing now has the ability for me to compare different plots as well as to experiment with another layer of processing that runs clustering on the output of the dimensionality reduction. I then manually play through the clusters to see how well the groupings seem to me, in terms of how 'close' the audio samples are together and how well a cluster is differentiated from another.

I hope to have some documentation on my project soon as its going to be part of my dissertation in music technology.

Also, to answer your question about guitar pedals - Stefano Fasciani has done some work on finding smoother parameter combinations across chaotic synthesisers.

Growing up, writing was often my least favourite thing to do. It still doesn't come "naturally" to me, but this year I starting using a process that makes it easier for me to "show up". I've basically tried to lower the barrier to entry.

Curious to know what writing tips or processes others are using to strengthen their "writing muscle".
I get that but if you look at how Amazon handles this with AWS, in principle you can keep scaling up usage for as long as you have enough credit cards to cover it. The board-level discussion shifts to one about costs needed to run the business instead of having to make the case for additional features or uncapped limits on a tool that the board probably doesn’t understand and perhaps isn’t even aware of.

By the time you hit the cost discussion on AWS, the value you’re getting out of it is hopefully self-evident.

And yes AWS has sales people but most of the time they’re acting as consultants and “helpers” rather than someone you need to negotiate with.
Same day ACH had phase 1 in 2016 (amazingly recent). It's now "completely rolled out" and in practice still not very "same day" in most cases. The same day ACH expansion adds 2 hrs and a third daily transaction and isn't scheduled until March of 2021. Sure, technically, banks can have more than one initiative going on at the same time, but I'm pessimistic about seeing RTP or seeing ACH go away.

Pretty common attitude in the *BSD community, and the author says they spent some time using FreeBSD in the past.

Often the objection is the license, however, I think there is also a perception that the GNU stuff can be bloated, tries to be all things to all people, where something like BSD feels more direct, less over-engineered.

My opinion is not allegedly subjective, it is subjective. I don’t expect anyone to do anything with the comments I write. They don’t prove anything, but someone may find it useful to hear that a person with experience decided to have a dissenting opinion of Haskell in practice.

I will say, however, that just as I mentioned in my comment, I’m willing to say static typing is fine. There are lots of tools in a toolbox. It is one of them.

I don’t believe a lot of commenters who seek out this discussion would give a similarly charitable view of dynamic typing, and in my real life experience, these are people who superficially dismiss projects written in dynamic languages, especially Python, on parochial grounds not rooted in reality.

In other words, I see a lot of people in the Python community in real life saying, “Haskell is cool, you can do expressive things in it, but it makes certain other things hard and so for a wide range of tradeoffs I wouldn’t pick it.” But I see people in Scala, Haskell, Clojure, F# etc., communities saying, “Python is crap, so unsafe, so many bugs, it’s just a categorically wrong way to design and write programs.”

So the discussion is (in my experience) extremely asymmetrical along these programming religion lines.
Well, that, and there's an orders-of-magnitude difference in homicides between trans and cis people. (And, of course, it's worst for young, black women). Being openly labelled as transgender significantly increases your risk of being assaulted.

That's why misgendering is so insidious - it's stochastic terrorism. The person doing the misgendering can claim that they never meant any violence, but they're still increasing the chance of violence.

Average price of a new car in the US is $37k. 17 million new cars a year sold in the US. Price isn’t as big of an issue as it’s made to be. If you can’t afford a Tesla, you probably should only be looking at affordable used cars anyway (like a Toyota or Honda for $10k-$20k).
Mass murderers have targeted concerts in Paris and Las Vegas. If I were going to a concert, I'd want facial recognition as part of the security system.
I agree. Associate's degrees on Informatics (including intermediate level computer science and introductory MIS) might be useful but do not exist.

Associate-level Programmer's degree and Computer Technician's degree do, though.
It would be especially interesting if we could retrofit some of these abilities into existing neural architectures with the help of technology. For example, one could imagine an implant or indirectly connected device which increases your "L1 cache size" (working memory capacity), or provides supplementary "GPUs" to offload spatial reasoning. They could change the way the brain itself works, or perhaps just act as external modules with fast data lanes which your brain eventually starts to treat as extensions of itself, like it can with prosthetic limbs (or even imaginary "virtual" limbs, like with a mirror box).

It may not actually ever be possible to do it without direct, messy biological/genetic engineering, but if it is possible, I think it would have an incredible impact.
ActivityPub would be an awesome alternative for sharing and commenting.
Note from class A CDL driver:

The 1st company I worked for was hyper vigilant in preventing accidents, to a point that kept me from returning. Their data is quite solid, however. With both forward and inner facing cameras, they are able to analyze their drivers extensively, notably where accidents occur. It isn't only because of the mandatory $10,000 federal fine[1] for having a cellphone placed near a driver's ear, it's the observed tendency of the phone as a factor in many events. So strict was the company, that if the camera sensors detected a driver's hand near a cellphone, a safety meeting was held and the driver reprimanded, or terminated. Their means I find intolerable, but their motivation well founded.

1. FMCSA

Edit: I ought take the opportunity to mention the training that occurs in some of these companies, regardless of driver experience. There can be no refutation that such additional education makes a better driver, of any motor vehicle. The prevalent attitude and reception (even among trucker types) is open-minded, sincere and earnest. I view this as strong evidence that education can indeed improve what many appear to think of as incorrigible drivers. The required education for a standard driver's licenses is wholly inadequate considering the stakes. I stubbornly hold that up to a majority of accidents are highly and practically preventable. Our priorities are grotesque.

By all means, massage your breasts, but I'm not so sure your hypothesis holds up. The paucity of cancers of skeletal muscle is more likely due to cell type (terminally differentiated without much turnover) rather than vascular supply. Carcinomas of the lung and colon are some of the most prevalent (probably still would be even taking environmental factors into account) and those organs get plenty of blood supply. Leukemias also aren't rare and are literally bathed in blood flow.
Which criterion did your software violate in RMS's definition—I fail to see anything applicable in the subsection that you point to?
Maybe a suggestion for the authors (if not already in the pipeline). Shiny offers a button in RStudio that deploys an app instantly and for free to a domain at shinyapps.io. They then charge for apps that require more data hosting or more concurrent users. Extremely convenient, and pretty profitable I'd imagine.

Thanks for sharing and I am sorry for your project. It was a cool idea. Any idea why no actual adoption? Is this possibly because of the product-market fit mentioned in this post?

I am thinking aloud here: maybe the product-market fit, project-community fit and the value-market fit were not so clearly separated or sequential but more interrelated from the very beginning. You have to find the value-market fit and define the business problem first and then the community will thrive? The value to the community is not only what the project can bring to the business, but also the value this project can bring to its contributors and adopters.
High SERP ratings come from multiple things:

1. If you use Google signed in, they know (I assume) you preference technical material (which is the bucket Medium falls in)

2. On-site links; one of the most powerful (and underutilized methods of SEO) is interlinking pages on a site. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it can be a determining factor in top-ranked sites (see Wikipedia as the canonical example of onsite linking).

3. Inbound links; lots of people link to Medium content. If Medium uses Google's tracking tools, Google has a good idea of the inbound traffic and can adjust based on the site's popularity.

None of this has to do with user experience. Unfortunately.

I'm sure there is more (like page load times, how information is organized in the HTML, etc.) that factors in, but these are the ones that occurred to me.
