First of all, having 0.02% blood alcohol limit (I.e. effectively a zero tolerance) is a good and cheap start.

Next comes the expensive things: Replace the car fleet with large, safe and modern cars. Build infrastructure like pedestrian walkways etc to have few unprotected people in traffic. Replace crossings with roundabouts and rebuild motorways and other high speed roads to never have oncoming traffic (separating railings etc). Have extensive automated speed monitoring, including average-speed monitoring, i.e. multiple speed cameras that time the passage of cars over some distance such as through a tunnel.
Oh, that's really nice to hear! Any improvement suggestions? Or maybe new plugins you'd like to see?
They do, for the most part. According to the NPRA around 94% of drivers in cities and 95,2% for longer trips outside of cities use a seatbelt. They claim that around 30-40 lives would have been saved yearly if everyone wore a seatbelt.

Labour will say your taxes will increase, liberals will promise more tax cuts and everyone will vote for Liberal again.
>You act as if the SAT score is a predictive of future success.

It's a predictor of your odds of graduating from University.

>Do you know how easy it is for parents of means to pay for “sat tutorials” that will help their kids improve their scores significantly?

Children of Parents who care about their education will do well. News at 11.

>So only the rich should go to the good schools?

That's not what I said at all. There are lots of good schools providing good education out there. State universities, by and large, are phenomenal, frequently with a good tuition for in-state students. You don't need a boutique humanities degree from a high priced private college. You can leave those to the rich.

>Student loans are or should be based on the ability to pay back loans based on future earnings

Sure. I don't disagree with that. It's why nobody complains about doctor school debt load, because their field pays well.

What's disgusting is giving a non-affluent student tens of thousands per year in debt to get a humanities degree.

And that's the problem .... we're not discriminating enough by the chosen degree. Federal loans should discriminate by the program.

>Most loans are based on credit, prior repayment history and income - three things that students don’t have.

You're still operating within the current system where tuition has been distorted due to massive injection of federally guaranteed loans into the system.

There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to choose a good school and work part-time or do school part-time and pay your way (at least mostly). This is possible today even in the distorted market.

And finally, are you really arguing that loans should be given to individuals who cannot afford them and will not afford them with the degree they will get??
As this is true random, I don't think endurance or even number of tries would make any difference. It's like saying continuously trying the same number at the lottery would finally give you the jackpot. That is not mathematically true, unless you try an infinite number of times.
I can take examples but I fear the more specific we get the higher the risks becomes that people dig down at the preferred side.

As an example of undermining and disregarding rule of law, in the US no party has respected surveillance laws as far as 2001 and likely further back. As an example from here in Sweden, government officials regularly undermine and disregard the law in regard to how open contracts between government and companies. As a global example, we saw on Wikileaks how almost all countries classified information in order to hide political embarrassing facts from going public. All this is authoritarian behavior with varied degree of harm, and the laws they undermine or breaks are laws that got written in order to restrict authoritarian rule.

In terms of the free press, political alignment is the tool of authoritarian rule. If the political party in power own the press, get campaign money from the press, and have a captured audience through the press, then the press is not free. The political party will grant interviews, space, time and opportunity to those they favor, and denying the same to the opposing side. Studies from both the US show this pattern to be very real during elections, and popular media often demonstrate this pattern in movies and TV shows.

In regard to facts, sources help but its not a panacea. A relative new media trick by authoritarians when faced with investigative journalism is to do double recording of the interview, and then rush to be first to publish a editorialized version that favors ones own side with link to the full version. This way you get to capture the narrative, and the small minority that have time and energy to follow the several hours long interview are at minimum primed to your message.

Just look at the huge traffic fatality rate in the USA despite the 'safe' SUV trend.

Better roads & infrastructure (which lead to less car use and slower traffic), driver education, enforcing traffic laws do help though.

It is required to get one in your country of residence when it expires (and licenses that are valid for life can be limited to two years), or if it is lost, stolen, or damaged. That's not what I would consider "without time limits," and certainly not what I would consider "as valid" as a local Norwegian license. It's more of an extension of the several months or year that people from any other country get.

Labor were also saying that taxes will increase, I think that is the major factor for their loss.

What? People lifted themselves out of poverty, not the authoritarian regime. Are you a CCP troll? This talking point is frequently used by CCP propaganda.
That’s not a fair comparison. Hundreds of tons of train of 100kmh take several km to stop.
Seatbelt issue is probably going away.

My car will nag the hell out of me if anyone isn't wearing a seatbelt at speeds over 20 km/h. I assume this is true for most modern cars.

Part of the population who didn't grow up with seatbelts is aging. I remember my late grandmother hated the seatbelts, they didn't exist when she grew up. Often she would pretend to use the belt, holding it in place by hand so that it looked like she was wearing it. Stupid, and illogical, but that's how it is..

That only leaves the "cool" youths. Once "modern" naggy cars become old and cheap enough for them, they'll probably start too (or go out of their way to disable the sensor, or uncomfortably wear a seatbelt behind their back - turning a passive action into an active one.).

There are people who have a fondness for some ex-communist societies and or their icons like Marx, the Che, and others knowing the ideology resulted in millions of deaths and other horrors, are they oblivious to the implications?

I take it you’re thinking of virtual DOM only, which is not the problem, or the component class which hides all of the details.

React is huge, it’s unlikely you’ll implement the synthetic events, lifecycle hooks, bottom up updates, context, hooks with their magical stacks, rendering “optimizations” and all of react-specific warts.

There are simple reimplementations like hyperapp and preact and I completely recommend using those instead. I really meant React the library and ecosystem are at fault, not the general model.

> frustrating and illogical!

That’s certainly a matter of opinion (and as a German currently living in the UK I disagree): Having separate green light for pedestrians means that the average waiting time is much longer (both for cars and pedestrians) and, further, green light times are often kept much shorter. Having simultaneous green light for parallel car and pedestrian traffic does mean you have to pay more attention, and could theoretically increase the risk of accident (but I’m not convinced that this is the case in practice — in my experience it definitely isn’t!). But on the other hand it means that my time waiting at traffic lights is greatly reduced on average. I thus find the UK system a lot more frustrating.

I actually see the point of the UK system and think it’s entirely defensible. But both systems have their pros and cons.
I should have clarified probably that I was referring to this part of your post:

Managing TabView Selections in SwiftUI
It’s interesting to read these, and important that they are not forgotten, but I don’t see these as viable alternate realities for mainstream modern programming. They were relegated to, and remain in the margins for actual reasons, not just by accident. In some cases such as SICP and arguably a few of the others those ‘margins’ are still actually important niches from which they still influence and benefit the community.

I think there are some ‘accidents’ of technological choices that have had unfortunate consequences for the modern industry. We could have done with something better than JavaScript for example, but these aren’t ‘paradigm’ issue (I tried avoiding that word, but there it is). By and large the direction the industry has gone has been chosen for sound practical reasons.

In the end, none of the alternate history directions the industry could have taken are off the table forever. If Oberon or Smalltalk had been a superior way to build software, there’s nothing stopping someone taking their evergreen fundamentals and building them into a modern system. If that doesn’t happen, again there are probably reasons for that.
To be fair, if they left their oil in the ground, then global oil prices would be higher, and alternatives (relatively) cheaper. Anyone who digs up oil and gas ensure it's cheaper to burn it.
Do you know any FOSS camera?
That assumes that those not wearing seat belts would be alive if they did. That’s possible, but not a given, and likely not completely true.

One way to (sort-of) check that would be to compare that 1/3rd with the fraction of all drivers that do not wear a seat belt.
This is just a linguistic misunderstanding. "Det er ikke så moro" in Norwegian literally translates to "it's not so fun", but normally translates closer to "it's not pleasant/convenient" in meaning.

When you're not a native English speaker, it's very common to have subtle differences in intent lost in translation due to different ideomatic expressions. It's a good idea to be charitable (or ask for clarification) wrt. the perceived intent of the speaker, especially when they're from a different culture.
As Stallman said, this technology would have been Stalin's dream.

We must control the amount of data that we put in the hands of others, and we must do that avoiding the use of services that tracks us, avoid Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and we must use only encrypted communication. Who says that in our democratic country in a couple of years will not arrive a dictator that will use this data that was collected to repress us? To me is not only possible, but probable, seeing the cult of the strong man in power that is appreciated nowadays.
Just one comment, large cars are not necessarily safer, and small cars can be safe, too.

SUVs are not only notorious for their awful gas mileage but also how unsafe they can be for the pedestrian or other car they hit if they do.

Dear Gavinray

What you said is very intuitive however not entirely true.
Let me explain:
Bacteria are happy no matter what as they (as community of different bacteria) can adjust to content of the human gut; i.e. when we feed simple sugars (in contrast to fibre that is a polymer made of many sugars) some microorganisms will be more than happy to go on simple sugar-diet that requires less energy to consume it. However it can disregulate metabolic network of microbiome that has been co evolving with fibre based diet rather than simple sugars. Early humans consumed much more plant based fibre and therefore we hardwired our human metabolism and twicked immune response to co exist with microbiome that consumes fibre.
Let me give you an example: when microbiome gets fibre from our diet it returns us side products of fibre metabolism including short chain fatty acids (scfa). They(scfa) stimulate many receptors in our body and keep us healthy.
So in summary: microbiome will adjust its metabolism to what is available and will be always happy given there is any food. Microbes can even consume our own mucosa when we starve or when we die.
It is more about keeping the community of microbes at homeostasis (in contrast to dysbiosis). Keeping them on diet that we used to feed them for hundreds of thousands years of our co evolution even preceding primates appearance. Our bodies depend on side products of microbial metabolism of what we used to feed them and definitely not of what western like diet feeds them nowodays. We live in the world of disregulated microbial metabolism. It disregulates us, our own metabolism, our brains, our immune responses, almost all tissues. We cause dysbiosis of the global ecosystems on the planet. This is reflected in the dysbiosis of our own gut. We are degenerating our microbial shield and degenerate our and other species.
Buisness schools need a new lecture: Management as a Liability: Tech debt, tech insolvency and what one can do to prevent it.

They start debates when you talk about object orientation.
It doesn't count the emissions from burning the exported oil I think the argument is.

You can argue that's the buyer's responsibility, and you can argue that it's the extractor's responsibility. Both arguments are valid. It's a mix of both I'd say: the extractor is making market prices lower than they would be if the oil had not been extracted.
Yep. Sometimes it’s time to shut up and give that Yak and good hard shaving.
LNP were also pushing hard that taxes will increase under labour with their big push on the 'Labor will introduce death tax' which was highly unethical and misleading.
My main problem with async is that it's much harder to build a mental model of what exactly is going on. Admittedly, I only had to deal with existing code so far doing only minor work in it so you can definitely say it's due to lack of experience. However it seems that while problems like concurrent access to shared memory known from traditional threaded code don't exist, having to think about what can block etc. is of equal burden.

misinformation is the obvious answer, I'm unsure why you couldn't find that counterexample yourself.

We literally have misnamed bills put forth by our leaders in the US to misinform the populace. And it's acceptable to do so.
Absolutely, but large cars are typically marginally safer at least for the occupant. Norway has quite good separation of cars and pedestrians, and cars are quite large on average so in a collision there is a decent chance that both cars are large (e.g. SUV's) and not just one.
> One interesting observation on Oslo is that, pedestrians do cross the street when it's red for them

This is mostly true for Germany as well. At least in big cities.
There are so many nice dishes that don't have or need meat. I think a large thing is that people don't experiment much with their food. I have to travel a lot for work and especially in Asia and Africa, there are tons of dishes which are easy to make but very rich in flavour and much more 'refined' (in my opinion) than having a slab of meat on my plate. I sometimes think I want a steak, but after 2 bites I start thinking how much better that would've been 1/3 of it in an Indian curry (which of course is blasphemy but I'm not religious or from India) or in a thai curry dish. And once you properly make it into a dish which is one melange of integrated tastes, the 'real meat' thing becomes far less pressing. Same with meat in potato oven dishes, Lasagna or Pizza => unless you are into those overkill hard tastes (which I personally don't like), you can learn to cook them without meat while they still have the texture and taste for (open minded) meat eaters.

A slab of meat like steak will be many years before that comes from a lab for a decent price. But worked into a nice curry or some usages for sausages etc, I say we are close or even there already.
Trains transports at 0.41 MJ/t·km. If the person weights 0.1t it would take a train packed full of people 41MJ per person to transport them 100km, or a bit more than one litre of gasoline. I don't think it is possible to go significantly below that without transporting them on mag rails or vacuum pipes.

Secondly we talked about 0.005l cars, not 0.05l, so it would be a few hundreds times more efficient than train transportation.
This is no surprise if you follow the wave of evidence for the electrical universe model. It puts electricity and magnetism as the main shaping force of the universe while considering gravity a negligible influence.

Yep, the first two books were my reality at different points in my career. It still amazes me how much tougher a lot of tools are compared to how programs were built in those environments. It was amazing building in the small to build up to the large (Forth) or just sheer joy of Smalltalk.
Then Oslo is making great progress! Ideally, every modern city should nudge residents away from cars and towards other means of transport by offering better alternatives. The 'car and parking for everyone' model has failed, just look at Los Angeles where about 1/3rd of the city's area is parking space, yet you have traffic jams everywhere.
I wouldn't use separate reducers for the ajax results and the user's data. Just pass the necessary data from your ajax call along in your action payload and perform your data accounting in the user reducer.
School is the community kids spend half their waking lives in. Of course they will learn about morals there. Teachers are a big part of it, as is the curriculum. Both are to some degree checked by the democratic process.

None of this is new or totalitarian or particularly controversial in practice, since most of morality is not particularly controversial in the first place (in a given community at a specific time). People with divergent morality from the society they live in avoid public schools, one way or another.

On Dublin: 20 seconds green for pedestrians is on the generous side. "Scramble" type light sequences for pedestrians are few. Often only one or two arms of junctions have any pedestrian signal, which probably further confuses visitors. Cyclists selectively disregard road markings/signs/signals and frequently compete with pedestrians during crossings.

In some areas extra lights for new cycle paths operate asynchronously to the road traffic lights, these can be within 25m, worsening the gridlock and the pedestrian invasion of junctions.

In city centre areas a 30kmph speed limit is in force. A green for a motorist only ever means "proceed with caution", and a pedestrian already crossing the road at a junction always has priority (something many drivers don't seem aware of). Urban road user mortality is ~50% higher than Sweden, still relatively low compared to the EU overall, but the pending 2019 stats are worse.
