Someone on twitter was talking about the Franz Ferdinand insane ripples of the man's decision to ban anime pornography on his site:

1. He bans it

2. One "moot" was then currently showing around his futaba channel clone "4chan" and not getting many bites

3. The pornography-obsessed people decide to abscond to 4chan en masse, determining the culture of /b/ and all that

4. This leads to the proliferation of fascism and other foolish ideology in /b/ and eventually to the quarantine zone, /pol/

5. Someone starts posting as "qanon"

6. A depressing number of people start believing in that crap

7. Many depressing things

e: looks like 4chan also has a banner for the occassion:

" RIP Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka

Our dad who disowned us"

which one would surmise would also describe moot. Who wouldn't disown 4chan if it was created from their actions?
>However, the rocket component is not a necessity for putting an object into orbit, the company explains on its website: “Because kinetically launched satellites exit the atmosphere without a rocket, SpinLaunch enables a future in which constellations of satellites and space payloads can be launched with zero emissions in the most critical layers of the atmosphere.”

Agreed that this seems like a misinterpretation by the article’s author. A suborbital trajectory with 2km/s dv can certainly leave the atmosphere before the upper stage starts burning which I think is what SpinLaunch is referring to here. Depending on how you cut it the stated 200,000ft / 60km ignition altitude quoted in the article can already be considered “above the atmosphere.”
>> If someone wants to do some old school driving in 2040, go have fun on a private racetrack or whatever

This reminds me of how only rich people could afford to fly places in the 1940s; then the upper-middle class could afford airline vacations in the 60s-80s; then by the 2000s, it was available to everyone so everyone had to be treated like scum/cattle, and once again if you wanted to take a nice vacation you had to be rich and buy first class tickets, or rent a jet.

So your ideal vision for 2040 is that everyone is herded everywhere and no one gets to experience even a fleeting sense of freedom on the road, except the extremely rich who can afford cars that aren't road-legal and can only go to racetracks? Or maybe large private land holdings?

Because currently, we still live in a society where the average person can experience a modicum of freedom - mobility, autonomy, and privacy - by getting in their car and driving it without help from a computer or monitoring from the government. I think that's worth preserving. A generation that grows up without ever feeling that freedom will be way too easy to control.

Maybe driving your own car will seem anachronistic like, say, writing in full sentences without emojis. But if you think about what we'd be losing, as a personal experience of having the privilege to take yourself anywhere on your own recognizance, it seems like a massive step backwards to deprive humans of that. And it sounds like imprisonment.
The ability to click "I lost my iPhone" and be confident that no thief can just erase the phone and use it himself.

It normally involves ensuring the device has secure boot, non-rollbackable firmware, tamper-resistant storage for a 'when I last talked to my server' timestamp, and network connectivity to be able to talk to a server to get the lock/unlock status.
Yeah. I agree with this. I tend to be very law abiding. And I think e-bikes enable me to be more willing to come to complete stops, and generally follow traffic laws than most bike riders I know.

But I’d definitely acknowledge that a lot of e-bike riders seem to be engaging in risky behavior, quite possibly without realizing the risk.
I bought a used car 6 years ago, and since then I've spent €2,200 on maintenance - that includes oil and tire changes. I'm quite strict on following the manufacturers guidelines, so if you were a bit more laissez-faire or did more work yourself it would be cheaper.

Insurance costs €150/year. I drive around 10,000km per year, which at today's prices (€1.50 per litre) fuel costs €900/year.

I paid €10,000 to buy the car and today the same aged cars will sell for around €6,000. That gives a total cost of ownership (excluding fuel) of €1,100/year or €2,000/year including fuel.

For my family's usage that works out cheaper than public transport + renting a car for longer trips.
You would rather this type of person drive a 2 ton vehicle? “Well people are going to have poor judgement” isn’t really a good argument against anything.
So you think that you can calculate it as dangerous but they can't? It seems to me like the dangers of riding a bicycle fast on the road is really obvious and the e-bike riders are calculating the risk just as experienced riders are. Not everyone has your risk appetite.
Current C-suite culture should suffice.
As another phrased it: because that's the meta.

You have to excel in all coursework on the default track to competing in race of society. There are opt-outs/alternatives popping up, but they're not mainstream.
I think this is a natural phenomenon to platforms that prioritize data driven growth.

The most successful things for user engagement has always been porn. Of course, that's banned, so what happens is the closest thing to porn within the rules.

They'll probably stop this later as Meta is treading on thin ice. But it always gets replaced by something similar. Reels had a lot of things that arguably was softcore pornography when they first launched.

If you ignore it or report it, it disappears after a while.

In Sydney it’s just too treacherous to cycle, and the risk of injury is too high to me to make it worth it.

In addition there are places where bikes are massively inconvenienced vs cars.

The classic example is the (I’d guess) 6 story flight of stairs to walk your bike up to use the harbour bridge. There are other examples like this, around bridges.

These add a lot of time and sweat to a commute making it more convenient to drive or eat a train or bus.

Cycling for pleasure, if you drive to the right places, is still possible.

> The ghost cities of 2010 are now bustling metropolises. The ghost cities of 2020... Are on track to become bustling metropolises.

That really isn't true. Kangbashi (a district of Ordos in Inner Mongolia) is still pretty empty for the amount of infrastructure they've built. They "lowered" their population target and claimed success, and are trying to get people to move there by putting in a good school, but you can still go there to see empty boulevards.

Likewise, China's tallest building is an incomplete skyscraper in Tianjin that hasn't had any work done on it since 2015. Tianjin also overbuilt on a new financial district that no one is really interested in.

Many of these overbuilt buildings are never going to be lived in before they are torn down. They just aren't in very convenient locations (e.g. not enough jobs to sustain those areas and no one wants to commute in traffic to where their are jobs).
You'll probably be less time efficient than a full-time mechanic though.
Furthermore, it is incredibly C++ centric, and twenty year old C++ at that; I reviewed it a decade ago and realized many of the patterns are solutions to problems that many other languages don’t suffer from.
This sounds great in theory, but I don't find it convincing.

Motorcyclists say the same thing about speed being a benefit and maybe it is in some cases, but if you look at the stats, the faster the bike, the more likely you will die. Speeding is a factor in 32% of fatalities.

I'd be surprised if it's significantly different on an e-bike.

You’ve put your finger on a real problem for me. I live in the UK countryside, and we get a lot of serious cyclists visiting here. The most dangerous pattern I see is occupying the middle of the road - which is fine when they’re doing 25mph in a 30mph road. But they stay there in 60mph sections, causing drivers to accelerate and veer round them. If we had more riders doing the same thing on ebikes, I imagine there’d be more accidents, not fewer.

I'd rather they drive a machine that is fast enough to keep up fully with traffic, outfitted with proper safety mechanisms like ABS and turn signals, and wear protective DOT-approved safety gear.

Motorcycles are not that much more expensive but they're much safer. The only reason that ebiking isn't killing people is because it's new and rare, but when that changes it's obviously worse for people to be sitting on the edge of the road at around 30mph with nothing other than a cycling helmet and airpods.
Is this really the the thing to focus on? Awful lot of fascinating content in there otherwise.
What is a good book on the subject?
A good U lock for quick stops, and storing in a secure area overnight and at work does a lot to prevent most theft.

Additionally, renters/homeowners insurance. Just make sure it covers ebikes (some do not, like Travelers). Policies usually cover theft away from home.

Foldable bikes to bring in your home are also a solution if you do not have a safe place to secure your bike overnight.
VanMoof has some phone home anti theft as a service with integrated tracking. I guess e-bikes could use some kind if location tag embedded in a non removable part like the frame. Rental e scooters have anti theft feature that they sound an alarm and block the wheels if moved although it's useless unless it also phones home. I move them when people park them in our apartment building's courtyard which is private property and against the TOS.
Lol at the first one, replacing nmp with DMSO/EtOAc while an improvement in toxicity, it's still expensive, toxic, and hard to remove/recycle.
Personally, I disable it on a per-use basis, and not within Settings.

And actually, my use case for per-use disabling is usually when I'm the driver: I turn on my car and then I pick up my phone to select some music - but I can't because the phone thinks I'm driving even though I'm parked.

But I'm sure most people have it permanently disabled.
I had to Google ubiquitin to verify that this wasn't a dryly elaborate reddit-surprise thread. It is indeed a well-named compound, ubiquitous among eukaryotes, and even if "boc" and "fmoc" are basically just fizz and buzz to me, it sure sounds like you know what you're doing.
The elementary school our kids go to has an official policy of "no homework". It's more like "low homework" though. According to past parents the school used to really load the kids up on this stuff.

Most homework is just something like "read for 30 minutes". Other than that, they do sometimes assign more formal homework, but most of it takes 5-10 minutes, and they explicitly state that if it you spend 30 minutes on it and haven't finished, you can stop.

Every week the kids pick 4 books from a set of books the teacher chose for that individual's reading level. And they get to go to the library and pick any book they want.

And no homework over the weekend, except to "have fun".

Just meeting anecdote with anecdote, but in my experience the overwhelming majority of accidents and near accidents with bicycles happen because either a driver isn't paying attention, or the bicyclist intentionally cuts in front of traffic to get hit or fuck with people (San Francisco).

E-bikes make the first case safer because, as described in the article, the faster you go the more time the driver has to notice you and slow down before crushing or swiping you. Similar but slightly different, you also spend less time in intersections when you go faster, lowering your chance of getting hit by turning or cross traffic
New Orleans post-Katrina style , that’s how. Takes political will though.
> The value of homework has little to do with learning.

I learned the hard way that skipping the homework means bombing the test. You don't learn problem solving skills by listening to a lecture or watching TV. It's easy to imagine you've learned it, till you're confronted by the test.
I think it shouldn't be objectionable to protect the public from decisions so bad, they might as well be scams.

Because of all this I’m super tough on young people that come to work with me.

The first thing I tell them is that this is not school anymore.

The second thing I tell them is that what they learned in college does not apply here, so forget everything that happened there.

Thirdly, I push them super hard.

Fourthly, I fire people quickly.

Finally, because of this, I go through a good number of people, but the best ones rise to the top and do very well.

This phenomenon is occurring in almost all countries at this time. And the only way to combat it is to push back against it —- hard.
> Moravec wrote in 1988: it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests

That is just plain AI hubris, performing well on intelligence tests isn't easy even today unless you pick a very specific kind of intelligence test. It costs millions of dollars of computation just to make the AI play a simple game like starcraft or dota reasonably well with the methods we have today, the real world is way more complex than those games and will get way more expensive.

In simple lab or factory environments he is right though, there the reasoning can be implemented with a simple maze solver or inverse kinematics or similar so basically free.

But still, his paradox no longer applies today. Object detection is already good enough for robots, the problem is the reasoning required to actually navigate around those objects, not detecting them. For example, Uber detected the woman they ran over and killed, but their navigation algorithm assumed it wasn't an important object so just ran her over. The hard part was the reasoning, not the vision.
My particular gripe is with GTK readahead (or type ahead, idk), which was added with no ability to disable, permanently changing the behaviour of open dialogs. Patches were submitted with added a configuration to the registry (or whatever it’s called in gnome land) which we’re ignored.

I know at some point torvalds raised similar patches for UI element placement and was ignored.

Obviously they have no obligation to do things that subsets of users want, but the result of that is people like me, who will laugh when they become obsolete.

I believe homework are useless. but if you think they are a more effective way of learning then why not replace lecture with exercise?

With IPFS you can pay someone to pin a file (or do it yourself), and bittorrent you can just seed it yourself.

But if your NFT is a URL to some random webserver (which might not be the majority of NFTs, but is not an insignificant number according to [0]), you have no control over it unless the previous owner passes along the credentials somehow. Or, they might not pass them along, and modify or delete the file because...what are you going to do about it? Good luck getting a refund.

Either way, you have to do something to ensure your investment doesn't become unreachable.

> So you think that you can calculate it as dangerous but they can't?

I'm sure they know it's dangerous at some level but there's fundamental differences in riding patterns between someone who has thousands of hours in the saddle and someone who just got on a bike. For example in the last week I've seen ebike riders swap in and off the sidewalk, not use helmets, and change lanes without a shoulder check. Experienced cyclists don't typically do these.

I can understand other valedictorians not doing well in college.
We put a ton of money into the schools. It does not get to the right place, and what does is not spent on the traditional basics.

Insurance seems to very high compared to Japan. With good history, 35yr old, and having Prius, unlimited insurance with car insurance takes below $300/yr.

So many cringe statements in this post I'm not going to reference them here. One note which I think is missed often with heavy electric cargo bikes is a simple equation, used in car collisions to determine safety requirements.

F = 0.5 mv^2

The electric nature of these bikes makes them go faster than regular bikes so the force in case of an accident is increased by the square of increase in velocity. Add the increased mass of these cargo bikes and the force on impact is very large. It's very surprising there is no regulation on use of these bikes on normal bike lanes or sidewalks which I see often in places like San Francisco.
