I95 in that section is only 3 lanes, when it should have been upgraded to 4 many years ago. Instead, they focused on adding 2 HOV lanes which change direction mid day. They could have added 3 lanes in EACH direction (6 total) given the space required for the HOV, and spent less money doing it.

In addition, NIMBY cancelled the eastern bypass (upgrade of US 301 to I97), which would have allowed interstate traffic to bypass this section of I95. So there is really only one major trunk route in this area. You have to go a couple of hours west to get to I81.

So, they essentially have 8 lanes worth of traffic trying to share 3 lanes. And they have both interstate and commuter traffic on the same route.

Many commuters have adapted as best they can to the situation (look up "slug lines", HOV, and a few other things). That plus rail is all maxed out. They need more roads and lanes.
> The advocates say it's not a URL - it's the art you're buying

I've found that most NFT advocates will agree that you are only paying for a receipt on the blockchain that some central service like OpenSeas equates to you 'owning' a piece of art, and maybe the original artist too, but only conceptually and not legally (services that include signing over copyright notwithstanding).

That this is mostly a status symbol for the wealthy to dump cash into, like digital diamonds, is also a not uncommon view - but the difference is that they think that is a valuable end unto itself, and people like myself don't.

>Ok so, here’s the plan: you pay $15 for a sandwich and I give my whole team a raise. Sweet. You’re the best! The money’s gotta come from somewhere. People seem to forget that part. But yes, I like this idea. In fact, Chipotle has recently increased both wages and pricing. McDonald’s as well. Now our turn, LFG!

And yet, if you go to the source the article links directly in that paragraph: "Chipotle Mexican Grill has hiked menu prices by roughly 4% to cover the cost of raising its workers’ wages...In May, Chipotle said that it would raise hourly wages for its restaurant workers to reach an average of $15 an hour by the end of June."

4% price increase to get to a living wage. Not $15 sandwiches, just $7.28 instead of $7. Pay your employees. It's that simple.
I’m not sure I totally buy this. Yes psychedelics illuminate your mind but they also induce spiritual experiences in most people that take them.

The original problem is that people want to Google for recipes and not pay for them.

As a cook there are several solutions to this:

1) pay for a subscription from vendors who are in business to sell recipes, such as Cooks Illustrated

2) get recipes from companies that provide them as a complement because they sell something else, generally food-related products. For instance King Arthur Baking has good recipes, and many are available from food companies such as Tyson, Kraft, and Betty Crocker. Grocers also have many recipes. These sources aren't interested in spamming users with ads because the website is one big ad.

3) Buy cookbooks, they're not expensive.

But yeah as long as people want to crank search terms into Google and get "free" stuff, it's going to be ad-infested, and then other ad-seeking folks are going to run their shakedown operations just like the adblock extensions charge money to advertisers to let their ads through.

Ask HN: Any data scientists interested in dating app data?
Hey folks, I've been working a travel matching and dating app for the last 3 years. We have over 5M+ data points on users and match events. Data include: city (based on IP), current country, desired travel locations, search preferences, matches, gender, age, personality type (based on MBTI), ethnicity, mobility (not remote, semi, fully remote), languages, nationality, and photos of faces.

If you'd like to use the data anonymously for any research topics, please get in touch with me. We're sitting on a lot of data that could be really interesting. I find data scientists super inquisitive and brilliant, so just wanted to offer this opportunity to collaborate.
In general I'm openly against Scrum. Whenever I join a team doing Scrum I can immediately notice how the artificial concepts stiffle innovation and productivity. The "sprint" made sense when we used to release software every 2 weeks, not every 2 hours. The "scrum master" is a glorified meeting facilitator, and I've never seen anyone doing both sprint review and retrospective every 2 weeks.

I disagree with 1 thing in the article though: the estimates.

> A simple estimate of “how many days?” would have been easier to think and reason about, while also providing more granularity.

How many days will it take you to do this task? - you can ask the team

* Ben, a junior dev, says a week.

* Carol, a senior dev, new to the company, says 3 days.

* Dara, a team veteran, say 1 day, at most.

That's why estimating using time is wrong, because time depends on an individual. Instead of asking "how quickly can you run to that building?" ask "how far do you think that building is?". The distance is independent of anyone's skills. The complexity of the task does not depend on how skilled you are, that's why we're using abstract units, to measure the size, not the time.
I don't think 3 was compressed, it was 4 and 5 that became 4 due to fears the network would cancel it without having a chance to resolve the big arcs. But even there, the story was that they did it by dropping the side plots, and then the 5th season that aired was made entirely of those dropped side plots, not just extended in the usual sense.

Also interestingly from that link, the end of that version of season 5 where Sinclair was believed to be a traitor, got rolled into the planned plot of the Crusade spinoff, though the series was canceled before they reached that point.
> Virtually all of the clinical trials and robust research studies psilocybin in conjunction with 10 or more non-psychedelic therapy sessions.

Tangential, but I've noticed that all the psilocybin trials I've read about are combined with therapy as well; my knee jerk assumption is that there are legal/moral/funding powers at play causing that. Not sure a study would get funded if it consisted of "we're going to get a bunch of depressed people to take shrooms and see what happens!".

The more scientific approach would be to separate the therapy group from the shroom group.

> aren't happy doing assembly line work

On the contrary, I'm perfectly happy doing "assembly line work" - or rather, I'd be perfectly happy doing "assembly line work" for what I get paid as a software developer and just seeking fulfillment outside work. The problem isn't the assembly line work-ization of software development - if it were, this job would be a $10/hour unionized grind. The problem is that managers only know how to manage assembly-line work, so they insist that software development must be assembly-line-izable in spite of all the evidence that it isn't.
Don't worry, I'm sure there will be a DISCLAIMER: Might cause joy, positive thinking, happiness and love for one another.

Yes, it's hard to literally relocate hundreds of thousands of jobs according to some urban planners dreams. We aren't talking about intra city planning, but about state wide job markets. I guess Canada is dysfunctional too because there is absolutely no way to get rail service working beyond the big cities. Maybe it has something to do with north America not being Europe so trying to just force a European model here is a pure pipe dream.

Again, not talking about public transit in cities (which is amazing and should be scaled up) but about intercity/state/province transport. The distances, and spread are just not comparable to almost anywhere else in the world and you can't just magically make everyone move.
My mom drove the ~120 miles from Northern VA to Richmond yesterday, leaving around 3pm. This trip takes 2 hours on a good day, and has taken me 4+. It took her SEVEN HOURS. She ended up taking "back roads", had to backtrack several times, and eventually came into Richmond on I-64 from the west.

The mechanism suggests a strong "industrial" base to support it. They had to get the metals from somewhere, find the expert artisans to craft from somewhere else, source the parts, find the tooling etc.

Just as a mass produced pencil isn't just a pencil, it is the capacity to produce the pencil.

They had the capacity to create precision gearing, which suggests a level of mechanical prowess that isn't matched until a century or so before the dawn of the industrial age.
There is broad consensus that the One Wheel could do more to warn riders of an impending nose dive.

For example, an audible tone the moment it shuts off the motor while underway.

There are other design changes that could reduce the danger of a nose dive that 3rd party manufacturers have pounced on including small wheels that allow the product to potentially slow instead of come to a dead stop when an edge hits the ground.

I don’t know what product liability is for continuous mounting evidence that an existing design is lacking obvious safety feature and choosing not to make changes or acknowledge this.

But I suspect ultimately this will end in a class action suit.

> You need to get ahead of induced demand, otherwise you city isn't meeting the needs of the people who live there.

Well, there's an annoying edge case that must be considered as well. In some cases, "induced demand" is "stealing demand from somewhere else".

Lets say you have Town Foo and Town Bar. If you build a highway to Foo, all the additional traffic might be "stealing" traffic from Town Bar and benefiting Town Foo. Especially if people emigrate out of Town Bar for closer housing to Town Foo, you didn't really improve the lives of anyone. You just caused everyone to migrate over.

---------

Ideally, you want to build highways / roads / transportation in ways that benefits people, and causes the least inconvenience to other towns.

> It should be noted that in the original article the test subjects (1) take Psilocybin only once and (2) are followed from this dose by hours of therapy by a professional psychologist.

Virtually every modern psychedelic study includes huge amounts of therapy. I actually don’t know if review boards would even approve a study which didn’t have a significant therapy component right now.

This makes the study results non-portable to recreational use. Many of the depression studies use upwards of 20 therapy sessions around the 1 or 2 psychedelic sessions, which is nothing like what happens when taking psychedelics recreationally.

> It is inconceivable for us to imagine a rapid regression today

To the contrary, I'm finding it increasingly likely that I will see the collapse of civilization within my lifetime, and I'm 57. I see two prospective tipping points on the horizon: the collapse of democracy in the U.S. leading to nuclear war, and climate change leading to world-wide food shortages. The former seems likely within 5-10 years, and the latter within 20-30.

(And BTW, I am not feeling anywhere near as sanguine about this as the text above makes it sound.)
Important for what though? Life success? If so there's probably some truth to this, that someone with high social intelligence but low analytical intelligence has a good chance at a successful career, whereas the reverse can be a rocky road.

However, in order to make good decisions and complete good work at an individual level, analytical intelligence is extremely important. Without analytically intelligent people, modern technological society would be impossible.

Of course when someone combines high social and analytical intelligence, their success can be magnified, and they are positioned to lead complex organizations.

Where did you get that idea? The Agile Manifesto literally says:

Scrum is deliberately incremental precisely because it's designed to accommodate continuously changing business requirements that are NOT predictable.
Show HN: Entfer – a search engine that lets you control the ranking of sites
Entfer is new web search engine that aims to give users more control over the search experience, starting with allowing users to set their own ranking for sites, but also respecting the query terms and parameters defined by the user.

Entfer uses an independent index, to avoid starting off with a strong bias defined by search giants and the SEO industry.

It’s currently at an early prototype stage. The index is growing but still small, and many important features do not exist yet, such as exact phrase searching, but they are coming soon.
To your first paragraph, yes, but battery charge can decline rapidly in the cold at low states of charge. You may exhaust the reserve depending on your circumstances.

Slight tangent here, but back when I owned a 1995 BMW 525i I discovered while browsing a parts catalog that BMW had developed a special emergency fuel jerry can[0] that slots into the spare wheel. The can was flat bottomed but the sides curved to fit inside the spare wheel (it was a full sized wheel back then) and it had a removable metal hose that clipped on the top when not in use. It was a fantastic piece of design. It held 9 litres if I recall correctly, so it wasn’t too heavy to carry when full (of course, you store it empty, and if you run out of fuel you take the empty can to the nearest fuel stop and fill up there).

I was lucky to find one on eBay that was in new condition, and I kept the can when I traded in my BMW for another BMW, unfortunately my current car uses runflats and hence no spare wheel, so I just keep my jerry can in the garage.

> Your setting up this strawman where the argument is "improve roads" vs. "do nothing".

Your claim is this:

> Additional highways are at-best a stop-gap for day-to-day traffic, never a solution, due to induced demand

That claim is false and is not a straw man because you actually claim it.

Improving mass transit might work as an alternate solution, sometimes, in specific contexts.

That doesn't prove that adding more lanes wouldn't also work, and it's also not universally true.

A large fraction of the traffic on I-95 is trucks. How many semi truck drivers and their loads can you fit on a public bus?

Many highways are congested at a specific choke point. You could make a completely free thousand mile an hour bullet train to transport people from one side of the choke point to the other and solve nothing because people would get to the other side without a car and be unable to get the last ten miles to their destination. But once you get past the choke point, the traffic diverges in every direction and there is no longer enough density to justify a mass transit route.

Sometimes you just need a wider road.
It may not have been.

I disagree with this.

When people are vulnerable to something that doesn't mean they should have to go through it. There are many examples where it will make a human weaker in the end. There are also many examples where it will make a human stronger, but I think in his story it made him weaker because he lost 10 years that he otherwise presumably wouldn't have.

Not only did he lost 10 years, he lost 10 relatively foundational years (i.e. it's less bad to "lose 10 years" in your 60s to 70s compared to your 20s to 30s due to the compound interest effect that early "good years" have).
The original selling point of agile and scrum in particular was that developers will he motivated and happy.

And that quote pretty much describes conflict with reality that notion had.

I don't think that's true. Most people knew smoking was bad for you long before the medical establish said so, ditto for opiates.
