Doesn't and can't actually replace a car over a certain size of the city.

It is said that in the Netherlands 27% of all trips are done by bicycle - IIRC it's the highest percentage in Europe.

What is not mentioned though is that 50% are done by car.

If you look at the distance traveled it's 75% car, 8% bicycle.

The cities in that country that have a higher trip percentage are tiny, 100k towns.

Bicycles replace walking, not driving.
The situation was quite bizarre in Berlin last month as well. There was a march in Neukolln (hip/leftist neighbourhood with strong middle eastern immigrant population). Muslims and leftists openly screaming extremist anti-jewish slogans, claiming to fight the racial oppression.

While AFD (the right wing anti-immigration party labeled as fascist) opportunistically warned of raising antisemitism.

First, I'd suggest that we separate anti-zionism and anti-Israel sentiment from antisemitism, because many Jews even within Israel are anti-zionist and even anti-Israel. Then, we can acknowledge that holding strong convictions against the current Israeli government, the occupation of the West-Bank and the treatment of Gaza is essentialy mainstream among Jews worldwide.

I would agree that the left has an obsession with this particular issue that is disproportionate, but if hatred of Jews is the motivation, where is the smoking gun?

> Ironically enough, "someone who likes math but hates arithmetic" isn't a self-contradictory thing.

I didn't even realise anyone would expect there to be a relationship between "liking" arithmetic and actual mathematics. I worked with mathematicians and was called one myself (it was a stretch, I think) but I have no idea who in the lab was or was not proficient in doing numeric calculations by hand. It was just not relevant. There was one guy though who liked to show off doing things like multiplying long numbers in his head, which was amusing.

It would suck to lack the ability to manipulate algebraic expressions efficiently, but you could go quite far without it in many branches. My most interesting results were identifying certain topological features of certain discrete structures of relevance to biology. There was no arithmetic or algebra involved at all except to write down the results formally.
FWIW, Ruby the language doesn't have Bignum any more, though, just Integer which handles arbitrarily large numbers. Under the hood, there are some optimizations for small integers.

Just a quick plug as I'm starting the interview playback (the link here is an audio podcast): the New Books Network is an IMO hugely underappreciated podcast gem. It's a sprawling set of podcasts across many academic disciplines. If you're interested in meaty but not necessarily top of the moment explorations (many podcasts tend to be highly topical and follow current events, which if that's what you're attempting to escape becomes 1) counterproductive and 2) tends to age poorly).

But as an informative distraction, NBN is excellent.

(Individual podcasts and episodes may have variable, and occasionally poor, audio quality. But there's an immense back-catalogue to choose from. Happy hunting!)

What is not speculation is that they restricted the buying of stocks while not restricting the selling. The rest, though it may be speculation, has enough circumstantial evidence to allow most regular folks to make up their mind.

The people who will invest in the IPO aren't going to be the people who lost money due to RH locking the purchasing of stocks and stopping the price from sky rocketing.

But in terms of a customer base, in terms of a company, RH are dust.

No, this is my exact sentiment in Lisbon, Portugal - Europe. A city going on 1000 years. Our parking requirements for new construction and our addiction to free curb parking everywhere have destroyed mobility. There are unnecessary jams at all times of the day thanks to idiotic parking.

I drive daily and have nothing against cars. I hope that small semi-self-driving electric cars will eventually replace our dying public transit. There are many great things about the car. But I hate parking with a passion. In Lisbon we could easily double or triple the speed and amount of traffic flow without any investment by getting rid of a few thousand spots of street parking. Road space should be for people to go about their business, not for storing inert objects.

My hope against hope is that will one day we abolish street parking and invest in world-class automated below-ground parking. Let 1000 underground auto lifts bloom. Done properly it might even jump-start a new globally competitive manufacturing industry, something we haven't had since the 80s.

If you are thinking the progressives in the UK are making reasonable and legitimate criticism of the state of Israel and nothing more, then you're dangerously ignorant of what's going on at polite dinner-parties in middle-class London.

The reality is that the former leader of the left-wing party in the UK is liking on Facebook murals like this:

Interested in your experience. I am finding it hard to keep up, for example in a meeting with deep technical conversations. And in addition if I do a solid days work (7 or 8 hours) I’m super fatigued after and a pressured week means forget doing anything at the weekend.

Pretty much thinking of a 3 or 12 month sabbatical. Seeing doctors and all that jazz. Won’t go into that now but getting the typical tests and treatments.

What are coders in particular doing who have this. Did you take a break or push on through? Was your company
Understanding did they make arrangements like part time? Or work that is maybe more isolated from pressure?
Free parking is also quite expensive, although it's hard to see.

It increases the costs of private properties when it's part of the property, and public parking increases government expenditures. It also consumes lots of otherwise very valuable space.

That's without factoring in the increased costs on social structures from the extra drivers on the road when there is more parking space.

If you are going to work as a freelancer and bill commute as working time (as you should, to disincentivize useless meetings), you might even make money while being driven.
The answer also involves congestion pricing for parking spots, so you don't have to spin around so much in your car looking for a free spot. Of course, the higher prices involved would themselves create a higher incentive for these alternate solutions.
OK, what is "white"? Define it. I don't know about USA, but from european perspective, Armenians are as white as any other European nation. What is USA term for that? Caucasian? Ironically, Armenians are as close to THE Caucasus region as anyone can be :) Additionally, the few Armenians, that I know in person, would consider and insult to be called Persian (for political reasons I think).

Yes, they were ethnically diverse. That does not mean that Roman senators were any other than a bunch of white male people, and that the majority of its citizens weren't what anyone from Europe today would consider "white" or "caucasian". Of course, lots of people with even totally dark skin lived in Rome and other regions, but not to the extent of "Roman senators have to be depicted as black".
>I believe the WFH shift is inevitable for the information industry and whoever tries to resist it will be in the wrong side of history.

I believe the WFH shift is currently in fashion, in the same way that cubicles used to be, then open-offices. 10+ years ago, it was a big thing for a startup, for example, to get some office space at a accelerator just to have a physical location - even though you could do all your work remotely.

At some point, I suspect, work-from-office will come back around.

Big picture: Some people like remote work, some people don't. Some companies will embrace remote work, some won't. This is the same with how some people prefer cubicles (like me!) and others see them as soul-less cages.
More parking can definitely be part of the solution. Above or underground automated parking cylinders can fit many cars, especially in the periphery of the city center where people can then use a short taxi ride/walk to their final destination.

68% of work and school related trips are by bicycle in Amsterdam. so obviously they replace quite a bit more than walking.
The worst case is you get accused of cheating, and you have to appeal to someone who's never taken a test with online proctoring in their life, or the person who selected the proctoring software who presumably thinks it works OK.
I end up lying awake until 4 am and then have some very very light sleep for about and hour or two. My Garmin shows me that I get no deep sleep at all.
I use bike to go everywhere. It is a prefect solution:

1. Cheap

2. Takes very little space

3. Good for health

4. In a dense city almost as fast as a car; sometimes faster

For people who doubt biking is possible. In Finland there is a city near arctic circle called Oulu with population of around 100 000 people. They have 2h of day light in winter. Temperatures often go to -10 degrees centigrade. And 22% of all trips are done by bikes. Including children going to primary schools.

Linus provides his thoughts on mRNA vaccines
Commuting to work, five days a week opens up a lot of possibilities. But it also becomes a source of many problems.

Your commute to and from work are now influenced by traffic. Some days are worse than others, but your boss doesn’t care as long as you are on time.

Fuel/electricity, maintenance, tires, and all the other costs for owning a vehicle add up to be a significant cost. And if you are already paying a premium to drive, might as well capitalise on that.

Eventually you move a little farther from work to buy a bigger house for less, and free up some of your income for other things. That 30 minute commute is now an hour and maybe less on a good day.

Well, if your going to spend two hours a day in a vehicle, might as well buy something more comfortable.

This is a very cool hack.

When writing out text in this way it is intuitive enough, and works nicely. However, when going back to make edits, it is not a fun experience.

OSes don't know quite what to do rendering cursors around the hidden markdown characters. Arrow key navigation is rough. Adding text at the beginning/end of a styled span is ambiguous whether additions should go inside/outside.

But for composing markdown separately and then displaying "rich" text in contexts that only support plain text -- this could maybe be interesting.

For adding more markdown support, headings seem like a useful and doable next feature. And tables would be a feat!

Front-running is already illegal and nobody cares about doing it for a bunch of small retail traders. Also buying stock requires funds to clear for 2 days while selling doesn't, that's why buying was restricted but selling wasn't.

Whether Robinhood should have had more capital or how those margin requirements were handled is a serious question but that's entirely separate than these accusations which seem to be made by people who have no idea how the system actually works.
Another popular payment option is to pay by invoice. Obviously this means the merchant assumes (almost) all the risk. Hence this option is not available most of the time.

As for the question why people would choose to pay in advance? From my experience it was because they didn't have a credit card and didn't trust/didn't want to have a business relationship with PayPal, leaving Vorkasse as the only available payment option.

Another point that has been brought up was the perception that the bank transfer would be more secure, as in "if they have my credit card info/PayPal account, they can just charge me at any time". The fact that bank account information also enables you to debit the account is curiously often forgotten.

Is this a particular sensible position to take? Maybe not, but not everyone acts sensibly all the time.

I think a problem for many people with fractions is that there are many different ways to think of them. Numbers, slices of a pie, divisions, ratios, scales, quantities of non-whole units. This is a benefit: you can think of them in the most convenient way for what you are doing at a given moment. But I think it confuses people.

I wonder if it would be helpful to ban the division sign ÷.
Often when I ask a young person what is 8/4 they will say 2/1 (great, they know how to simply fractions!). But 8 divided by 4 goes exactly, and you can just do that.

First present division of natural numbers with natural number answers as e.g. 18/6 = 3.

Then present 1/2 ???!!!

But wait, one object split equally between two people means each person gets half of the object. So 1/2 is a half.

I hear this discussion also on this side of the pond and I just don't get it: why not reviving public transport? I can't see how even more car-friendly policies - self-driven cars or not - can make the roads more available... I'm in Switzerland and short or long distance, public transport gets you in comparable times with driving. Maybe not for some godforsaken places where you need to switch three buses, but 90% of the trips you're within 20% of the direct drive time (and parking time is never counted).
Oh, thanks, I might try that. I do remember a period years ago when I had the habit of falling asleep in front of the TV. I would put the TV on a timer and at 2-3am the sudden silence when the TV turned off would wake me up.
As said in another comment, we had a dozen instances or two affected. Most of the hashi stack just lost a node and chugged along at reduced redundancy. A patroni/postgres cluster lost a replica, but automatically re-integrated it into the cluster. Very nice and smooth.

We have mostly found one or two classes of jobs in the orchestration for which nomad stopped retrying deployments before the ec2 instances running the allocations were fully failed and removed from the cluster - and our on-call was unsure how to handle that situation in nomad right. Network and routing were really weird at some point. Additionally, we ended up with a couple of container instances orphaned from the container management, which was strange for a moment.

This was made a bit more hectic over here because a second hoster apparently fried their own network at the same time so we needed some time to realize we have two issues.

Overall, 5/5 Outage, would fail again once we've updated our jobs. We're happily close to not caring about such an incident.

only know a little about economics but it seems very unlikely inflationary would drive up stocks more than it's driving up prices across the board. even if it were, the (subjective) large over-valuation of stocks wouldn't really be explain by an increase in money supply.

When the stock market collapses, it probably won't move inflation directly rather the collapse in demand across the economy will. second order effects as credit is no longer available due to banks panicking and govts intervening...
This is literally what a lot of managers think a lot of people want.

People act (on average) with a lot more good faith than most corporate entities.

If, as a manager, you are unable to infer that this is happening, then in all probability that person would be doing the same 'dabbling' if they were co-located. (Just with a higher effort of looking busier).

Magnesium is a great addition in any situation.

Yeah, I've had the exact same experience. My previous managers always pushed me to hire based on which school the person went to, grades (for interns), or even ability to solve trainable problems (leetcode, whiteboard), but most of the time that didn't go well and we always got problem-people that knew how to pass a test but not to work on real world problems.

Looking only for skill, on the other hands, is hard but it pays off.

Remittances, things like wire transfers, account for 22% of their GDP.

Bitcoin will give that money back to the people with the way lower cost of transfers, esp through the Lightning Network that is planned to be widely used.
