The fatality statistics aren’t just biking, it’s all traffic fatalities where a child is a pedestrian. While few children bike to school (2.2%) many walk (20%). See: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/12/03/report-more-kids-are-....

Biking and other road activities is even more common for recreational use: https://www.bizjournals.com/bizwomen/news/latest-news/2019/0...

> A recent national poll by the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital asked parents about bike habits among children ages 4 to 13 and found four in five parents said their child rides a bike, 50 percent ride non-motorized scooters and 17 percent use skateboards.
They're going to follow customer demand. If demand for electric cars remains low, they aren't going to abandon the types of cars that are selling really well for them in order to simplify the production process. And there are a lot of reasons to think that demand for electric cars is not going to skyrocket all of a sudden: range anxiety, lack of charging stations, gas prices being fairly low, the time it takes to charge, etc.
Wow is the ban thing a real risk that anyone can substantiate? That's horrifying and I had the same thought that everyone else did about using a burner email, which is apparently impossible.

Personally I don't think I can go straight up Heroku or DO because I like things like firestore/dynamo, S3, etc etc. But this is pushing me to move everything I do over to AWS. The only thing is I am very comfortable in GCP, so that would kind of suck. bleh.
Active duty personnel isn't in the labor force in either status. The full name for the widely quoted BLS stat is "noninstitutionalized civilian labor force".

If I have my numbers right, there are ~120M men ages 20+ and ~125.5M women 20+ in the US. That's basically equal to the BLS female labor force stat, but about ~3M too high for the male labor force stat, with prisoners and military personnel making up the vast majority of the difference. It's not a huge gap in numbers, but both exclusions are overwhelmingly prime-age people and skew the male LFPR towards retirees.

(I should have been clearer, but my first set of bullets are about exclusions from the LFPR, and my second are about data in the LFPR but not in nonfarm payrolls. "Nonfarm payroll" appears to be a strict subset of the labor force "employed" pool. Both measures exclude active military personnel, although nonfarm payrolls uses a slightly broader standard which also covers intelligence agencies.)
I have seen much change coming from tools that instead of requiring a different way to do things, just allows both, but makes the different one more productive while not impacting the previous one.

Of course, the tools must have some political support. But they do enable status-quo changes.

> and that an erroneous MCAS activation would be quickly diagnosed as a runaway stabilizer. The 2013 memo casts doubt on the former, and the two MAX accident sequences disproved the latter.

This does not mention that an Emergency Airworthiness Directive was sent to all 737MAX crews after the LA crash explaining exactly how to resolve the runaway trim issue, which is:

1. restore normal trim using the column trim switches

2. cut off the stabilizer trim with the console cutoff switch

The text is:

Boeing Emergency Airworthiness Directive

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT."

https://theaircurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/B737-MA...

Both the LA and EA crews repeatedly successfully countered the runaway trim with the electric trim switches. The LA crew never took the next step of cutting off the trim. The EA crew did cutoff the trim, but did not trim to normal first.

Dealing with runaway trim is a "memory item" for the 737, meaning the pilots are supposed to know about the cutoff switches that are prominently placed on the center console in easy reach.

I remember fixing a bunch of bugs in 1990 because someone started running SATAN against our hosts and there mere act of sending ill-formed requests to various ports would cause the associated daemons to crash. What's amazing is that this still happens. In half a day I'll bet I could find at least a dozen super popular services that can be crashed by sending random data to one of their network ports using a default configuration.
I used to rewriting down TODO list every day (like using pen and paper) and then looking through it every day (first thing in the morning though). At the time I had quite a few tasks that was long-term and also not fully under my control (i.e. I had to wait for somebody's input, and that somebody was not very cooperative). I figured this list helps me put pressure on myself but in the same time demotivates me a bit due to those long-term tasks..

It's not irrational at all. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for people aged 5-29 [1].

Even if there are other, larger, causes of death, that still doesn't make it irrational to want a city where one major cause of death for children has been eliminated. Especially when the cause of death in question is something as unnecessary as using a car to move around a city.

I was really excited to try this until I saw that the only extraction methods are pdfminer, finereader, and tesseract. I was hoping there was something you rolled on your own. I've been trying for a long time to parse tables (and nested tables) but the available extractors seem to only work on really simple, idealized tables with virtually no skew or warping. The best I've found so far as Amazon's Textract, but it's not that great either. Alas, every attempt I've ever made at generalized table extraction has quickly regressed to templates.

Your perspective isn’t “heretical”, it’s ignorant. The “paradox” has been resolved since 1930 or so, in the form of quantum field theory.
Wow, this is some really biased observation on your part.

This is anecdotal too, but in my experience women spend FAR more money on unnecessary stuff than men. Here's many examples:
- donations to churches
- designer clothes
- luxury SUVs
- jewelry (the conflict diamond trade wouldn't exist without women)
- eating at expensive restaurants
- McMansions
- stuff for those McMansions (e.g., custom-made "window treatments": my Mom just spent $15K on "window treatments" for her new house!)
- luxurious vacations (as opposed to, for instance, staying in hostels)

Of course, I'm generalizing, and probably mostly describing the Gen-X to Boomer white American woman demographic, but it's what I've seen the most.

As for men, I work with a bunch of Millennial and younger men, and they spend money on Magic cards and video games, and that's about it. That stuff costs hundreds of dollars, and that's about it usually unless you go really nuts. A woman can easily spend a few hundred dollars on a single article of designer clothing. Meanwhile, these younger men don't seem to really give a shit about cars the way men in older generations did.

And of course the things on my list aren't all exclusive to women; some men like eating at nice restaurants too, some men have BMW SUVs, etc., but in my observation, most of those purchases are either done by women directly, or insisted on by them if they're married.

I can see why you think that women tend not to have "expensive hobbies" the way some men do, but even here you're actually wrong. Here in my metro area, the single women all seem to be members of some kind of exercise class (like Zumba, Barre, Orange Theory, etc.). Those memberships are quite expensive, and easily comparable to men spending money on Steam games. Single women also almost all have dogs, and those can be really expensive too when you account for fancy food, grooming, dog-walking, dog-sitting, etc. The problem is that you're not looking at where people are actually spending money, and you're not counting women's purchases as "hobbies". My most recent ex-girlfriend had two big "hobbies" before I met her: one was her Barre class, which was hundreds of dollars per month. The other was going out to eat: she basically had a hobby of going out every weekend with her girlfriends to some new super-fancy restaurant in DC. That too would amount to hundreds of dollars per month. The other thing I've seen with single professional women is they spend a LOT of money on alcohol: they like to go "out for drinks" a lot, and of course a single drink at a nice DC restaurant will probably run $15. That really adds up over a month. So no, not a lot of women buy 3D printers or fix up old cars, but they do have luxurious things they like to spend $$$$ on.

You can say that about almost anything.

Future technology does not matter when there is no implementation
Fair point, so then let me reframe the inconsistency as: there’s a phenomena that appears exhibits properties of both a particle and a wave but it can’t be both. So what is it?

And the criticism of mainstream thought in physics would be: its wrongfully dismissive of my question, and ignoring the important job of looking for the answer.
The number one factor that leads to one future or the other is battery price.

With high battery prices the market stays with hybrids longer.

With cheap and plentiful batteries it moves faster to full EV.

What'll be interesting is if some vendors have access to lots of cheap batteries and so are living in one future while competitors are in the other.
I never knew anyone with CF until college. Didn't even know how serious it was.

First day of the orientation, at our dorm I made a new friend who I later found out has CF. He would take medication and enzymes every day and do his CF treatment with the vibrating jacket. He seemed very healthy and energetic otherwise, except for the occasional cough.

I stayed in touch with him over the four years. I've witnessed him go to parties, sing, study, help his friends. He was always very public about how he has CF.

I remember at one point a mutual friend of ours told me "I really like him, I'd love to be in a relationship with him but chances are he won't be with us in a few years, I am not sure if I want to get myself involved knowing that's what's going to happen". I didn't think too much of it, maybe thought she was worried too much.

This friend went on to get a few great internships, first one nearby so no flight necessary but the second was in Texas, flying from Illinois to Texas a few times, he must have been exposed to some pathogens in during the flights and this guy whom I knew to have had his CF under control for 4 years, whom had his chance to "make a wish" and had his wish despite make a wish foundation dragging their feet for years hoping maybe he would die before getting his wish, as they didn't expect him to live this long to begin with, he basically worsened and passed away in 4 days, literally a few weeks after graduating college.

Not sure if the recent advancements would have helped but whenever CF is mentioned, I think of him.

He lived his entire life with doctors telling him he will die young or he won't live to finish elementary school, high school and then college. He finished college.
On my first programming job (back in the 1980s), my manager said that studies showed that the maximum amount of real work you could get out of engineers was five hours a day. That's not because they're lazy or have a lot of meetings; it's a mental throughput limit. Rather than trying to run faster than anyone else can, maybe the correct answer is to accept that your brain has limits.
>> A photon isn't both a particle and a wave. It's something else that happens to share some features with both.

But physicists have given up on figuring out what it IS. They have decided that having math that can predict the outcome of experiments is enough. They're not wrong, but it feels rather unsatisfying. IMHO there have been a couple avenues worth exploring that are being largely ignored.

Enforcement systems like this stress me out because I hate being policed. It’s much better to have the routine of a cashier or a turnstile than to be randomly inspected and assumed guilty until proven innocent.
This is a big reason I avoided a Tesla this time around. If you live in Colorado and ski, you'll not only often be parking your car in extremely cold temperatures overnight, but also know that blockages on I-70 during sub-freezing temperatures are relatively common, and those blockages can add anywhere from half an hour to 6 hours to a commute. There's already a high enough risk that the battery range will be reduced in that weather, that my destination won't have a fast-charger, and that I won't be able to fully charge the vehicle overnight; but, the risk of me being unable to start the car on the highway in that weather were too much for it to be a useful option.

To be fair, Tesla is much more of a viable to me than any other EV, but as someone who works from home and only uses their car for excursions rather than daily commuting, it's not for me.

Hmm good point... but in the same time I don't have other option at the moment, with small kids everything seems challenging... (I actually contemplate to start at 5am and move my evening activities entirely to take place in the morning...)

But that definitely is good point and I'll need to think about it. I often wake up at 5am so at 6 I'm already 1 hour on my legs, already had shower and some walk on "fresh" air with my cup of coffee picked up on the way. So I don't feel sleepy or tired at that point, just not concentrated and not in the flow.

As someone who isn't familiar with this Lisp dialect / DSL, something that stands out to me is the (def-struct ...) ... (def-struct-end), (def-method ...) ... (def-func-end), (switch) ... (endswitch), and (vpif ...) ... (endif). The appeal of s-expressions is that their nested structure is supposed to delineate the abstract syntax tree of the program, with the opening and closing parentheses denoting the boundaries of a construct. IMO this language's syntax isn't faithful to the spirit of Lisp.
