Some definitions and facts on addiction and substance dependence, terms frequently used incorrectly:

Addiction Medicine (ADM) is a recognized physician subspecialty of the American Board of Medical Specialties. [1]

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences. [2]

Dependence or physical dependence is used in the psychopharmacological context in a narrower sense, referring solely to the development of withdrawal symptoms on cessation of drug use. [3]

Bounce can definitely up the security here and make sure people storing are not anonymous.
The OP means friction in the form of costs. Payments go through several hands, the payers bank, the payments networks, the payees bank and each of them incurs costs on the transaction.
Why not? We have games that exist entirely verbally that have always been so. It doesn't seem an impossible stretch to have verbal games that involve mentally imagining a physical layout, especially because these are aliens we're talking about here who could easily have much better visualization abilities than us. Maybe it would even be an adaptation brought on by an inability to change their environment as well as we can.

Why settle for less.
We very clearly state the opening hours and make you select when you're coming back to avoid these scenarios. That seems to do the trick!
It's great if you have them, but the more common situation seems to be to jack up parking prices while transit is still abysmal.

At Georgia Tech there was a bus that ran once every 15 minutes to the subway, and even then you couldn't get everywhere on campus from that bus, you had to take another bus, leading to 20+ minutes of transfers to get anywhere. Bus shelters were mostly nonexistent in winters that featured frequent high winds and rain. Taking the bus was such a miserable experience I ended up skateboarding everywhere, which at least kept me warm.
I would have to spend a long time studying the relevant Python implementation to think I knew whether there was nondeterminism present in a given benchmark. That's a tall order.
This is a valid concern, it aleady happens and nothing stops if from happening in the future
> it takes 2 to 3 hours to get anywhere useful with it

Everyone's definition of "useful" is different. I personally run into far fewer last-mile issues with Metro Rail than I did with BART when I lived up north. Heck, BART had to run a bus service to OAK until just a few years ago, and they've had a lot more time to sort this out.

> They squandered a huge opportunity to do it right, to dig subways and put the rail on a grade-separated medium. Instead they opt for light-rail that shares the same surface roads as cars, thereby ensuring that the system is a failure.

No, they did dig subways where needed (and where geologically feasible). And they opted to use existing right-of-ways in other areas, so that the thing could actually get built. Look at the Gold Line going through South Pasadena; it cuts diagonally through a fairly dense, wealthy residential area, which it can do because the neighborhood was built up around tracks that were there long ago. Without that existing right-of-way, the whole line would have gone the way of the 710 connector.
If they fired a few useless administrative officials they could lower tuition across the board and offer free parking to students
I'd also note, freeways parallel basically every former red car route - for a reason. The sprawly nature of LA was decided by the development papers created by the PE, the freeways just followed and reinforced those patterns.
Yes! Haha love it. Adding delivery to Bounce will be a game-changer.
Then you can 'bounce your stuff'
I also has to do with expectations of the buyer. "Less than $10 p/m? Why is that? Maybe it's shite?" That initial tier is established in the minds of consumers.

I would imagine that it does lower chun. Commit to $10 and you're likeky to stay. Less, and it's no commitment at all. I don't think the seller - sans chun - has a tbing for $10. It the market setting that.
I also think you're self-selecting for desperate people who couldn't get jobs elsewhere, as most in-demand candidates would not put up with this nonsense. I know when I was looking, anywhere that had one of those 100-question inane personality tests ("Would you rather lead a meeting, or go skydiving?") etc I would bow out of the application process.
What are the differences between good and bad CEOs? From my vantage, companies sure seem to be awful at identifying these before hiring someone...
> Metro refuses to build subway stations by anything other than cut-and-cover, which means we end up with this massive stations with 20’ ceilings that cost way too much.

Isn't this the cheapest way to build stations?
China + Face++ + Sensetime are doing this. The tech is out there.
>They can also probably deliver more packages per hour with how fast electric cars can speed up and regeneratively decelerate through stop signs and delivery destinations.

Is this sarcasm??? Do you honestly think that regenerative braking is harder/faster than brakes? Are you the type of person that is hard accelerating from every stop sign in the suburbs?
You're right. I have the same criteria so I rarely buy electronics.
It sounds like so far this is only being used as a very coarse, first-pass filter. It'll definitely get gamed, though.

It would be cool if there was a website where applicants could upload their videos and the hiring outcomes, to provide data from which organization's hiring biases could be inferred.

Well for Go to not exist anywhere in the universe there'd either have to be no aliens, or no aliens that enjoy games, or something along those lines. So long as there are some aliens and some aliens that enjoy games, Go and other relatively simple abstract board games do seem like they should inevitably be reinvented many times over across the universe.

Hell, maybe there's aliens that don't enjoy games per se but that use them for other purposes, like deciding legal guilt or who gets to rule.
That's a great way to go.
We hope to make Bounce far more ubiquitous than hotel options and for roughly the same price or a bit more than your tip!
Because one of those is a result of attending. If the college required a uniform, it might be reasonable for them to provide it.
So long as admissions are not solely test based (like in many countries) then it will be gamed. The 2019 college admissions bribery scandal is the tip of the iceberg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_college_admissions_briber...

There are also other ways of getting easier admission to selective schools in the US by saying you are for example Native American.
I don't think some people even knew they had stores, so not sure if a big deal or not. I always thought Bose was the best though, but maybe I fell for the marketing. Then if you travel a bunch, some travel blogs recommend their headphones too. Only Bose thing I own is a the SoundLink Mini II which is a bluetooth speaker.

I know it seems people really like Beats too, which Apple bought out but never had any of those. I always though Beats were more just branding then anything, make a pair of headphones and slap Dr. Dre's name on them, so I figured more marketing driven then tech but maybe with Apple owning them that's opinion might be a bit dated then. Then I also seen people recommend JBL and Sony too, but I don't really have much of a opinion on either.
Not just hotels, any small shop may be able to take care of it for you, provided you have enough charisma points. I've done this many times while traveling.
Honestly, I think students should pay different amounts based on the infrastructure they need for their degree. New students pay some flat amount, and once they declare a major, they pay whatever that major costs. A lit major won't require much infrastructure, so they should pay less than an engineering student that needs access to more expensive equipment, but they'll also likely get a lower salary after college. Students should likewise be presented with estimated salaries upon graduation, as well as estimated cost of their education (including books and whatnot).

Colleges that are more prestigious in a given field should be able to command a higher tuition, which helps pay for faculty, buildings, and equipment. But the higher rate needs to be justified by the school on their estimated costs and future earnings reports. Banks could take all of this into account when deciding whether to grant a loan to a student.

And yes, the school shouldn't be forcing students to pay for athletics, theatre, etc. Athletics often pay for themselves through advertising agreements and merch, so I don't see why anything should be taken from tuition for that (and I don't think it is most of the time).

So yes, education expenses should be ala carte as much as possible, and I think this (and ending federally backed student loans) would result in drastically reduced tuition prices on average as students see what value they're really getting.
That had to be one of the most half-baked articles Ive seen out of "The Economist," and Ive read their stuff on and off for years. They identify the symptoms correctly, and then spend 1000 words misleading you on the cause, so they can sell you "The Fix."

Here's the real problems:

1. Rent-seeking behavior by the land-owning generation, seeking to retire and live off rental income and a reverse mortgage, instead of building generational wealth.

2. Rent-seeking behavior by local councils and cities, all but demanding bribes and kickbacks; they hold up permitting for building anything beyond single-family dwelling.

3. Rent-seeking behavior by the majority holders of capital - the banks. Because a majority of properties are subject to mortgage, this has allowed for massive speculation, in funny money, on limited amounts of real property. This drives up prices.

4. Rent-seeking behavior by all levels of government. Property taxes are the most efficient means of destroying wealth.

To be brief, the rents are too damn high! Theres no law you can write that will fix these issues, either. It will bloat and overheat until it collapses like a cake in the oven.
Eh. Depends on how mission critical it is. I don't mind an appliance needing the internet as long as I can still physically operate it during downtime.
> Suppose I am actively promoting eating beef in public space near a very religious vegan settlement. Is that speech protected or not?

In the US, yes, absolutely, it is.

As long as you don't become violent or enter their private property you can say anything you want. You can stand there every day of the week for an entire year with a sign that says something like "religious vegans are criminals" and you are absolutely protected by the US Constitution. The police might come and talk to you to make sure you are not a threat (do you a gun illegally?) but as long as all you are doing is exercising your recognize right to free speech you can do that all day long.

You are only going to be the subject of a restraining order if you are a threat. No judge would grant a restraining order against someone peacefully exercising their first amendment right. If they did, if for some reason the group you are protesting lied and they got a restraining order they would be exposed to pretty serious legal consequences.

I don't particularly enjoy these videos, yet they are an example of how serious these rights are in the US. Some on this thread dismiss them as "just words on a piece of paper". Well, in this case those words made five people with guns walk away from someone they were not legally allowed to harass:

Do this in most countries in the world and you'll find yourself in front of a judge with broken arms, a busted face and possibly almost dead...if you even get to the judge.
We're not talking about what I'm worried about, we're talking about what the FAA and other similar airplane licensing bodies will permit, and they are not allowing the MAX to fly for any purpose right now (save the one-time ferry flight to a parking spot until the problems are fixed). These licensing bodies only do airplanes, not cars, and so the safety of cars isn't relevant to them.

But yes, on a personal level, I too find it shocking how >37k people are killed in motor vehicle crashes every year, with countless more injured, and yet we're doing so little about it. There's clearly a lot of low-hanging fruit there.
You might pay that amount per 100 GB but you pay more than that in total, i.e. you have more than 100 GB on Google drive, right?
> Well, the author is saying that she is considering giving up her career in reearch which she very much wants to pursue to have children because she can't find a way to reconcile the two.

I disagree. Unfortunately you have to make decisions in life on what you want to prioritise. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Also I don't consider having to make a choice harmful. Being harmed mean things like being assaulted, having your house robbed, being abused by your spouse. What it does not mean is coming to realisation that you may have to make a choice between family and career.

You know what does allow you to have both, wealth.
We've built a far better product (judge for yourself - usebounce.com), and have a much higher quality bar for locations. This work comes through in numbers: Bounce has maintained a 4.9/5 star rating across all our customers. The company you mention has a 1.9.

This other company has far more reach however...they definitely beat us there. We hope to close that gap in the next year.

Lots of work to do!
What's your definition of "densest" here? What's the actual metric?

Also, what's the definition of "LA metro area"? Los Angeles County? Ignoring, say, Orange County, and the parts of San Bernardino County and Riverside County that are relevant to solving the actual commuter problems of the LA basin?
In new VC-backed industries, just because you have competitors doesn't mean you have a market.
LA is not the densest metro area in the US. It is New York City by far.

But this comment got me curious, maybe I'm missing something. This article shows that LA is pretty close to NYC in terms of average density. But NYC is still more dense.

It could be like the school my wife graduated from. You had to pay for a parking pass, but the pass didn't guarantee a spot. You were basically paying for the privilege of showing up an hour early to try and get a parking spot. It was a couple hundred dollars a year as well.
> Broadcast television and radio.

At least not in Germany. Every household has to pay a monthly fee even if they dont want to. No opt outs possible.

And for music licenses there is GEMA which is also financed by additional charges on empty media like SDcards or Hard disks. Also no opt out possible. Google/youtube was fighting it and they finally lost the battle.

So in principle the IP Providers could be forced to pay a monthly fee for internet searches and social media. For mobile networks this is already discussed.

It seems that the EU doesnt like the free services from the SV giants and will fight them in the time to come. The GDPR was only the beginning. The next one will be more about the money.
Proves that honesty is really about being well trained. Which in America at least is the backbone of many, many unsolved problems . A entire culture based upon education and training only going to who is approved by the State and Capital, instead of training young people because they are young, and people.
I think also it is against the Data Protection Act 2018 (? - IANAL):

49 Right not to be subject to automated decision-making

..(1) A controller may not take a significant decision based solely on automated processing unless that decision is required or authorised by law.

..(2) A decision is a “significant decision” for the purpose of this section if, in relation to a data subject, it—

....(a)produces an adverse legal effect concerning the data subject, or

....(b)significantly affects the data subject.

I'd say that being rejected automatically for a job before being seen by a human would be a significant decision.

IMO, it's because most manufacturers' main goal with "smart" devices isn't making better products; it's designing products that are less expensive to manufacture, but bring in at least as much revenue.

A device that's controlled using the owner's phone (or a web application, etc.) is cheaper to produce in bulk than one that has a built-in interface to interact with.

A security camera system that stores all its data in cloud-hosted storage is also cheaper to produce in bulk, because it doesn't need to include storage hardware of its own. That has the added benefit (to the manufacturer) of tying the customer into ongoing service fees.

In other words, while I agree with you that they're bad design decisions from the consumer perspective, they're good design decisions (at least in the short term, which is all most corporations care about now) from the manufacturer's perspective.
"When a leader moves an inch, the company moves a mile.". Most of the "leaders" I've known can keep moving inches until they are at the bart station.
They do. Google's been asking me to interview with them multiple times a year for almost a decade.
So we transform the parking lots around work into apartments? So where do we work again? Because nobody will want to live adjacent to a polluting facility like Grumman. And what about those who are further afield from the station?

The real problem I see in LA is the last 5 miles problem. When it takes nearly as long to get to the metro station in an Uber, then wait for the train, as it does to drive downtown, and the parking cost is similar to the to/from the metro, I’ll be driving. And don’t even get me started on paying $1.75 for the metro, then $3.50 to ride a metro bike one way.

The apartment near the metro line is really a lifestyle choice. It’s not an overall solution for all society in LA or even The Bay Area as we will never match the rail density of a city like New York. Earthquakes limit how high we can build.

>The year I arrived, Hopkins had more legacy students in its freshman class (12.5 percent) than students who were eligible for Pell Grants (9 percent). Now those numbers are reversed—3.5 percent of students in this year’s freshman class have a legacy connection to the university, and 19.1 percent are Pell-eligible

This change happened in five years. Such a policy change would be extremely popular. For proponents of race-based affirmative action, this would serve as somewhat of a proxy due to the correlation between race and class. For opponents, removing legacy preferences makes admissions more meritocratic.

The only groups with something to lose are (i) mediocre children of alumni, and (ii) the university's endowments if alumni decrease their donations. I don't believe (i) is a strong factor in a university's calculations, which leaves (ii). I believe universities are happy to see the public fighting about race-based affirmative action: indeed, dividing and pitting the low- and middle-income groups against each other over their limited subset of the pie, means they will not be working together to increase their overall share of the pie.

(I think this issue could and should be considered orthogonal to race-based affirmative action. Race-based AA was never put on a stable enough legal footing and will continue to bounce back and forth in the courts until it's resolved, while this could be resolved quickly and uncontroversially.)
I worry a bit about the audio space. I think there's a lot of good competition out there but see it as becoming increasingly siloed due to network effects of connectivity standards. Maybe this has changed but it kept me from purchasing some Sonos equipment a few years ago and Apple seems hellbent on pulling everyone into it's system to lock them in (I say this as someone who owns Apple products).

I think the backlash against Bose is a bit undeserved. There's plenty of good products by other companies now, but Bose still makes some really great sounding equipment. A lot of the criticism of their products I think is a kind of contrarism due to the hype that existed at one time. I have one pair of speakers of theirs that every so often I become convinced I could find something better by now, but when I actually listen to the alternatives, they sound nowhere near as good (including Sonos and other, audiophile type brands).

It seems there's always these cycles of one or more brands being the hipster equipment to buy, some audiophile non-conformist backlash, and then the reintroduction of a new cycle.

That being said, it's hard for me to imagine any brand having standalone audio only stores, except maybe a couple of locations or something. People either buy blind online (which leads to really distorted statements about relative quality on the internet imho) or go somewhere to compare multiple brands' products in person.
The Uber bit makes little sense to me. If Uber takes my car at night, then I doubt I'll make much money, since not many people are out at night. And if it takes my car in the day, then I don't have immediate access to the car when I need it, which is the entire reason I use my car as opposed to a bus or a train.
