Those speed limiters are indeed stupid, especially because on a 'regular' bike you can fairly easily outrun a normal e-bike (though probably not for as long unless you are in very good shape). Normal ones should be limited at 35 or so and speed-pedelecs at 50 Kph so you don't end up holding up other traffic. Where I live a speed-pedelec has to be in traffic but it isn't allowed to go as fast as that traffic, which creates all kinds of dangers.
> Our cities are not designed for European style public transportation. I don't know why people keep saying this. Public transportation at scale in most US cities would be a nightmare.

Counter-point: In spite of car-centric development, every city, suburb, and rural area has good public transportation that runs twice a day and only services minors. It's possible, we just don't fund it.

> Los Angeles is a good example of this. People work 50 miles from where they work. They shop 10 or 20 miles away. Etc. Nobody is going to walk five miles to go to a bus or train station. That would be silly. And then, what do I do when I need to take my three German Shepherds to the kennel, or the vet? Or when the family wants to go kayaking at the lake?

This is why we must also focus on land-use change (i.e. densification), as it strongly correlates with how well public transportation infrastructure scales.
Small world!
I too live in Ballard and have been super curious what these have been up to, they fly pretty low and have a lot of hardware hanging underneath them.
To call the US or EU deindustrialised is hilariously wrong. It manufactures more than ever before in its history. It's less polluting because it pays to process waste and designs processes to minimise waste, not because manufacturing is done elsewhere.

> The United States is the world's third largest manufacturer (after the People's Republic of China and the European Union) with a record high real output in Q1 2018 of $2.00 trillion (i.e., adjusted for inflation in 2009 Dollars) well above the 2007 peak before the Great Recession of $1.95 trillion.

We don't know how to make languages. We're in the Kepler stage of software development. Everyone has a different 'cosmology' to explain what's going on, we don't yet have the technology to understand what's going on, we don't have the math yet to explain what's going on, and we're just in the very beginning stages of even being able to take measurements of anything worth while.

"Here's a feature" Now, will it makes code bases better? Will it make them worse? Do we even have a way to quantify better or worse?

What looks like is happening to me is that general purpose languages are all slowly migrating to look a lot like ML with some sort of existential mechanism. So that is static type system with generics, lambdas, algebraic data types, pattern matching. The existential part is typically expressed with interfaces, but it looks like there's a few options floating around.

Meanwhile, low level programming language designers are all going crazy trying to find a way to replace c / c++. Rust, Odin, Zig, Jai (if it ever actually gets released), etc. That probably won't look like ML or at least it will need to have some other stuff to handle the domain without driving developers crazy.

I'm sure other domains will slowly figure out that they can cheat the triumvirate of engineering (fast, cheap, good) by developing languages that suit their domain.

But I suspect we're looking at 50-100 years before we really start to see any progress that lets us have "feature complete" languages.

I couldn't tell from an initial review of the feature set, but does this product incorporate any sort of digital signature / approval process? And I don't mean integration with DocuSign or similar, but something built in (and legally compliant). This feature alone has been a pain point for me for years when it comes to document flow and approvals, usually because of exorbitant pricing for per-user signing. Contract draft developed by a paralegal or similar, goes to legal for initial approval, then goes to safety dept and finance dept for their review and approval, then to maintenance for feedback and approval, then back to the legal department for adjustment, then to the other party (without access to your internal system) to edit and/or approve "as to form" (vs approve as complete), back to your legal dept and then again to the various VPs/directors, etc.

The other, semi-related feature I crave is the ability to generate entire documents from piecemeal templates. For example, drafting a new service contract where there are boilerplate paragraphs that must be included, with certain aspects replaceable (i.e. "Party 1" in the template can be replaced with "Bill's Plumbing, Inc."). Probably need to throw a force majeure clause in there, and an arbitration clause, and a bunch of other standard things, but maybe this particular document needs to have a clause about compliance with FAA regulations because they use drones to inspect piping.

For those purposes, some nice haves are: Automatic renumbering of sections and subsections, and automatic reference updating ("In accordance with section 5(f)(i) documented herein" or whatever) if paragraphs or sections are reordered for any reason. Multiple columns and sections, recognition of the occasional need to print hard copies. Version control and diffing.

Not sure if any of that makes sense or is doable already, but just a few thoughts on how I would personally use such a system as I understand it. Might not apply to the use case here, in which case sorry for wasting your time!
It's not your state, and this did go to court, you just weren't privy to the evidence because you're not a party involved in the investigation or the case, and have no security clearance in this foreign state to know the details.
The issue isn't about "proving" or anything like that. It's simply that I don't want to have social media. That's my personal choice. Friends are folks who respect their other friends personal choices.

> someone would like to get in contact with you but doesn't necessarily have your phone number

I see this differently: nobody is entitled to my time, or to contact me. If you don't have the means to contact me, that's because I don't want you to contact me. If I want you to be able to reach me, I will make it simple for you. Be that an email, phone number, or what-have-you. That someone random can't reach me on a whim is not a bug, it's a feature. If someone expects me to facilitate that for them, then they have a sense of entitlement to other's time. That's a them problem, not a me problem.
100% is too optimistic, yes.

25% is too pessimistic, though. If you have universal nuclear power, EVs don't ever have to charge from coal plants, so you've got a direct path to attacking the transportation 25%. Gas heating and cooking have electric alternatives, so you have a direct path to attacking that 25%. As for industry, I suspect a very decent fraction of its 25% consumes energy (and, therefore, could be readily substituted for electric) rather than hydrocarbons.

In any case, the many gigatons of CO2 we put into the atmosphere by killing nuclear are completely indefensible.
I have a close friend that is immune compromised and can't take a lot of vaccines due to allergies. It has been a life long struggle for them. It was a struggle long before covid and I imagine it will be a struggle long after. To say its not forever may be the case for some but not all. Many people will continue to have issues long after new cases die down.
Alpine is not a systemd-based distro, so Distrod will not implement Alpine-specific initialization. However, try `$ echo '' | sudo tee /etc/network/interfaces` and `> wsl --shutdown`. It will fix the network of Alpine. For network issues on other distros, the document to fix network will help. https://github.com/nullpo-head/wsl-distrod/blob/main/docs/re...
That depends on the conditions. If you adapt to the conditions then that would be fine, if you don't then even at normal e-bike speeds you are a danger. I never got why we have 200 Mph cars but a moped that can go 30 over the legal limit gets confiscated.
Yup, Mark Levine's comment was hilarious. Prince Salman probably got someone to hack the hackers and send this message.
>And so on.

Are they the same as glysophate or whatever because they're both chemical-sounding? Not necessarily. However, there's certainly enough uncertainty that you can't blanket state that organic pesticides are wholesome substances like "Vinegar. Sticky traps. Soaps. Diatomaceous earth. Targeted bacteria", and non-organic pesticides aren't in the same "league" entirely.
I remember a time before the last recession when none of the major airlines charged for checked bags. The major US airlines added those fees around 2008 IIRC to pad their bottom line and predictably people started cramming more into carry on bags, making the whole process more miserable.
For a transaction processing workload (where hitting indexes is the all-important thing), that's exactly right. But if you have more of an analytic workload involving sequential scans, Postgres definitely expects the underlying storage system to be handling at least some of the caching.
Keep in mind that it's just one option. If you want, you can still deploy your app separately from the .Net runtime.

Also, to keep the size at least somewhat in check, unused parts of the base library are not included in the single-file mode.
Haha, lucky you. I might not fly as much as you, but in my experience the moment a bag leaves my line of sight, the chance it gets lost leaps dramatically. As someone who's had checked bags lost, and gate-checked bags lost, the ability to get on earlier translates directly into peace of mind that my bag will be with me when I land.

As for getting my bag faster if it was gate-checked, how does that happen? Every time I've been gate-checked, my luggage ends up down in baggage claim the same as if I had regular-checked it. The only luggage that has met me at the gate has been a stroller.

Maybe I'm just flying cheap airlines, but I'll take first on and sitting in a stuffy plane over the chance of disaster and standing in the terminal any day of the week. You're waiting the same amount of time either way wherever you are.

But hey, your yin and my yang work great together, so you do you!

it seems to me the observable universe can be sliced into a 3d grid

Unfortunately when time is taken into consideration, we're looking at a 4D (at least, but let's be minimalist) space-time.

It seems generally accepted that we are living in a multiverse, so that even if time-travel was possible, even the act of breathing would enforce a move to a different universe from the universe where you had started your time-travel, and which you could never return to.

So, you can go back and kill Hitler (or even your own grandmother). But you can never go back and say "See what I did!".
Yes, this is a problem. I have a pretty beefy lock with my e-bike and still I don't feel comfortable leaving it outside a store for more than three minutes or so (which is probably still plenty of time to steal it).
> We all want to get on so we get space in the overhead bins, don't we?

No. Overhead bins are terrible and bad. It baffles me that anyone would want to fight for overhead bin space. It's a terrible game, and the winning move is not to play.

I always gate-check my luggage if it won't fit under the seat in front of me.

The lead designer of the Apple Car joined LoveFrom earlier this year. Ferrari has a hybrid car. Apple's ID team doesn't just design the objects they design the manufacturing machines too - and have been able to reduce a lot of materials waste. Would expect their relationship to extend into things like electric vehicles and manufacturing techniques.
Uh...why not the proper comparison, which is GDP per kg CO2? While I believe that GDP is Θ(1) bound to CO2 emissions, any comparison should include those constants. Your chart is missing the connection between kWh consumed and GDP generated.
"It is widely acknowledged that science made this transformation possible." Widely acknowledged by scientists, but not necessarily true. In the generation since this essay was published, could anyone argue that innovation has withered?
Yea, funny :D However, the problem was mostly deploying dotnet apps on servers which did not have dotnet installed. Windows has .NET installed anyway, so there the problem did not really exist

The nice thing about leetcode it is easy to bound the time to what you can handle. I do one puzzle a week and set a timer for 20 minutes. Then I get the answer and browse the forum. It's basically the equivalent of solving the Sunday crossword for me, and it keeps my algorithm skills sharp. Probably no worse than burning a lunch hour on HN.
Yep. Last means you have nowhere to put your bag.
If there is a sizable sink rate, or higher speeds, the odds of a jumper hitting the elevator or other parts of the plane are higher. We used to have to watch out even on little Cessna 182s - in the right conditions someone could easily hit it and rip it off, then everyone is in a world of hurt.

They really need to start marking stuff with [Obsolete()] more aggressively. C# has some now outmoded data structures and even keywords.

In my boring little town, a tourism town, we have a high-ranked ski hill within 40min of city centre, other options including heliskiing with a couple hours, world-class golf (and spa) with 20min of city centre and several other equally great ones within a couples hours drive, an enormous lake running a few hundred kilometres in length within 10min of city centre, world-class backcountry hiking in nearly every direction, a x-c ski area that regularly hosts world cups, awesome mountain biking, some amazing motorcycle highways, fantastic wineries and fruit farms, endless fresh vegetables, etc. International airport is 40min away. We even get some good performing arts acts. Lower Mainland is 4.5hr to downtown core. Population < 60K.

Not really seeing a downside to this place. Different strokes for different folks.
In the bay area there seems to be some companies that do this. Every time I turn on the radio there is an ad for "John buys bay area houses".

I think they do exactly what you say, give a quick cheap offer, then do some fixing and sell the normal way for a profit.

Basically, if you can convince someone to sell for x% less than the real price today, you can make x% - some costs. Of course this has huge variability, but the company I noticed do it in one market they probably know extremely well so they can make good bets.
>One can easily imagine a 100% renewable system of that kind.

Yeah, we have been doing too much imagining and too little execution.

Do some cities actually let cyclists bike on sidewalks? I bike 24/7 but this seems crazy. Bicycles needs their own, separate, protected paths, at the road level. Period.
The sample is dead clear.

I have a musical background but I would expect anyone who is at all familiar with the song to pick it out instantly.

Imagine if you were listening to someone speak Russian for 5 minutes, and they uttered a familiar phrase in English somewhere in there.

The English, because it's understandable/familiar to you, would pop out.

If they highly modified the sample (i.e. Daft Punk) it would be hard to pick out.

But this one is pretty straight forward.
I stand up every hour to stretch all limbs, and I always sit aisles.
I just took a couple flights and they were all booked solid and the main routes that weren't spur routes to county airports also had 10+ person standby lists. Granted this was just a few weeks ago during the American Airlines rash of cancellations so there were lots of rebookings but my understanding is most flights are booked solid these days.

And there is effect of becoming oversensitive when encountering strong stressor randomly and often. I stead of getting less sensitive people can start reacting more aggressively at smaller threat.
enjoy the airline losing it or someone stealing it at baggage return
A stall is fundamentally a loss of lift from the airflow leaving a lift producing configuration. Some people might use it as a ‘stall from 2”’ to describe landing, but it’s fundamentally undesirable in controlled flight (which includes getting wheels on the ground). You don’t actually stall at 2”, and if you were that is a very bad idea as a gust of wind can mean you’ll randomly stall at 20ft next time and crash.
When checking luggage you lose significant time upon arrival, at least in Europe. From gate i can be on the train to the city in 10 minutes without checked luggade. With it is probably 30minutes.
Having grown up with a garden, I just don't see how industrial scale "organic" anything is even possible. _All sorts_ of bugs will simply devour your produce and fruit and nothing will be left to sell if you don't use pesticides. And this will happen _every year_ like clockwork, often several times a year, with different bugs. And soil will turn to shit within a few years if you don't use fertilizers (manure at a minimum, which, by the way, is high in nitrates, same as "inorganic" fertilizer), even though you rotate crops. So yeah, I do think it's a scam for city people who have no idea how farming works.

Pinterest seems like such a squandered opportunity to me. It’s classic short term thinking vs long term vision.

I basically ignore any Pinterest links because they’re just shoe pages and a login trap driven by mindlessly chasing engagement metrics.

It’s Experts Exchange that was wiped out by Stack Overflow.

The costs of this should be low. If YouTube can host videos basically for free and without forcing you to login, Pinterest can host a free links and images.

Make your site easy to use and a C pleasure to use and you build long term loyalty, behavior and engagement. The way they’re doing it screams of bad product management where engagement inevitably drops and any number of external factors will be blamed. Google downranking, competition, Facebook/Instagram, whatever. Never any internal failure.

Basically the Yelp playbook for the last decade.

> I don't understand why the cursory math of someone with no domain knowledge, business understanding, or access to accurate data is at all interesting

The post is similar to many things you read online (on HN or other places) it's really just 'infotainment' and it doesn't really matter if it's accurate anymore than a Netflix series might be.

Generally even articles by people that have domain knowledge can be just compounding of early errors or assumptions they make.

'Napkin math' though is always interesting because it would lead you to believe that if the numbers you are using don't make sense there is probably something you aren't considering that you need to think about.
Even the things we can’t understand how they do, or why, should be detectable, as long as they are unnatural enough.
The famously outperforming fund at Renaissance (Medallion) does not take outside money, and Renaissance itself is a privately held company, so there's not much need to cultivate such a cult.

Honestly, I don't really get your perspective. Simons legitimately was one of the best mathematicians in the world and was sacked from the NSA. This isn't some Musk-esque 'I sleep on the factory floor and sign off on everything despite lacking the bona-fides' nonsense, he was 40 before entering the investment industry and before that won top research prizes, published quality research and ran a math department.

As someone who programs with .NET in their day job...no probably, not.

Outside of a few areas related to DDD, event sourcing, and some distributed-system frameworks (NServiceBus and MassTransit) there's really no killer app for .NET, in my opinion.

The big selling point for .NET now is that it runs on Linux...which is not really a selling point in the grand scheme of things.
