> Plus car drivers are advised to give a bike the same room as a car, so on mixed use roads a bike effectively takes up the same space as a car.

Yes, that is one case. On the other hand:

1. The fact that such advices are given doesn't mean they are followed. I also heard that car drivers are supposed to leave at least 1 meter of space between themselves and a bike when overtaking said bike. In my experience that happens only on an empty wide road; otherwise car drivers won't hesitate to overtake as close as possible.

2. In case of bike lanes, bikes obviously do take much less space, both when driving and when queuing.

3. Even in case of mixed road, there may be multiple bikes which do not need to stay so far away from each other.

4. Also on mixed road, when queuing together with cars, bikes will usually position themselves alongside cars, therefore effectively taking zero space in the queue.

5. Finally consider also requirements for parking. A single car parking space could probably fit 10 bikes.

So the difference basically boils down to -ffast-math, right? Is there an equivalent in Rust?

Edit:
After some search I found these:

So 1996 means 196?as I chop off the 19, the year 1000 is implied and then tack on the next two significant digits of the year which is 96 and leaves off the specific year.

What? I have no idea what you mean by this.
On Android (ie meaning the OS, not the android version of the FB app), the wifi and bluetooth perform periodic scanning in order to provide better location services, it's said.

I think this is helpful especially in urban environments where the raw GNSS position is very rough, but typically several wifi APs are broadcasting, so the RSSI of those APs beacons helps to reduce positional uncertainty.

Th scanning is performed even with BT/wifi turned off. You can explicitly turn the scanning off in some settings submenu.

> I work at GitLab.

HN is a good opportunity to reach out, so I will use it: there's some kind of dark pattern employed during this Terms-Of-Service switch.

GitLab does not allow to login without accepting the new TOS, which means that I cannot remove my account without accepting the new TOS.

I didn't use gitlab that much anyway, but the TOS change just reminded me about the need to close the account... yet "you must accept the TOS to login" does not allow to remove the account. So, accepting the new TOS is kind of forced upon if you want to find your way out (in other words, it's made inconvenient and we-will-drag-our-feet otherwise).

Can someone take a look into it? I received two template-responses from email support, but no action.

Enterprise Win 10 user here... uh, I am the bringer of bad news...

Nevertheless I do think this is different since management defers decisions about software versioning and life-cycle management in general to developers. I do think this will cost them some hard earned customers.

It's not really that surprising. The growth expectations are taking into account that there are still several new markets to enter (Model Y, pickup, semi, etc.) and that continued reductions in manufacturing costs should allow lower prices which lead to higher sales volumes.

But last year there were more tax credits, which front-loaded a lot of sales into a year ago, and they haven't released a new model this year. So this YoY decline wasn't that this quarter was unusually bad, it was that this quarter a year ago was unusually good.
Again, issuer costs have no bearing on Merchant fees nor the profitability of processors.

Future of work: will RPA replace leadership jobs?
When people say “homeless are everywhere” regarding SF, they’re probably referring to the extremely troubled people who are conspicuously doing drugs or screaming incoherently on the streets. I don’t think those people would suddenly be fine if only the SF apartments were $500 a month instead of $3000.

Of course, there are a lot more homeless people in SF than the very conspicuously unwell people I mentioned. There are also probably larger scale effects that together contribute to high rents, high income inequality, drug abuse, lack of medical care, etc. But there’s a lot more to say than that SF’s homeless problem is because rent is too high.

Why Your Company Should Use IT Security Software
Your premise doesn't align with the facts.

Poverty and homelessness are near all-time lows in the US right now, comparable to Canada. You wouldn't know that by looking at the streets of San Francisco (or Los Angeles for that matter).

At a national level homelessness has declined dramatically since 2000. While San Francisco's problem has only kept getting worse. The US as a whole isn't seeing the homelessness problems that San Francisco is.

While San Francisco was doing nothing, the US implemented the Housing First program under the Bush Administration. That policy was continued and amplified by the Obama Administration, to extraordinary results: homelessness declined through the great recession, rather than skyrocketing as would have been predicted (especially coming out of a housing bust).

Unsheltered homelessness is down 20% since 2007. Total homelessness is down by 15% since 2007.

2013 > The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that the number of the chronically homeless declined by 30% between 2005 and 2007.

2008 > On a cold January morning in 2001, Mel Martinez, who was then the new secretary of housing and urban development, was headed to his office in his limo when he saw some homeless people huddled on the vents of the steam tunnels that heat federal buildings. "Somebody ought to do something for them," Martinez said he told himself. "And it dawned on me at that moment that it was me." So began the Bush administration's radical, liberal — and successful — national campaign against chronic homelessness.

It's worth mentioning that the housings of many products are frequently sold to multiple manufacturers as components ( though in this case I suspect it's probably the same product ). I've also seen suppliers change the contents of batches of products once an order has been placed ( I'm talking palette loads of products that land with changes to the electronics - even as a single importer specialising in a given product it can be impossible to guarantee continuity of supply from the east ).
This makes any attempt to police this kind of re-branding highly impractical since you need to disassemble any given product to verify it's contents, even within the same order.

Allright. This makes sense as it reduces the electro corrosion on the rebar and also prevents other unfortunate accidents such as the hot wire coming in contact an exposed metal part or a metal pipe which is itself in contact with the rebar.

I have seen a scenario where ligtning struck a DHW solar panel installation, skiped from the plumbing to the rebar and also melted hole in the plumbing while doing so, draining all the antifreeze on the walls. In addition it destroyed all the electronic appliances in the house. If the panels along with the rebar would have been properly grounded, such as scenario would have been mitigated.
My personal take is that SO wants to go mainstream and has hired a new CEO who's first order of business was to assert his power and demonstrate the site's new direction: corporation instead of community. They decided to make an example of a well-respected moderator to show that nobody is above the needs of the party err corporation. They expected her to violate the terms of a new code of conduct regarding gender pronouns ("use the preferred gender pronouns of users if they make them known", the pronouns include neo-pronouns like ze, ey, thon, peh etc) that was being written and prepared to be released. When internally announcing the outlines, she asked to clarify whether the use of they/them would be allowed if an individual was uncomfortable using the preferred pronouns, and this was taken to mean she would aggressively misgender people out of spite.

The community has told them to bugger off, 15-20% of volunteer moderators have resigned and the divide between the users generating the content and the employees has increased even more. Users mistrust employees because of lies and deceit and employees are terrified of engaging the users because they feel like walking out of the palace to talk to a group of villagers wielding pitchforks. The CTO has protected his subordinates and taken the blame in an issued statement, meanwhile they've leaked selected details on reddit and slandered the moderator to the press (misgendering her in the process, violating their new code of conduct; can't have a show trial without making it obvious it isn't about the alleged acts).
That does not mention anything about if I still have to agree to the new terms and conditions or not. Contrary to what you seem to think "at this time" is not very reassuring for me as a paying user.
You can also turn off new contacts notifications which is something I also hated and discovered recently that you can do.

Does AutoML Work for All Data Science Stakeholders: Expectations vs. Reality
The BBC has always had to fight accusations of bias from disgruntled political parties not getting their way.

The SNP is no exception to this unfortunate bullying trend - highlighted in the propaganda site in your link.

It's not perfect as a broadcaster and has a natural London bias that affects all regions.

I acknowledge this may become problematic in the context of regionalist independence campaigns.

To me, one of the best uses of this generation of AI would be as an aid to decision making. Your personal Skynet learns representations of data that help you make decisions, and watches out for worrying signs that you may be missing (perhaps based on your known mistake patterns, adapting as those change).

Meanwhile, human domain experts still look at the details and are able to add their own understanding of broader context, human nature, etc.

In this world, AI/ML primarily increases quality by augmenting human abilities rather than decreasing cost by automating humans out of the system. It's a smaller market maybe, but there are areas where better work can fetch a premium.

I think part of this is the lack of well understood patterns for the plumbing and UI of a system like this that makes it easy and useful and non-threatening to users. It's nothing that someone couldn't figure out, but not as well paved a road as integrating a caching, search, or image processing subsystem.
I wanted to find another example of the lack of quality control, so I just searched on Amazon for full grain leather belts. I opened one of the cheaper options for $10 and the description says "100% Full Grain Leather". That seems unlikely given the price, so I checked the reviews and there are photos of the belt flaking and peeling, which makes it quite clear it's not full grain leather. One of the reviewers also says the belt is stamped with "Genuine Leather", which once again confirms it's not full grain leather.

So, Amazon sells a belt that is literally described as "100% Full Grain Leather", but it's simply not. But, somehow that's fine.

> Now I often host heads of corporations for dinners, a Nobel Peace prize winner, etc

Okay, if you have the social connections that you're hosting Nobel Peace Prize winners and heads of (implicit: larger than 200 employees) corporations for dinner, then there is definitely something you're not saying about the resources you have available to accomplish this.

Like, I don't even know what country you live in. I don't know how far your house is from a grocery store. I don't know what percentage of the food in that grocery store is unpackaged. I don't know how many farmers/gardeners you have a relationship with. I don't know how much time you have to spend gardening. I don't know how bad of a headache your wife would have if dinner wasn't ready until 9:30pm. I don't know what ADHD medication you're trying to titrate.

So all I have to go on are my circumstances. When I spend 30 seconds predicting what I'd have to do to "avoid all food which comes in a package", a list of like 10-20 problems comes to mind. Could I solve all of those problems? Probably.

But in the 1.5 years it takes me to solve them, there is a good chance that I would be fired from my poor performance from my visa sponsoring job and get kicked out of the country.

We at least need to consider benefits and costs.

I don't personally use these things, but I can understand for some people that try to get by in the city it makes most efficient way to get from A to B. These things take space, but much less of it that cars would take and especially if you had to park the car somewhere. If taking a scooter is the fastest way to get from A to B you might be inclined to leave your car at home or outside city center and use public transport + scooters in the most congested parts of cities.

Now, I think it is beneficial for companies to be allowed to try different things and then regulate once we learn a little bit. Just straight banning companies from using sidewalks would result in us never knowing if this is or is not a viable idea.

Once we learn a little bit we can always regulate it. Companies might for example be forced to chip in to keep sidewalks in order or there could be regulation fining people for leaving stuff outside designated areas.

How is it up to discussion? Did they get a license or pay for it through some other avenue? Can I just park my car in your driveway without your permission? Can I use your property without permission?

If these scooter and bike companies aren't stealing by just taking land to use, I don't see how using your driveway to let my friends all park for a party could be construed as stealing.

>I wouldn't call it like that for example and law doesn't look at it that way either

That's a very general claim without merit. My municipality views it as such and has confiscated all the bird scooters and like bikes last I saw

Edit: to be fair, youre correct that a wrong doesn't justify another wrong. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna roll my eyes when one thief cries about the injustice of someone else stealing from them _as they continue to steal from me and my community without hesitation_.

How to build on demand delivery app
Personally, I find browsing amazon impossible simply due to the widespread mis-categorisation of products. It seems that suppliers just chuck everything into inappropriate categories in the hope that it gets them more views. This renders the platform useless for product discovery, and suggests that you might as well be searching for the product elsewhere. It also gives me the feeling of rummaging through a bargain basement shop, rather than the higher value store that I think Amazon used to be perceived as ( vs e.g, ebay ).
This is significant information, because there’s a whole conversation upthread assuming the gross receipts tax applies to their full business.
A British coworker said he thinks it's because authorities were worried about the water supply being intermittent. A rooftop tank solves the contamination back flow issue via an air gap. And provides water when the mains aren't working.
