I’m not sure I agree with you about where to place blame. Sure, every driver has a duty to pay attention, and drive with caution - however, the sheer number of people injured by cars suggests there is a systemic problem. Blaming the driver in many incidents is like saying a lottery winner was skilled. The system is broken and has these injuries and deaths baked into it. Dealing with bad driving can only improve things to the limits of the systemic problems.
For every well intended law there has to be someone who can conjure a ridiculous scenario out of thin air to prove that the whole concept is meaningless. But guess what: this is traffic, not programming. And intent matters.
> Smalltalk, Ruby, and other languages in a similar vein beg to differ. And I don't think you could call e.g. Smalltalk "unstructured", either.

Smalltalk, Ruby, and any language with callcc is nearly as unstructured as it would be with goto (though most of them idiomatically minimize usage, which mitigates this in practice), which is also a part (implementation/optimization prospects are another) that Ruby banished continuations from the core language to an MRI-bundled library starting way back with 1.9, replacing the main uses with the more structured Fibers.

To realize how skewed this really is you just have to imagine a world where "a bicycle hit a pedestrian". You will never read that, it will always be "cyclist" with the implication of "your fault for even using a bike"
The next logical step is to check for Turing completeness.
Yes! This one is also great: "How We Talk About Drivers Hitting Cyclists" https://www.outsideonline.com/2392955/lets-talk-about-driver...

Media always portray it as a passive car just happened to hit a cyclist. But that shapes the discussion. It was an action by a driver. Not “he was struck from behind by an automobile while riding his bicycle a mere block from his home.”, as the article says. The cyclist wasn't struck. It wasn't by an automobile. It was a driver (actively) hitting him.

When it's framed like that instead, one can actually start improving and understand why it happened and try to avoid it in the future. Instead of portraying it like a freak accident like a meteor just happened to strike and there is really nothing to be done.

I think perhaps you have misattributed the responsibility here. The thing that "makes" someone take out a loan is the loan customer.
If you accept the false positives that impact lots of us, then sure, it's not too hard. This is one of those cases where 99% is easy but society needs 100% and that's not as easy.
In all fairness that sounds a lot like "laws do not exist for cyclists". Having to prove your innocence is incompatible with the idea of rule of law.

As a car driver, I would start setting up dash cams (which are illegal in Europe thanks to GDPR) to help me proving my innocence.
Sorry about that, it has been a crazy year, and things have fallen through the cracks occasionally. The holograms with our film do not form surface relief patterns, and would not work for the "press the hologram into chocolate" idea.

However, existing embossed holograms do have the surface relief and can be used for this.
Regardless of spins of pundits, most scientific analysis agree: its due to career demands outweighing everything in ones twenties and traditional support nets not sufficiently being compensated for with alternative support. Altought a career is a way to self deploy and actualise, and as such is great that we increasingly can, its worth balancing it out against other worthwhile ways to do it. It also has led to an economy in which its increasingly unaffordable to not have two full time workers per family. It is argued this balance is lost, and therefore birthrates suffer.

I'd love it if me and my wife could work each 50 or 60%, we in practice we can't. Employers find it unusual, it is going to cost you because governments model their financial structures on the assumption of full time work.
> GitHub states that this bug could not be intentionally triggered by a malicious party (why?),

Because this bug requires two users making authenticated requests at nearly the same time. An attacker cant force their target to perform actions, especially not in the same small time frame that is likely required (milliseconds? less?). I suppose if the malicious party didnt care what account they got swapped into, and github didnt rate limit their requests, perhaps they could trigger this bug with enough time?
The vast majority of cyclists are also drivers, while the majority of drivers are not cyclists, so I think it’s quite reasonable to expect the cyclist to have the more rounded perspective on road safety.

The only cyclists I see behaving recklessly on the road are groups of teenage boys, and that’s more to do with them being teenage boys than being cyclists.

> I'd argue that any other stance would acknowledge and justify their position as a utility provider and the Play Store as a public space.

That's a false dichotomy. The options are not:

1. Any company, anywhere and at any time can refuse to do business with anyone, anywhere and for any reason.

2. All companies, everywhere and all the time must allow voices from everyone, everywhere and all the time.

There's a good middle ground - antitrust regulations could be modified so that, if the company has a large enough piece of the market they shouldn't have the /choice/ of denying access for any reason.
Well, looks like the law will work there. He'll have lots of explaining to do and the explaining will be easy. Hardly sounds like a counter-example.

The simplest way to think of Graalvm is that it’s not a VM, it’s just a plungin replacement for Hotspot.
Hotspot is written in C++ and hard to change. So once the java JIT is written in java it will be easier to innovate.

But then they took the base and used the java to machine code capabilities to be able to do ahead of time compilation to machine code.

But the most amazing part is that if you use the graal apis to define an interpreter for a language (any language) then graal can generate a compiler from that interpreter. It will compile all that is known at compile time and leave to runtime what needs to happen at runtime. So essentially it does partial compilation.
> “...I would love it if reckless drivers would lose their license at the first offense.”

that’s too punitive, but i’d be quite happy with a quickly escalating, income-/wealth-adjusted fine. so like 0.01% of yearly income on first offense, 0.1% on second offense, 1% on third offense, or something like that, on a rolling 12-month basis, where you can voluntarily give up you license for 3 months to reset the scale of you can’t/don’t want to pay. driving without a license could reinstate the scale and invoke the next level of fine on top.
It's not ridiculous. I've seen them do it with my own eyes (I was driving a bit back from the truck, I gave the pair a lot of extra space). I've heard other cyclists talking about how they regularly draft.
Because to spend money on bicycle infrastructure will have to mean breaking the dominance of the car. And although rationally this would be the best thing one could do these days (at least in cities), people absolutely hate to share the road with cyclists.

For this to become more acceptable you have to have more motorists that ride the bicycle. And for that to happen you have to have better bicycle infrastructure.

Mixing modalities like that is forbidden and not necessary in almost all of the Netherlands. Locations can always be reached by bike path, and only slow speed often urban roads allow mixing. The trucker could point out the bike was on a road it wasn't allowed.

It is only abroad that I started to see such dangerous cycling, and then discovered this idiotic war between the modalities.
What keeps users from rooting the phone and deleting the "undeletable" app? It's installed at point of sale which means a factory reset should get rid of it.

100 times yes. Defensive cycling. Not a perfect prevention strategy but the best we can do
"What it does is make them go for a phone they can't afford. You can buy a cheaper phone, a used one, save money, etc.
"

They Dont want a cheaper or used money or even save money.
They want the "full social status" of a new brand phone.

In my country and others having a brand new phone has higher social status than having money in the bank or a car sometimes.
Well that cat is firmly out of the bag by now. You can find a less stressful work environment though, you just need to get rid of the attitude that a strong work ethic is good for you. It’s good for your employer.
They may not actually intend to cause a crash but they certainly don’t care if one happens as consequence if their actions.
Other phrases (at least in german media):
"cyclist injures _himself_ badly"

"The cyclist wore no helmet" (as if that changes fault in an accident)

The car "couldn't stop in time" (e.g. for a red light before hitting a cyclist/pedestrian in the intersection)

When the cyclist is struck at night the car driver sometimes is quoted with the claim the bike had no lights. While sometimes that may be right, the car driver obviously didn't see the cyclist (otherwise they wouldn't have run them over) and the light is often damaged in the accident. The cyclist on a stretcher is not available to counter that claim leaving a biased report.
> I had to execute an extreme manouver to avoid hitting a kamikaze that cut through three lanes almost perpendicularly in very heavy traffic downtown Madrid.

How curious. You take issue with the exact interpretation of 'never' and yet use a figurative interpretation of 'kamikaze'.

Allow me to simulate a response to your comment in the style of GP:

> Kamikaze? You saw a Japanese attack aircraft cut through three lanes perpendicularly in very heavy traffic in downtown Madrid fifteen years ago? That sounds very unlikely.
Of course most people are not making 'children decisions' around national or ideological objectives.

And yes, it's possible to be 'overly concerned'.

But there is something to be said about a species that doesn't replace itself, that's an existential question.

More importantly: the rate of decline is enormous in the grand scheme.

If you plot a curve of human population it trends up correlating with industrial power, education, advancement etc. - but then it hits a sudden wall and falls straight down.

If you extend the 'downward trend' of population decline outwards several decades it looks problematic.

It looks like an extinction event.

For context, if you care one bit about the 'greater good' and humanity, life etc. beyond your own life, then you'll likely have some degree of concern about 'extinction' or evaporation of people, culture, knowledge wisdom.

People that do have a sense of 'greater good' would naturally have some anxiety over this.
The exact opposite argument can also be made here: they weren't remotely funding some specific measure that they think could solve the problem, which admittedly could be distorted by distance. They are funding an organization whose goal is solving that problem and has experts who are close to the issue. It's basically outsourcing.
Describing things as 'terrible' is such an easy way to justify not making cost-benefit analyses...
and we have all heard the rhetoric surrounding "cyclists".

Are you saying that not even a smidgen of truth belies such rhetoric? Cyclists roll through signals, intersections & stop signs as if they were mere suggestions and nothing more.

I know how entrenched each sides are in this argument - drivers and cyclists. Neither will give an inch.

The best way to get cyclists some kind of safety is to INSIST on a full bore licensing, registering, insuring framework for cyclists just as the ones that exist for motor vehicles. Yes some form of license plates, registration, driving licenses, point deductions for bad riding etc.

And taxes and fees just like for motor vehicles, whether ICE vehicles or electric vehicles.

You cant just hop on a bicycle use infrastructure others are paying for and expect to be treated like equals without paying into the system your fair share.

Governments, underwriters, law enforcement & other stake holders just dont have any incentives to respond to your concerns, any other way. This is how the world works. It is in the interest of bicyclists to make it work for them through those ways.
If you build roads only for cars, drivers will be pissed off when cyclists intrude on “their” space. Just like a cyclist would be pissed off if there were people walking in the bike lane. The structure of the world influences how you feel about people in it. Also definitely a bunch of assholes, but assholes tend to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the world
Bikes are similar to pedestrians not cars. In bike friendly places such as the Netherlands or Cambridge UK cyclists and those on foot share the same part of the city. It helps in these places that almost car drivers also use a bike to get around so they are more aware, but the main thing is designing the cities so that high speed 2-40 ton vehicles are totally separated from low speed 50-100kg cyclists and pedestrians.
I think the article clearly states the reason for this.

There is a lack of formal credit scores or collateral making it difficult to assess loan-worthiness.
Combine that with the fact that a disabled phone is no good for the owner or the lender, there is a substantial risk involved.
And interest rates are nothing but a measure of risk premium.

"just barely avoid crushing or rolling over some crazy cyclist that falls on his damn bike right under my car"

You are supposed to respect a safe separation distance so that you don't "barely avoid crushing them" if something happen, not tailgate them. Since it happens every 3 months, consider if your driving might be at fault. If not for the cyclist, at least for the sake of not scratching your car, eh.
Thanks for answering.

The idea of "default" liability is unjust. Who is at fault needs to be proven, at least with a preponderance of evidence. If that cannot be done, then liability should be shared.
This is my biggest pet peeve about delivery service websites. What are the chances that I've moved house since I last ordered a pizza two days ago? Why do you incessantly ask for my postcode?

Rubbish. Bitcoin had a unique selling point when it was digital cash. We don't need digital gold. Real gold is fine and better. Bitcoin is purely about speculation now.
It also depends where you're living - ferroconcrete apartment building is something else than drywall house.

Also 3x3 only gives you close to gigabit speed (realistically 700 mbps) when both ends are 3x3, and only very expensive and special workstation class laptops (including 15" MacBook Pros which belong in that category at least by pricing) are that.

2x2 laptop won't have better than 866 PHY speed in ac and that's realistically about 500 mbps single duplex.

Smart 4x4 device can use the extra streams for range - but that only ever works with original firmware, there's a lot of magic and patents involved.

Not sure why you're downvoted, I do similar exactly because otherwise cars pass me by a mere few centimetres. If I'm in the middle of the lane, they can't unless they're really set on pushing me off, and then at least I have a buffer of space to my right that I can verve into.

If you stick to the side of the road, you make it the default decision for people (many of which I'm sure might not if they knew better) to pass too close to you, plus you've got no buffer or escape route.

The thing is most people don't understand that putting yourself in the middle of the lane, as a bike, is the safest thing to do for everyone. Motorcycles are taught to do exactly that: position themselves so that they positively take their lane.

No, not actively. But they took the decision to pilot tons of metal through a populated area. If you could have avoided that at all, e.g. by taking public transport or cycling yourself, and hit someone, you fully deserve the blame.
Both parties in the accident would need to prove their innocence. All else being equal, the party that introduced more kinetic energy onto public roads will be taken to be the most likely source of excess kinetic energy causing the accident.
Wha? I literally did the analysis in my first comment... that's where I tried to strike a balance between both parties' interests. You're the one who dismissed the whole thing with "it's India, they were going to die anyway".

Yes, he came up near our seat at one point. Was a great show also, but I missed the MJ-related numbers. Only later I figured out why.
I don't think the hyperbole helps anyone ... You do not put your hand out because you want to ask for mercy of the executioner in the metal coffin, you put your hand out to indicate your intention.

It's the same reason why cars have blinkers. If a car does not use the blinker, a resulting accident is a preventable mistake by the car driver. In the same vein, a cyclist not indicating a change of lane and/or direction has endangered themselves, and others.

A car driver who has no idea about the intention of a cyclist will assume that the cyclist will continue to use the same lane / the same direction as before - and act accordingly.

No car driver wants to be involved in an accident - at best, it's costly and causes legal hassle. At worst, you have been part of a death.
Agreed, and I believe people of the future will be astounded that we used to accept that public streets were killing fields for small kids, animals and the inattentive. (Not to mention having a significant portion of the area taken up by idle vehicles, but I digress.)

I believe the solution will be autonomous cars, which are not only (overly) cautious, but can pick you up or drop you off, and then scuttle off to underground parking or to pick up the next person.

You can tell if the light was on when it was damaged, by examining the filament. They do this in airplane accident investigations to see which panel lamps were on when it crashed.

This doesn't work for LED lights, though. Just incandescent.

How is it too punitive? They're operating a massive structure of (usually literally) flaming steel. If they can't consider the safety of people who very plausibly will be their victims without constant vigilance, they really shouldn't be driving.

Doubly so for pickups, which are now so large that they offer a near-nonexistent risk on the driver's end for poor driving and nearly-certain serious-injury-and-or-death for anyone caught up against it.
