> When there's a stopped vehicle in the lane you're in, you can simply check for traffic in the next lane and switch lanes.

> You're not restricted to the bike lane if there's an obstruction.

These comments proves my whole second point. If a car were to just park in the car lane because it felt like it, there would be outrage, tickets, and the car would get towed immediately. Nobody would say "no big deal, just change lanes". But when a biker says "I don't like using the street because it's dangerous", it's just dismissed like this.

You also ignore that bikers DO just change lanes into the street, which can be quite dangerous somewhere like New York. I don't know if you've ever ridden a bike in New York, but drivers, especially taxis, are at best ignorant of you and often antagonistic. There's a reason bike lanes exist in the first place, and it's because the car lanes are dangerous.

> It's far easier to take responsibility for your own safety than to rely on others to do it for you

Imagine somebody saying this when a car driver complains about somebody else running a red light, or cutting them off in a lane - you would get laughed out of the room. But when drivers act dangerously towards a biker it's the biker who should be taking responsibility.

When bikers do all the terrible biker things like roll through stop signs, or "act like pedestrians", or roll to the front of the line, that IS taking our own safety into our hands by doing legally dubious things that make biking much safer, yet everybody hates that as well.

> There's a reason why drivers of motor vehicles don't typically drive in the door zone.

Have you ever been in New York? Plenty of car lanes themselves are near the door zone, not to mention bike lanes themselves ARE the door zone usually.

I don't mean to be aggressive, but the endless victim blaming towards bicyclists gets really tiresome. I really wish that people who just dismiss these complaints out of hand would bike to work in NYC for just a week.
Aren't catalytic converters installed to meet federal emission standards? They might not be explicitly mandated, but in practice you can't meet the standards without one. In which case it's just a factually false statement.
This would be great if it helped me rent the cars I’m interested in buying. I’m trying to evaluate an Audi Q5 vs an Acura MDX right now and an extremely annoying thing is that I can’t easily rent one from the dealership to take on a weekend trip and see how comfortable it is after a few hundred miles driving.

>To manipulate perception of race, each resume is assigned either a very African American sounding name or a very White sounding name. The results show significant discrimination against African-American names: White names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. We also find that race affects the benefits of a better resume. For White names, a higher quality resume elicits 30 percent more callbacks whereas for African Americans, it elicits a far smaller increase.
Send a GDPR request anyway. Many companies do not track what region their users live in, or what parts of it came from what regions, etc. They get a GDPR request and they just file it in the queue for processing. All they know initially is your name and e-mail when you send in the request.
The whole problem with ipv6 is that earlier adaptors have not much advantages (while still having to support ipv4 anyway) whereas late adaptors will have it much easier (better ecosystems, much less bugs anywhere else, problems are documented and well understood, infrastructure is tested, etc.). The incentives from the business side are just plain wrong. They can change when CGNAT causes problems. But they don't as long as other stuff is more important.
This activates my existential dread pretty hard. The idea of never existing again after I die and there being no afterlife is pretty scary by itself, but the idea of this life repeating infinitely is somehow even worse. Though I guess each individual experience in the infinite continuum would be isolated so it's not like I'm remembering all of my past lives, in which case I guess it doesn't matter either way. It's a weird mental rabbit hole to go down.
This was fun but really short ... I must have missed the part where it explained the correlation between the color and the noise pattern. Why is it "pink" versus "chartreuse"?

Sometimes when I'm at the edge of sleep and a loud noise occurs, it may jolt me without immediately causing me to open my eyes. A pattern then appears in my vision that is invariably white on black (or seems to be) and usually looks like a splash. The title of this article led me to think there might be some discussion of that how a noise affects our visual/color receptors in the brain because there must be some overlapping wires in my head ...
I find it clean but very confusing.

e.g., if I'm looking at the Sourcehut source code here: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/

I would expect to be "in" the Sourcehut project, and clicking any of the links at the top would take me to builds, todo, lists, etc. related to that project...but it doesn't, and I don't see any way to go to those things related to the project.

And, to add further confusion, even though I'm logged in, clicking any of those links invites me to login/register again. Frankly, I have no idea WTF is going on in this UI. It looks fine, but it's not at all easy to use for me.
Clearly OT but the excessive reliance on foo and bar in many of my early C lang learning examples really slowed down my ability to transfer said techniques into something meaningful. Eventually one of my friends working in the Visual C++ team (I'm dating myself here) explained the connection of foo and bar to fubar and kind of felt like this!
This is just completely wrong. Garmin watches only need to be charged every few days of normal use and it's not a problem at all. Habits are irrelevant, just throw it on the charger for a few minutes when you see the battery gauge getting low.

Cats are required everywhere, but in CA they need to contain much more precious metals to meet the state standards than they would for just the national requirements. Most automakers choose to standardize on CA emissions standards nationally.

> The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is stricter on their regulations. CARB requires more precious metals and rigorous testing which is why they cost more than EPA catalytic converters.

We’re acting like this is a problem that effects both parties equally when it’s clearly not. Who are the Russian trollbots helping? Who denies climate change and climate science? Who routinely lies? It’s primarily one political party. So Facebook saying they don’t want to get involved is just to appease republicans and they even do things like add Breitbart to the “quality news” tab... they’re clearly not doing all his to be impartial or neutral—-it’s purely to appease republicans who have to lie and deceive voters or else they’d lose.
Wow, those might actually fit in my ear, unlike every other bud Apple ever produced.
Tough luck? Sounds like people complaining about big government requiring them to have catalytic converters want big government to regulate markets so they don’t have to have catalytic converters.

Quite impressive cognitive dissonance.
Not quite the same situation. Amazon published the original Dynamo whitepaper with DynamoDB being a non-opensource implementation. Many other NoSQL datastores were built since the whitepaper's publication in 2007.
I have an alternative explaination for some of the names. Usually feminine names are longer--often just longer versions of the male equivalent.

Think Patrick vs Patricia, Jesse vs Jessica, Robert vs Roberta etc. It seems a lot of the gender switching names started as short forms of longer names, but then just became full names. Eg Bobby, Jackie, Jessie.

These are two of the major unsolved problems blocking the graduation of alpha to beta. The latter problem falls under single-sign-on, and the former problem falls under the project hub milestone. Rest assured, both are known and going to be taken care of, and part of why it's still considered an alpha. Your patience is appreciated :)

> Largely because the opioid crisis has started to impact a lot of middle class households, which has helped to humanize the problems with drug addiction.

Interesting take! I've always thought it's because of the change in viewpoints towards marijuana (and to a lesser extent, psychedelics).

Attitudes towards recreational marijuana use are far more liberal than they used to be. As it became more socially acceptable it caused much of America to re-examine attitudes towards penalizing drug usage in general, if only because it felt draconian to imprison someone from their milieu for smoking their illegal drug of choice (marijuana).
My question on all of this: Free speech is free speech. So why does Facebook give a pass to political ads, but other kinds of ads and speech are subject to some kind of judgment?

One data point: my father made a similar filter and was running it constantly. One night the fan inexplicably caught on fire, burned down the living room and almost burned down the house. So either get good quality fan, or spend the money on ceritifed purifier that can run for long hours at a time.
I'd like to see this scrutiny extended to real estate investment as well - commercial and residential. If CCP has strategies for investing in Tech to make them behave in a way more favorable to their interests, it makes sense that they would have a real estate strategy to capitalize on that as well.
Not the first time I've heard this joke. Is this a real task commonly done on teams at Google? Is it due to monorepo particulars?
As a designer who has been part of small and large teams there is a critical problem is solves which makes it worth it: Versioning.

Versioning is hell, there are git-like solutions like Abstract or Cactus but aside from those solutions being half-baked, the need for versioning at all disappears with multiuser/multiplayer. You have one doc, one source of truth. When I work with other designers, PMs, copywriters, etc. Who all need to make edits for one reason or another, it because a nightmare really quickly.

The fact is 99% of the time, you'll be in the file alone. Just like Google Docs. But when you need it, it saves you a lot of time.
I don't disagree, but you might be confusing the chicken and egg. Maybe if Apple actually documented JXA... (it's actually quite useful).
>> since catalytic converts could also improve fuel efficiency.

For curious, I think this is because fuel economy and complete/proper combustion are directly at odds with each other. Better MPG means nastier exhaust, so a better catalytic converter will help clean that up. OP?
Stop being morally depraved and have some goddamn sense and maybe we can “speak as adults”. What the fuck is “rounding up all the HIV positive people” _other_ than throwing them into a camp?

I don’t have “debates” with fascists because your ideology is violent and should be met in kind. I don’t give a shit about putting my effort into my argument because you obviously don’t give a shit about basic moral decency. Fuck you.

You know what did solve things? Shooting the goddamn thugs who’s idea it was to throw HIV positive people into camps in the first place.
> If you accept the argument that forbidding political ads is not possible

I don’t agree (at least insofar as this is their policy and not, say, a legal restriction). I think they can get reasonably close using good judgment, and there will always be arguments about the edges. Such is life. We can’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.

None of this argument is about regulation or coercion, by the way. This is really about what I think their own policies should be, not about government regulation of political speech, which is an even bigger minefield.
> If you're a frequent car rental customer and are part of some of the bigger companies' loyalty programs (Avis Preferred, National Emerald, etc.) and typically rent from airport locations, than the rental experience can actually be really great.

I'm none of those things, and when I've rented the experience has been great.

> On the several occasions I used one of the big car rental companies, I'd pay in excess of $80/day for a midsize sedan, trek to a branch which was often far from where I lived, and wait in line to sign a bunch of paperwork at a desk

Every rental agency I've rented with has had pickup service of some sort (in the last few years, usually Uber/Lyft ordered by the rental office), and because they are smaller footprint and have business driven by accessibility, they tend to be more conveniently located for more people than dealerships.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for your explanation, but I found this comment very useful. I actually just bought an old used server to play around with something like this. I want to build a set of virtual workstations for different functions - making music, surfing the net, reading news - that I can remote into from various devices. This is an interesting project, thanks for sharing!
I would love this. Similarly, I often use the URL bar as a sort of pivot point before pasting some bash command into my shell. It would be nice to have some kind of intermediate scratch pad that is a temporary-unless-touched kind of element, like what happens when you take a screenshot on macOS.
It’s really not that bad. You remember your prefix and then manually assign in your /64. The address space is so sparse the first part is easy to remember - so really we are talking about 24-32 bits hexadecimal here.
I've come to realize that there are two camps here: those who appreciate SQL's structure and those who like the left-to-right ORM navigation of relations.

I do have to admit that it is awfully convenient to use a REPL to write a long chain query using an ORM. I do often run into limitations, and knowing that the solution in plain SQL is so simple is very annoying. The idea is to allow convenient composition, but following the structure of SQL rather than parent-children navigation so there aren't paint-yourself-in-a-corner cases.
You're missing this little bit: Tether is not asking questions (of a KYC/AML nature) at a scale where they are required to be asking those questions, and the only people who would agree to work with them turned out to be criminals (for not asking those questions), who skimmed off money from Tether in the process. But don't worry, because the government will totally make them whole because there is no way that innocent little Tether could have known of all the illegal shenanigans going on… breaks down in riotous laughter
Thank you for your feedback!

You're right, the essay needs a better explanation on what a ket and a quantum state is. I'll figure something out.

Excellent point with the superposition, I'll add that in! Same with the normalization - while adding the `is_valid` method to the struct makes sense programming story -wise, it'd be great to justify its origins and implications.

As for using Rust being pointless - I am writing this blog post series for three reasons: learning more Rust by doing, learning more quantum computing by doing, and sharing my journey as a tutorial. Using Rust for the sake of learning (and hopefully helping others learn) Rust is in my opinion a perfect reason to use Rust.

As for calling this QC - I'd clarify that this code does not intend to be a production-grade QC library, and the blog post series does not intend to be an exact, axioms-and-proofs type of an university level course that prepares you for the industry in one go. I'd think of it more as a Todo MVC app building journey with a quantum flavor - or something. That being said, I do plan to add more QC features in the next posts of the series, and incrementally add to the accuracy as much as I feasibly can. All this feedback here and links to more materials are helping me immensely, I want to learn more about this stuff!

Thank you for calling it very cute - I really appreciate that! ️
I have never used Tcl but this headline truly intrigued me. It sounds like the antithesis of JavaScript's "everything is an object". An object is very abstract whereas a string is very ... literal? I know many generic operations I can already do with a string but then inspecting its contents (which would be a generic operation) may reveal other capabilities, restrictions, what have you. Hmm ...
This was pointed out elsewhere but needs to be repeated:

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2019/oct...

The regulations exist in the exact opposite direction as you claim - TV networks are required to air even untruthful ads as not to run afoul of regulations governing political ads, which means Facebook's policy is closely aligned with the actual regulations as they exist.

Also, most newspapers at least online are are outsourcing part of their ad placement to third-party ad tech companies so I'd be shocked if there was any editorial control.
Not just raw bandwidth, but also NAT relies on session tracking, and the NAT device has a limited amount of memory and therefore sessions available. It's often a lot easier to augment bandwidth than to augment available sessions.

As an ML practitioner in a large ecommerce company, I totally agree. When I evaluate third party tools, 99% have no use at all for me. Things like Algolia or Rekognition or Clarifai.

Even Sagemaker and Fargate are mostly not useful to me as my company can easily operate its own k8s platform.

Open source tools for model building are great and a small team of engineers can write whatever odds & ends that aren’t covered, or make scalable implementations.

Notebook platforms like Databricks are similarly useless. A notebook is not a frontend to a cluster and notebooks are universally poor development environments even for the very tasks they are advertised.

The main thing that matters for ML development is how quickly & easily you can put an arbitrary container or VM into a deployment environment. You’re always going to need to rapidly change your container or VM, have common ancestors that get specialized to support GPU training or some web server application layer. Making the shortest possible distance between the definition of this environment and deployment of it is the whole game.

The type of tools I’m willing to pay for are specialized database engines, rapid data annotation tools, and specialized hardware environments.

I have no time for some “platform” tool for data provenance, notebook environments, model tracking, model-as-a-service APIs like Rekognition, or anything where I upload data and get back a model.

Off-topic, but the ‘Dr Google’ thing is interesting. Something that makes it more nuanced in that particular case is that a patient will have better insight into the state of their own body in many ways than a physician will.

I’ve been watching a series called ‘Mystery Diagnosis’ about people with rare diseases and how they were eventually diagnosed. Something you hear most of them say is along the lines of ‘Finally I met this doctor that actually listened to everything I had to say’. It’s a really interesting series — and damn does it remind you how lucky you are to be mostly healthy!
Not only are they required but CA requires $pecific ones with their CARB seal of approval. I had an older car from outside CA that never needed to comply with CA’s rules. When I moved to CA I tried to do the right thing by installing a working cat and tuning my car so it did not pollute. Got it to blow clean as a whistle but the state still failed me because it wasn’t one of their expensive approved devices. Ended up having to sell it out of state because CA labeled my car as “tampered.” You cant win with these guys.
