I moved to the bay from LA when I was 17, having lived in both relatively sense Beverly Hills and a relatively sparse part of the Valley. I instantly couldn't believe how much better quality of life could be when you're not surrounded by a fetish for car travel, no matter the cost. The creepiest part is the Stockholm's Syndrome exhibited by all my friends who couldn't make it out of LA[1]. The logical contortions they had to go through to convince themselves that the downsides of a car-centric city don't exist were laughable (while everyone I know who lived elsewhere would happily admit that upsides to a car-centric city exist, but argue that they weren't worth the tradeoff).

(I should note that this comparison is no longer as dramatic, since LA has started making at least certain areas denser and more accessible)

[1] I graduated college during a time when the LA economy was sputtering, while SF, NY, London, Seattle, etc were booming, so the only people who stayed in LA were the ones who didn't have much going on.
Cars are liberating. I can escape from a city on a moment’s notice, travel 1000 miles on a whim in a day (and do), beholden to none. 8000 miles last summer thru remote spectacular regions, as we saw fit, was exhilarating.

Transit is stifling, taking me nowhere at inconvenience and cost.
That episode in particular was so outstanding. They really did a great job of mixing in the samples to make you hear what they were talking about. I loved the Stradivarius one too! They’ve been knocking it out of the park lately.
Vending machines kill an average of four Americans per year.

Forgive me for thinking we can't make barreling down the highway safer than buying a soda. With 300+ million people, it's not a realistic target until something supercedes driving entirely.
His argument assumes the file is text and people read the entire thing. If either of those assumptions are false, then it's not safe.

People store things in git that aren't text. Therefore it's not safe.
I run into this case all the time with my React apps that handle huge amounts of mapping data. You know what's beautiful? Just keep it simple, measure it, and add the extra complexity (eg. Array to dict memoized selectors) where performance is actually an issue.

I'm not saying all cases can be deferred until later. Sometimes you really need to address it up front. But I think most can be refactored later.
Yes, I deleted reddit altogether and rarely read/watch the news. Yes maybe this is a "privileged" position. But it's not as if I can affect much other than local happenings in my community. The thing about most political issues is that they are all more nuanced than we pretend and unless we're experts, we're probably wrong and/or underinformed so it's mostly a waste of time anyway. I stick to a few personal axioms and leave the rest
Then they're contingent on agreement and thus fail to be absolute. It is more accurate to say that truth is a negotiation.
As mentioned in that answer, these "natural independence phenomena" do seem much more interesting than Gödel's incompleteness results.
Suggested title: "Survey: How Spreadsheet.com users use spreadsheets."

I think there's sufficient difference between the average spreadsheet user and the sort of person who would sign up for a website like spreadsheet.com AND respond to a survey request that the results won't generalize well.

Imagine the difference between "how do you use email" between the registered users of a site called mailing lists.com and the average user.
You're giving Apple way too much credit on Apple Watch. They had no clue what they were doing with it. One of their original tentpole features was that it was the most accurate timepiece ever. They also thought that people were going to send each other heartbeats. They were clueless, in other words, other than that they knew there was something there.
I don't think it is.

Whilst there are the "every tab in o e window open forever" people, there are plenty of "window for task" people.

Personally, I have been a window for task person 'since forever' (tabs are context depth in said task, hence "close tabs to right" being one of the most useful features).

Nothing is going to change for the rural areas. All these articles are about urban areas that really could use some transit as they gridlock daily. LA or Boise, all major cities have shit rush hour traffic.
The problem isn't transit as much as layout. Build your cities relatively sanely instead of doing whatever the fuck LA does, and most transportation options end up reasonable. Build it as a sprawling, poorly-utilized asphalt stain on the landscape, and your hands are pretty tied.

SF is a pretty mismanaged city in general, but it's telling that complaints about transport are (IME) far less strident than complaints about everything else. There's a floor on how bad your transport experience can be based on the layout of the city: if there as gridlock on every street in San Francisco and all the subways were flooded, I could still easily walk to the equivalent of many, many square miles of a place like LA.
New people, new attempts.

Performance reviews. If you didn't demotivate your employees till now, now it's the time.

I've read somewhere that as a manager you don't have to motivate the people, you just have to be careful not to demotivate them.
Risk exists, and it's okay [1]. Yes, bad things may happen, but learnings to be independent and manage risk is a critical part of growing up.

Of course cars are a leading cause of death for children -- but that's only because children tend not to die of natural causes. They don't don't really get sick: they don't really die of heart disease, stroke or cancer. They certainly don't die of old age. That means they're basically only going to die of negligence and/or stupidity (their own or someone elses).

The chances of dying in a fatal car accident are low, 0.01% per year for the average individual. We should get rid of cars in urban areas, but it's because they're a livability issue, not because of the (low) risk associated with them.

For what it's worth, that article says "Updated: February 18, 2010", whereas this chart from The Economist seems to have data up to 2014, extrapolating to 2020:

Arguably, however, the category of "people aged 15-24" in that chart is not representative enough of "children".

Huh? Joy plots were named after Joy Division (because of their album cover), which was named for what happened in the Holocaust.

The chain of derivation is crystal clear and 100% undisputed.

The Control Strip is named after a strip of controls. There's zero evidence of derivation from something else.

This feature can probably be thought of similarly to Clojure's map access via keywords: if you write `(:something map-var)`, you'll get the value of the field ‘:something’ in the ‘map-var’ variable. I.e. keywords can be ‘executed’, and such calls get translated to map access.
Not quite, the term IC also comes with connotation you don’t want to be a manager track.

Good journalists will do the right thing no matter the standard policy, it's the bad journalists that need culture impressed upon them. Bad journalists are not good at telling who is right, so that makes bothsideism a good standard policy.
Because zero deaths, while a good thing, is not the only good thing. Are you also going to prohibit smoking? Bad eating habits? Or do only traffic deaths matter to you?

Not dying matters. I mean, duh, it really matters. But in the time when you're not dead, it's nice to be able to do some things besides just not dying.

I mean, if you even look at popular sci-fi, nobody exactly predicted the internet as it is today. It wasn't until someone coined the "information superhighway" that gears started turning. Even then, the earliest commercial websites were basically just digital brochures and catalogs. It wasn't until SaaS, search and social took off that we grasped what the specific use cases were that were going to be the dominant money makers. And the internet evolved quite a bit as a result.

Some people like me still lament the loss of the 90s internet in some ways, as it felt like a more "wild west" domain and not saturated and stale like it is today.
I should have been more specific. Probably should have said, "everywhere in SE Asia outside of Singapore."

You can't prove a negative. If they're connected and people have proof and it's relevant, they'd present it. And again, arson-related arrests are real and I'm not disputing them.

This would not even be an interesting topic if it wasn't pushed so strongly on social media with a lot of bias. (Wasn't as interesting a decade ago when it was a firefighter starting fires) So let's do a reasonable thing and drop that whole thing until someone comes up with a credible proof, not a theory abused by bots and media.
It's worth not trying to understand what happened in the first few hours, you'll rarely be correct.

The video could have been an old one that someone uploaded as misinformation.

The video can show you that the plane looks like it was shot down, but it can't show you that it was done accidentally by Iranian military.

The "reports" of it being accidentally shot down could just have been made up by someone, unsourced. Actually, it looks like they're coming from Al Hadath, which appears to be a Saudi-controlled news TV channel.
Geez. The fire from wreckage is probably not even out yet and you've done dove headfirst off of "speculation" cliff!

In your defense, though, you certainly aren't the only one. There's nothing but rampant speculaion in this thread -- some from folks who should know better.
It’s pretty much the main way to get any movies from a Windows personal drive on an iPad, etc., unless you’re using something like Plex.

Edit: added Windows clarification
For some applications it makes sense to use both. Use something that runs an OS for the high level functionality that it provides, and connect it to a microcontroller running simpler code for the stuff that has to run in real time.
I'm guessing it has something to do with sort indexes being very fast.

the original type theories, before they got co-opted by the CS rabble.

They are the same type theory! I realize you are at least partially joking, but it's worth noting.

Lambda calculus[0] came out of Church's studies[1] in the Foundations of Mathematics - the same field Russell was working on with his Logicism approach. Haskell Curry co-discovered the Curry–Howard correspondence which shows the direct relationship between computer programs and mathematical proofs.

Russell himself developed the idea of Type Hierarchy[2]

> you have a 0.01%/year chance of dying in a fatal car accident

Which sounds like very little. But life expectancy is now around 80 years. That means that your lifetime chance of dying in a car accident is 0.8%. That's high enough that, in a country of 330 million people, it adds up to a problem that's worth trying to solve.

Look, I mostly agree with you. But the "low risk" argument in your last paragraph isn't as effective as you think.

One kind of democracy, perhaps, but not the kind I support. Tyranny of the majority is not a good thing.

By that definition of urban, I live in an urban environment. We don’t have a public transport system. A sizable percentage of children who attend the local school can’t take a school bus to school - too much distance with too few busses and drivers. We’re unusually lucky in that we have two grocery stores, across the street from each other. One survives solely on good will from people who don’t want to visit that “interloping big city chain” that’s been here for two decades now.

There’s another city nine miles down the road that also matches this description, but they only have one grocery store, and its poorly enough stocked that they come over here for many of their more esoteric needs, like spices. But they also have a really good steak house, so they have that going for them.

Another nine miles brings you to another “urban” center. They have a grocery store, but it’s even smaller. And they don’t have a good steak house.

Urban. To poorly quote a movie: “I don’t think that word means quite what you think it means.”

Very easy. You just link your bank account and then you can schedule transfer from the same app. The only thing I'm not a big fan is that normally it takes up to 2 days to complete the transfer. Same if you need to withdraw money. Regular savings account are more liquid if I'm not mistaken.

As someone who has lived in cities, suburbs, and rural regions, (and has studied this issue a lot) cars definitely represent dependance to me.

If you grew up somewhere rural or suburban, you basically became a parasite to your parents, and were totally dependent on them for all of your transportation until 16 or 17 when you got a license & car. Even then you're probably gonna be a financial burden (and financially dependent) on your parents to purchase you a car if you are lucky. If you grew up in a city (or a Stars Hollow style small town), you likely got to claim that independence at a much younger age.

As a US parent who works, you are VERY likely to spend more time on your commute than with your children if you drive. We talk about 'everyone gets a trophy' culture; what many don't realize is everyone gets a trophy because if you are responsible for driving your kid to the pitch for practice, as the parent you'll be damned if your kid isn't a winner (do kids even care about little statues?).

Then, when you age, you are once again going to have to go into a phase of dependance on others for your transit much earlier than people who live in walkable communities. This is both because walkers will be healthier and remain physically able longer, and because even if they did not, they could just walk to doctors appointments, grocery stores, and other destinations necessary to their independence.

All of these things are, if not unique to the American experience of the past 50 years, at least magnified here... and I have not even gotten into suburban housing policy and the financial impacts on households of car ownership and on governments of road maintenance (spoiler: its not good).

I'd give Strong Towns a serious read; I think you might find that Chuck Marohn is better aligned with your worldview than you think.
50,000 people is still a relatively tiny city. As I noted separately, my town qualifies, and we don’t have public transportation (and rightly so: there’s too much space and nothing to transport people to).

> IME, nearly everyone on the road speeds

Virtually all of the speeding I observe is on freeways or divided highways with at least two lanes in each direction and no residences directly on the highway. I rarely if ever see people speeding on residential streets.
Those larger surface streets should be such that it is safe to drive 35 or 45 MPH on them. Dropping the speed limit to 20 or 25 MPH, not because the road calls for it, but... why? To make driving more inconvenient? Yeah, that's going to result in massive civil disobedience. It's also going to train people to ignore speed limits even when they are actually there for safety. Ironically, that's going to cause... more deaths.

The internet brings a much bigger attack surface than local people who can reach a front door, and home users access the same openssh as companies do, but companies (can) afford stronger doors. "Most people's home doors can't withstand a hit from a sledgehammer" -> "we shouldn't talk about cryptographic weaknesses in case someone abuses them" is a stretch, the comparison does break down.

Fun story: I wanted to build a hypermilling coach/trainer system about 10 years ago and got to the point of having a poor mans ACC in a Scion. It didn’t brake though, only coasted to lose speed (thus requiring driver input). So I got the wild idea of tapping into the electronic brake distribution system to apply brake pressure when I needed to slow down. I figured out the system and was ready to tap into it when I had a dream that night. I was on the highway and all of a sudden two wheels decided to lock up from braking too hard. I stopped all testing on that car on public roadways after that.

My current car is hacked to provide lane centering when lane assist is on, but it’s still operating within the bounds of the factory electronic steering (so it can’t self drive/make 90 degree turns)
