Hahaha. Are you joking? It's somewhat rare in Europe not to have a roundabout like this. They are clearly way better for pedestrians. You only have to cross half the road before you get to a safer place.

Compare this intersection which seems to have been somewhat recently upgraded:

To

https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9679454,-86.1403837,3a,75y,2...

Notice that there is also now a bend in the road so a car physically has to slow down to navigate it, unlike miles of straight traffic light intersections.
That's not how realtor fees work. The seller pays them. And plenty of real estate changes hands without the involvement of real estate agents. What you've described is a worst-case scenario which completely ignores the fact that homeowners have a real asset they can then sell.

Further, any of this handwaving about all the fees of ownership apply just as well to whoever owns the property you're renting -- all of which costs they simply pass to the renter. There is no world where renting is as cost-effective as ownership over the long term.

I thought I was done with single-player games, and then a friend gave me Disco Elysium, an art project/interactive book/detective story/mortality reminder that introduced me to British Sea Power (music). I’m particularly impressed with the skill tree and the term “Inland Empire” for one of the detective’s inner voices, and that many failed actions can be retried after increasing the relevant skill.

For books, Finding the Mother Tree, by Suzanne Simard, for reinforcing how important soil-health is to the growth of trees. I wish more of the old trees and not just Douglas Fir had been left around here, since they help the next crop of trees come up healthier, due to the mycorrhizal fungus that links the roots (and benefits from the sugars in what seems to be a mutualism). After a clearcut, the parasitic fungi are more likely to take over as they digest the lopped trees, making it harder for new trees to establish. Thanks to this book, Anna Octavia Butler and Robin Wall Kimmerer, I practice taking a longer view.
Brit living in Canada. I hate left turns in North America. Often you can't clearly see oncoming traffic, pedestrians have right of way which can leave you unable to complete a manuever and a lot of judgment is put on drivers to turn at the correct time.

There's a technical solution to this problem. Dedicated left turn lights which appear to run in some places only during peak hours.

Looking at it another way, you didn't need to set up any tooling to shepherd data into production because everyone involved understood the point of the joke. It was a very clear example of GIGO for your entire company and the cost was one meeting.

A lot of my joke errors boiled down to "you've hit an edge case I didn't handle, here's an easily searchable string to find the location". They were jokey because the subtext was another late night and you might as well soften the blow.
Would love to hear about your tech stack, approach, etc.
It's a fact, a lot of people whether driving or walking are looking at their map directions on phones. If you're driving you have to really watch out for mad drivers - if you're turning into a gap in oncoming traffic it can be a huge problem if some clown accelerates up to you as you try to make a turn while pedestrian(s) with no peripheral vision skills walk out into the road in your path oblivious to what could be a pretty nasty accident.

It would also be really helpful if US drivers could learn to use their indicators to signal their intentions to everyone.

The cited data [0] is presented in a super confusing way - the categories are "At Intersection" (18%), "Not At Intersection" (73%), and "Other" (9%). Apparently "other locations such as roadsides/shoulders, parking lanes/zones, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, medians/crossing islands, driveway accesses, shared-use paths/trails, non-traffic way areas, and other sites," which make up the "Other" category, are neither intersections nor non-intersections.

I'm gonna guess the "Not At Intersection" category refers solely to jaywalkers.

> Paying property taxes and mortgage interest and insurance and maintenance and real estate commissions are also throwing away money.

I don't understand, do you think landlords don't pay tax, insurance premiums, or maintenance costs for their property? Those are all passed on to tenants with room left over to make the landlord a profit.
What is also dangerous are pedestrians who see a car turning or proceeding, look right at the car/driver, and then walk into the crosswalk, assuming car will slam breaks on. Or the pedestrian can’t be bothered to look up from their smartphone or stop their podcast to hear what’s going on around them.

Pedestrians have some responsibility to co-exist as well.
I think there is a general problem with this line of research. This paper and others try to attribute execution time to specific instructions to provide feedback to software developers. But there’s no way to verify that the resulting execution time breakdown is “correct.” If the tool says 5% of execution time is spent in a particular ADD instruction, I can’t just take out the instruction and verify this claim - the resulting program would be functionally different. Then how do I know if it’s really 5%, 10%, or some other number?

Not to say that there’s no value in this research area; I would like the processor to provide feedback on where the performance bottlenecks are in my program. I would rather the researchers focus on generating meaningful optimization suggestions rather than just a table of numbers, though.

Housing prices are fairly constant/slowly rising based on payment amount for a 30 year mortgage. The problem is the interest rate has really dropped to crazy low levels. A few years ago a $1,500 payment meant ~$310,000 purchase price, today that same payment is ~$350,000. The drop in interest rates is responsible for a majority of the recent price increases for the vast majority of the country outside the most in demand cities in the country.
Why are both not responsible? Something seems broken and I don't think it's just drivers. As someone else noted, a lot of these accidents (73%) do not occur at a crosswalk. I could only think that means parking lots and people j-walking.

The rush to push blame on either drivers or pedestrians with these kind of vague statistics is really weird.
I'm honestly surprised there aren't more traffic fatalities in San Francisco, especially with how many pedestrians, ride sharing drivers, and narrow streets there are.

Coming from the mid-west, there are status quo norms (laws?) that baffle me:

- Cars can park all down the street, even right up on the crosswalks at either end. It is incredibly hard to see people trying to use the cross walks, when they are behind the cars. Cars parking that close is illegal in many streets where I'm from.

- The amount of cross walks in the middle of high traffic streets (not intersections) that rely solely on visibility between the driver and pedestrian. Again, these streets are usually lined with cars on either side, so it's even harder to see. They could use the electronic, push button signs that light up and beep when a pedestrian wants to cross; which to be fair I've seen around, but not nearly as many as there should be.

I understand the city isn't going to reduce street parking, but at least implement better communication between drivers and pedestrians. The light up cross walks are a good start.
When I say "the value now depends" I mean the value you computed in that stronger theory is not computable in the weaker one, and therefore the computation depends on the stronger theory, and therefore the value is only correct if the stronger theory is consistent.
Are you able to share examples of sites which aren't loading well in Brave? We'd be happy to take a closer look and see what can be done. To your question though, it's technically possible for a site to throttle bandwidth for users who are blocking ads, but this would be a complicated and extremely error-prone process. It would likely result in far too many false-positives to be considered by any major site. Not to mention, it's entirely possible to make a site think an ad has loaded when it fact it has not (Brave does this in some cases).

> In SF it would be preferable to reduce street width

Absolutely. It seems like the best way to reduce speeds in cities is to make it uncomfortable to drive fast in them. Big wide streets make it feel like you're going "slow" at 25mph, so people go faster.

Of course, we could also slowly carve out areas of cities where cars are not allowed, but how will businesses survive if people can't park directly in front of them? /s

Speed limits are set in part by how fast people actually drive on a street. You need to go further up-funnel and redesign streets so speeding doesn’t feel safe.

I agree that society doesn’t want to touch this issue because it impedes freedom of mobility in a car oriented country. I would be in favor of 5-10 year relicensing requirements and higher license fees to incentivize higher quality drivers.

i actually saw one of these accidents a few years ago. a woman a few steps behind her companion got thrown over the hood and to the side (miraculously not seriously injured though). the car started from a stop light, and probably hit her at around 15-20 mph. it was unbelievable that the driver didn't recognize the pedestrians waiting at the light and further didn't look at all when he started moving. that is, until the driver admitted to being distracted (by phone, passenger, and music simultaneously).

the biggest bang for buck here is to reduce any and all distraction in driving (including touchscreen controls), rather than trying to slow cars down further or make cars safer.

I guess there's another causal chain, which is 'buying ETH to pay gas fees -> price of ETH goes up -> value of block reward to miners goes up -> more miners find it profitable to operate rigs'. I wonder how strong that effect is.
I think you might be reacting too strongly? Take a step back, and rather than making this a victim/perp situation, look for anything that can mitigate the end result. Some of that is changing how people drive, but some of it could also be how people walk -- at least when they are crossing roads. Texting on your phone while going across a sidewalk definitely increases the risk. And it doesn't matter if you're right and the driver is wrong, because you're still dead either way.

I was actually careful not to equate "active" with "directly reaching out to people," but taking any active means of furthering the spread of the idea.

"3. (with reference to motion, light, sound, etc.) transmit or be transmitted in a particular direction or through a medium"

This is the third definition the search engine I use returns for the term, and by it you are indeed correct. The direction, and method are unspecified.

In other words, the term "propagation" is quite likely not the source of people's confusion that the original blog post thinks it is. It's great that they investigated for themselves and figured out what's going on, and wrote up an explanation of it. That's useful, but note the section of the post 'okay, DNS records actually do “propagate”.'. By taking issue with the term "propagate" they've just muddied the waters yet again.

You just did a 5 why lol. Interestingly enough, for the plant it took you a while to arrive at the fact that the seed is the true cause of all those plants growing where you don't want them. Next you'd ask why there were those seeds in the field in the first place, and you might realize they're being blown from some other field by the wind. Now you know what to address.

That said, you're right,maybe there are many sources of the seed coming to the field, and in a 5 why you can recognize that, but target the biggest bang for your buck first.

And in your other example:

> "Because the Board of Directors can't attract investors with reasonable sales targets"

> "Why?"

> "Because investors are greedy"

You're just not asking the correct question.

Yes "the sales targets for the enterprise are unrealistic", but why does that result in the issue that happened?

You would want to come out of it with, even when the sales target are unrealistic, our processes are resiliant to the issue that just occurred. So now ask the Why's that take you to this answer.
