That is explained by this sentence.

A car which is on a collision course at Ipley Cross with a cyclist who is obscured from the driver’s view by the front pillar will approach the cyclist from behind.

So if the cyclist doesn't do a shoulder check, the cyclist won't see it. If they do do a shoulder check, the car will appear to be stationary to them. (It is surprisingly harder to see an object with no apparent motion.)
Unless it’s a flat tax on capital assets.

I think it would be interesting to try out a model where _only_ capital assets are taxed. No sales tax, no income tax, no capital gains tax.

It should dampen the effect of the rich getting richer only from rent collecting, while still making sure the market allocates capital to where it provides the most economic value (I.e can be turned into enough revenue to pay the tax in question)

> Every time I pick up my phone to check a piece of information or complete a simple task, I am presented with some other distraction that threatens to sidetrack me.

Feels like a very good use of ML on the part of the mobile OS makers would be to decide, based on place and time and activity history, which of your active widgets should appear above the fold on the lockscreen of your phone.

(E.g., when near a bus stop, next-bus times should appear. First thing in the morning after the phone has been inactive all night, the "summary of the calendar events for today" widget should appear. Weather should appear ~5 minutes before you usually leave the house, if-and-only-if there's something useful to know, e.g. rain predicted for today. Etc.)

I know iOS has "Siri Suggestions", which is similar, but these are activity-history-corrleated tap-to-open links for apps, not specific actionable at-a-glance information.

I think Google Glass tried to do this?
The thing that jumps out to me: there are WAY more page-loading indicators now than there has ever been before. Lots more jumping content, lots more laggy content population, many more elements sliding around...I know "worse is better" is a truism of sorts in technology, but this is ridiculous.

What good do any of these architecture decisions make when the experience for the user, the customer, is measurably worse? I mean, aside from not being able to interact with elements of a page before a chain of JavaScript finally gives the all-clear, sites clearly look worse with grayed placeholders and whatnot. There should be a Conway's Corrollary for revenue-oriented choices.
The lockdowns appear to have also stopped transmission of most other infectious diseases. Notably, influenza.

Influenza has a lower R0 than SARS2, and it absolutely kills people. Worth destroying our economy over, all by itself? Ehhhh... I mean, we could have done this at any time, and we didn't, so no.

Nice side effect that translates directly to lives saved? Absolutely.

Does it offset other probable side effects, such as increased heart attack mortality from patients being unwilling to go to the hospital, or increased suicide risk from sudden business failures and unemployment?

No idea, like, none. Biostatisticians are going to be crunching 2020 for the rest of the decade.

The US Govt isn't going to let anything happen to Boeing, but protecting their shareholders isn't a national security issue. They will still probably protect them since it is a government imposed travel shutdown.
Also (adding more detail): The reason why you can't install lights is because there aren't any wires for the electrical grid, so that would cost a lot of money to add, and the locals would likely object to the extra source of light pollution.
Yeah, but assuming no right-of-way will lead to not having a life of any sort. I can't even imagine living life this way.

Can you imagine that? A Tesla is stopped at a red light just before a pedestrian crossing. The Tesla can go from 0-30 mph before I can cross its width at walking pace. The walk light is on. I have the right-of-way. But considering the Tesla could go from 0-30 mph in the time I could pass it, your suggested course of action is to just wait until a slower-to-accelerate car stops at the intersection?

I posted a New York Times opinion-piece a little while back on a woman who created an online support group for people recovering. I found the article because I was looking for some info myself on how long to expect things to last. I was feeling pretty down because it just seemed to linger and linger. Made me feel better to know this was common. The official CDC guidance broke people into groups of “mild” and “severe”, with corresponding time to recover. But the anecdata suggests even “mild” (I.e., didn’t go on a vent) can have lingering symptoms for sometimes as long as 30 days. Hang in there!

You're forgetting about Battery Day next month! You will find out that Tesla hits $100/kWh, which means they'll be able to sell an electric car for the price of a gas one, without giving up range. You're also forgetting that what they're selling has no real competition, just like the iPhone didn't skip a beat through the 2008-2009 crisis. Also their full self-driving tech is ahead of everyone, including Alphabet.

I would challenge the notion that the information is really needed.
"This deletion likely hindered its ability to bind effectively, making it harder to produce severe infections. Such evolution by deletion is actually a common feature of these viruses."

Is this really the case?, how would that be a common feature?, how are the strains where this deletion takes place more successful than those where it doesn't happen?, is it because it favors faster spread and somehow the organisms infected by these strains with deletion become inmune also to strains without deletion?, or there are other mechanisms that come into play?
that's right. when establishing connection each side enumerates a bunch of "ice candidates". which is everything from your local LAN to outside NAT ip discovered via TURN servers (some restrictions due to privacy reasons).

once the ice candidates are exchanged each side starts spraying the other with STUN messages to addresses ranked by "candidate pairs" that potentially could make a connection until one is found.

this is simplified. there are mechanics like "trickle ice" and fallbacks to proxying via TURN servers.

then there's the alleged idea this is all part of a webrtc "standard", which is laughable cause no browser follows the wild collection of RFCs that supposedly makes up the standard and the only reason any of it works is because there's a non written down general consensus of what's required.

It goes beyond this. Grokking complex ideas through media goes well beyond text. Often times visual media can bridge cultural gaps and be a primer for learning a new language. Don't discount the platform with generalizations (which I understand you're not trying to do) about its content. I regularly subscribe to channels that communicate complex subtext under a veneer of sensationalism. Even your quoted language can have an ironic meta game that supports both mine and your arguments.
These numbers are not prepared under GAAP for the automotive industry, since there is no such thing as GAAP per-automotive profit margins for global auto manufacturers. Vehicle pricing is too dependent on both the class of the vehicle and the geographic market for a single global number to be meaningful. (For example, Toyota profitably sells vehicles that range from $1000 to commercial vehicles that sell for $250,000 or more.)

Tesla provides these numbers because its financials on a GAAP basis show it is under-performing most of its competitors. Despite selling more cars than all of its luxury competitors, Tesla lost money doing so. Its competitors may not sell as many vehicles, but they made profits on a GAAP basis...(and using Tesla's rubrics, would have even higher per-vehicle profits than Tesla since those profits account for capex and other items that Tesla excludes).

It's not just the written word. The same applies to the spoken word as well.

When people in the military ask me how to improve their spoken word I tell them to focus only on rhythm and otherwise regard their content as sewage. Once the word is flushed from your mouth you cannot have it back. If the sewage (speech) stops flowing unintentionally the system backs up and cognitive problems take over, so keep pushing words out at a regular pace. That regular pace will eliminate the need for gap words like: uh, um, and ah. The content of the sewage is generally less important than the audience's reaction, so always be ready to pivot without causing a sewage backup.
But you pay for those in the form of rent. As a homeowner you can also pay someone to do those things. There are a ton of property management companies that will handle a single house if you want to completely hand it off to someone.

In general when renting you usually rent a LOT less than you end up buying which I think is where many people get the "renting is cheaper than buying" thought.

It's not like your landlord magically eats all these extra costs. They pass them on to you.

Yeah, those in particular fall flat. If you want to praise, you should do so, and it should be clear in your statement. If it needs the descriptor, the descriptor won't help. I'd suggest s/praise/note. And s/chore/request. Just because it sounds more polite.
All that routing data (and much more) is also funnelled to Google via Maps/Waze and, to a lesser extent, Apple or other companies with map apps. So I don't think Lyft or Uber have a competitive advantage here, even if the routing data is useful absent full instrumentation. Plus, full self driving seems a bit like a nuclear bomb, by which I mean second place in that race might be worth nothing.

Another solution is to block off the eastern exit, turning it into a T junction. It's low traffic, there are multiple alternative routes and the road to the east is short and insignificant. This technique is used a lot in towns nowadays to shut off dangerous junctions onto arterial routes (and to prevent 'rat runs').

The alternative route round works out at 5 minutes longer but in a national park that's pretty good, and the lives saved should be worth it. Map view here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Ipley+Manor+Stables/@50....
Also, if there should be any trouble at all getting a dirt cheap bailout loan from the government, a solid history of holding the party line will be a guarantee for success. I don't know if Musk deliberately plays this strategy, but it would certainly be on my mind if I were in his shoes. I'm not at all shameless enough to do that kind of thing, thankfully.

If Tesla's able to survive through the current macroeconomic slowdown, this situation plays strongly to their advantage. They'll keep being capital constrained for another decade or so. Their ambition is to build 20 million cars per year. Need ten more factories to do that.

Zero interest bailout loans would be a godsend, as long as they can stay profitable and still have a healthy customer base. They're a growth company still. Nowhere near the ceiling of their potential market.

Although it's still a super uncertain and scary situation, it's much better place to be than being an established, no-growth automaker with thin margins falling to zero on a 10% sales decline.

Creator here. Joke is indeed A+ funny.
You can tell another app to open a document without having permissions to send arbitrary Apple Events (which effectively let you act as a user interacting with the app).

Even if TextEdit files were quarantined so you could not execute them, you would still be able to do harm, such as snooping on the user's recent documents, or trashing the disk by overwriting files that TextEdit has access to. Likely it could even install a LaunchAgent to run arbitrary code outside of the sandbox as well.

There's already a security dialog here that warns the user. Maybe the user's imagination doesn't run wild with all the ways that the access could be abused, but they _were_ warned.
I have my eye on that one. One of the creators just did an AMA on Discord an hour ago: https://discordapp.com/channels/571093131651448852/703384583...

> Get a test before you start, so you have a base value. Test again after a month or two maybe three, and see what the change is.

This is sound advice, but isn't there a chicken and egg problem right now? We're in a significant part of the pandemic, which I would imagine (assumption) that "routine" tests such as that may not be easy to come by. While at the same time there is notable evidence that VDI is prevalent in severe cases. By the time you get an answer to know the base line, it seems like it would be largely too late to make a possible difference in the short term?

Is there a "safe" amount you could increase it without knowing your base line?

These are two forms of virus. My guess would be that they were isolated and named separately, and retained their original names even after it was discovered they were the "same" virus.

The mechanism sounds similar to what happens with HIV. Simplifying wildly, there are M-tropic strains that infect macrophages, and T-tropic strains that infect T lymphocytes. People tend to get infected with M-tropic strains, because it's macrophages that come into contact with invading viruses. However, over time, the virus can mutate to become T-tropic. It's the T-tropic strains that cause immunodeficiency, and hence AIDS.
The decision is not in reality between "destroying the economy" and "opening the economy up", because even in places that aren't doing strict lockdown, economies are cratering. Even if you opened everything up, people would still make their own decisions to participate or not in the economy, and right now, it looks like they're going to make the economically painful choice.

So then: if you're going to take on a massive economic hit just from altered consumer behavior, does it make sense to get the worst of both possible worlds by also relaxing regulatory constraints that are demonstrably saving lives?

Fast compile time on large projects is really hard for C and C-compatible languages due to the preprocessor and #include. Not an issue if you're comparing compilation for a single file, but it turns into a substantial fraction if your compile time when that file transitively #includes 10s or 100s of headers.
These are non-GAAP numbers. The real numbers are closer to 17%, which is still pretty good.
