I think this speaks to the abject failure of US planning policies. Very few people realize just how highly constrained all land use is.

What you propose is, and was, illegal to build. The very good idea of allowing residential next to commercial space was anathema while the suburbs were being built, as was allowing residential buildings that allowed any destinations that one could walk to.

We have squandered a massive amount of our land by laying out residential property on winding roads with cul-de-sacs, intentionally blocking the possibility of walkable density ever developing.

This century, we are starting to realize that forcing car use for every single trip is really bad for our health and happiness.
Isn’t it 3,000 + 11,000 < 65 and 7,000 => 65?
Cycling out of the "door zone" is generally considered to be a good idea for obvious reasons.

However, in the UK at least, it can be extremely difficult to be conclusively far enough from all parked cars to ensure that someone flinging a door open won't hit you. Roads simply are not wide enough, and double parked streets of cars are ubiquitous, as are impatient cars who will harass cyclists trying to stay out of the door zones. On top of that, cycle lanes are often directly next to parked cars with little door zone allowance[1]. The bikes don't have to cycle in the lane, but if you don't, you may get punishment-passed by motor vehicles.

You also do not have to be going very fast to die in a dooring. Even leaving aside the effect of a metal and glass slab on a human face, car doors are actually extremely good at bouncing cyclists directly and rapidly into adjacent or oncoming traffic at almost any speed - even if the door hits the cyclist from the side by being opened as they pass.

It's also very unlikely that a bike injures someone exiting a car anyway, as opening the door and climbing out into the road are two very separate actions. If the bike doesn't see the door opening and someone getting as they approach, then it is indeed likely they were cycling unsafely. But that doesn't happen very often because that will also be very bad for the cyclist (as opposed to to car taking off a door and a person next to it, which doesn't injure the driver), and it would have been happening for the last 40 metres of the cyclist's approach.

It's also untrue that if you are driving down a narrow road with a single traffic lane and double parked cars (very common in UK urban areas) and someone flings a door open and you hit it that it's necessarily your fault. It's impossible to drive such that you could always stop in time, someone could even open the door while you're alongside when you're doing 1mph.

This is one of those things that only happen in anglo-like systems. In more "napoleonic" systems, the State has direct oversight of this sort of thing. In Italy or France, if a local authority tried to pull something like this, the police would literally step in and disband it a day after. You can have disputes on the legality of the election, or confusion about who should take the seat afterwards, but you can't just hold elections and then ignore the result.
>This is totally lost on me. Why? I don't see how any of the issues with UBI are accounting based.

So lets go back to what happens. Places like Switzerland or Germany have a labour participation rate of ~80%. So if you implemented UBI there. The 20% of people who were earning nothing or at most were on government services, now get a pay cheque. This will be by definition inflationary; but with such high labour rates and removal of those other services. The actual inflationary factor will be manageable. The probability of social movement increases obviously. So their participation rate near the beginning will drop.

The USA on the otherhand has about 60% participation rate and their government services are poor compared to the rest of the world. They in turn have made their military their welfare system. So if UBI implemented. Nearly have the country would be paying the other half of the country to sit at home.

What happened with covid? Less than 10% of people got cheques and we got >40% inflation eventually in the USA. So we can do the math. For a year or 2 of UBI at around 50% is more than 5x worse. So the USA would be looking at >200% inflation.

The army of accountants would be needed to make that 100x less.

>We already can spend money we don't have in the short term so nothing prevents transfer payments of any size in a purely logistical sense.

It's abundantly clear that isn't true. Hence the out of control every market and sky high inflation. That debt ceiling sure is hitting lots of heads lately for the USA.

>The issues with UBI are regressive redistribution, long term effects on the labor market, and long term effects on the currency. None of those are accounting issues.

Oh I completely agree those are concerns as well. The approach I have in mind is that if you manage it from the economic point of view, these longer term issues will be addressable at a later time. The entire welfare system would have to die. illegal immigration becomes far less of a problem. UBI would be only for citizens. The tax system could no longer be progressive.

UBI appears on face impractical or impossible. However, with said 'army of accountants' you could likely design something that works and possibly even beneficial. bviously a ton of work needed here.
That is true, but at least for the targets I've worked on it makes sense because the number of potential buyers is just very low.
Also called "being cunty", from a user perspective.
This is an idea that I found incredibly effective. I heard about it once, started doing it, and now I always do it, and I can always see if someone is coming.

When I ride my bike, I always try to stay out of the door zone, but sometimes I'm forced over by oncoming traffic in a tight street. Many streets just aren't wide enough to stay a safe distance away from oncoming traffic and also stay out of reach of doors.

(Bicycles are smaller than cars, but cars can safely pass much closer to other cars because the risk is lower — some paint and body work versus possible serious injury. Cars typically slow way down when encountering oncoming cars in a tight street, too, making it safer to get close, but they don't do that as often for cyclists. A final factor is that I think subconsciously drivers don't see the door zone as a dangerous place for cyclists, so they think they're giving you more space than they really are. All these factors mean that a street that feels narrow when I'm driving feels just as narrow and tricky, sometimes even more so, when I'm on my bike.)

EDIT: Another final thing that makes staying out of the door zone tricky is when there's parking right next to the bike lane! This seems like an utterly brainless design, maybe it's necessary in some places for reasons I don't understand, but it's horrible and the very existence of the bike lane makes drivers aggressive towards cyclists who aren't in it. I just avoid those streets, but when I can't, I ride in the bike lane and hope not to get doored.

> but as we all know now, that effect doesn't last very long.

What, precisely, do you think we know? The vaccines were tested against the first strain so it's not surprising that they lost effectiveness at preventing infection entirely against variants like Omicron with significantly greater immune evasion but even there we still see massive benefits against severe cases. The current performance of the mRNA vaccines against Omicron is still better than many people cautioned would considered a good result for the first iteration of a vaccine created for a new virus.
I don't think it's legal to open your car in the middle of the street either. The one time this happened to me was when someone jumped out of a taxi in the middle of the road without looking.
To be fair, just look what happened to Skype after Microsoft let a designer loose on it: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... They might have wanted to avoid that and just let their devs dump data into screens without a real design.

I'm not a big fan of what some designers deliver, but sitting down with maybe one or two users and seeing how they try to make sense of the mess that is AWS might have made sense.
>That’s the advantage of free markets

The large amounts of research done for and funded by the US government helps a lot too as do the various methods to give R&D tax advantages.
And let's not forget the idiotic "This site works better in App" crap that we get on our phones when browsing sites like Linkedin or reddit. No, I don't want to install yet another shitty app. Just let me browse the "net' on my phone directly.
Yeah, OP wasn’t clear on whether this is for equity or just pre-launch indications of interest from prospective customers. Would be helpful to clarify since most of the comments here so far have focused on equity implications.
Last place I worked (big company, not FAANG) I remember a PR for our main app that affected 500 files and occasionally dozens of places in some of them. All the reviews were "LGTM".

Cyclists are not surrounded by a metal cage so should not be held to the same rules. Where I'm from, the cyclist is (almost) never responsible.
My personal habit is to pop the latch for the door so the seal breaks, letting the door move maybe an inch. It's enough to create a very clear line around the door for anyone coming to see that the door is opening. And of course I then always look to see if someone is coming.

If we're teaching people in driving school a habit, the "Dutch reach" doesn't actually focus on looking to see if the way is clear. It might incidentally improve how many people look, but why be so passive about it? Just teach people to get in the habit of looking.
It depends what outputs you drive with your JS or Python code.
Note that those commits seem to have been added by an OBS contributor on top of Apple's patch. The fact they touch the entire build system, in a PR that is 100% macOS focused, is much more concerning than the commit messages.
That’s a fair point. I haven’t looked at their contributions, but it would be nice if they’d help out the project as a whole as well.

I also got a Linux preinstalled conputer, so I’m hoping (selfishly perhaps) that open source projects have great first rate open source OS support. It seems like open source is always resource strapped.

But you are right it’s not like IBM, SGI, Sun weren’t proprietary..
Sure; that was just the order I encountered these. I was also surprised that Linux' LVM was basically a clone of AIX' (whereas FBSD's vinum was a clone of Veritas).
Ok, let's say hypothetically it's not the salesperson's job to know everything about the device they're selling. I disagree, but let's assume this, anyway.

Why did the company not send an actual engineer to the trade show as well? I've done plenty of trade shows as a customer and there's almost always an engineer on-hand to assist with more technical questions and issues with the demo device.

Even assuming the prior claim, the company still screwed up not buying another plane ticket for an engineer.

The problem with law enforcement today is that they want their work cut out for them. Instead of doing the old school investigation stuff and THEN getting a subpoena, they instead want to have blanket access to all of our communications.
Instead of proving real espionage, they want to merely assert "suspect" links and then you're the one who have to prove you're innocent.
Instead of finding drug dealers and terrorists the old fashioned way, they want all of your bank transactions reported automatically for them, so they can sit on their chairs and deep learn their way into your data towards some flimsy accusation that they will use to pressure you into pledging your guilty to something.
Really, it is about time we raise our voices agains that. It is about time we say enough is enough. It is about time for us to say, the State serve its Citizens, and not the other way around.
Fuck this bureaucratic neo-feudalism.

Let us say no for this shit!

BASTILLE DAY

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart

There’s no bread let them eat cake \
There’s no end to what they’ll take \
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth \
Wash the salt into the earth \
But they’re marching to Bastille Day \
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize \
Free the dungeons of the innocent \
The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise \

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace \
Naked fear on every face \
See them bow their heads to die \
As we would bow as they rode by \

And we’re marching to Bastille Day \
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize \
Sing, o choirs of cacophony \
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise. \

Lessons taught, but never learned \
All around us anger burns \
Guide the future by the past \
Long ago the mould was cast \

For they marched up to Bastille Day \
La guillotine – claimed her bloody prize \
Hear the echoes of the centuries \
Power isn’t all that money buys \
People opening car doors without looking first, was one of the things that surprised me after moving to California. In the Netherlands, people are much more careful and make sure there is no bycicle crashing into your opened car door.

We have many more bikes in the Netherlands of course.
There was a case at Caltech with an Israeli national and I don’t recall that receiving nearly the same level of scrutiny. Instead the supervisor who got her work stolen got disciplined for putting a cat as a coauthor on one of her papers as a joke.
A friend of mine is a scientist in a relevant field, and has caught Chinese PhD students photographing documents in one case, and taking a video recording of a sensitive part of a laboratory in another case. In both cases, what they were recording was not related to their own work.

Not everything is published openly. Some research is kept quiet until the economic value has been realized, and sometimes the "what" is published but not so much the "how".
Twitter is unusable even with an account. It's 50% ads, 50% vitriol.
> No one does it as a fun hobby

Most people I’ve met doing anything like this for less than minimum wage are absolutely doing it for fun, or to help their communities.

If they sometimes assign the job to their friend Josh instead of the faceless general contractor 3 towns over, can you blame them?
I would counter by saying that entertainment is actually valuable. Gambling and playing games are things that people choose to spend their time and money doing because they are fun. (Obviously taking advantages of addiction is immoral, but that’s a whole other bag of worms).

As for optimizing trading algos, the counter is that making markets more efficient is also valuable to society at large, and that is what most quants would say they are doing.

As you pointed out in some other comments, there are certainly issues with the current system. Though, I don’t think the conclusion is for people to stop working entirely. If that were the case all of these “useless” jobs would go away and we would then ask farmers to give us food in exchange for nothing at all?

I think what might be better is offering more incentives for people to work in industries that make a real positive impact on the world. And in lieu of that, people who feel they aren’t contributing in a meaningful way can try to seek out more meaningful work. And we as a society should support *that*.

You’re describing use as an antiviral, comparable to paxlovid. I don’t think that is the proposed mechanism for this prophylactic ivermectin treatment.

If you have a reference you could share, that would be helpful.

> Ivermectin does inhibit the same protease that PF-07321332 does, but, as is the case for viral replication, it requires a concentration that is not achievable by oral dosing.

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/pfizer-new-covid-19-proteas...
This still demands investigation. The main issue is that the dosage known to be effective is higher than the dosage known to be safe. It could be that this consistent ongoing use regimen helped by increasing the tolerable concentration or boosting the effects or both.
This statement is false. The availability of third party appstores does not in any way affect the security of your parents devices. Just instruct them not to install other appstores.

And yes, time and again, fans of handcuffs are proving that they are willing to trade other people's freedoms for their own convenience.
No company even comes close to the transition that Reddit did that took them from a {clean,simple,dense,power-user friendly} interface to a horrible user-hostile shit show that it is now. The average Reddit user has to reach for a custom third party app on their phone or a browser plug-in that hacks a redirect to the old or third party interface. Quora doesn’t hold a candle.
NeXT also ran on 68k at the time.
I don’t think Apple should be forced to make changes to their own platform at behest of government orders. Today it’s forcing them to open up payment gateways, tomorrow it’s forcing them to put a police backdoor in iMessage. I don’t agree with the sentiment at all. And if I owned a company, I wouldn’t like to be forced by the government to make changes to MY software. It is completely antithetical to the notion of this being a free country.

My point with PinePhone is that if someone wants to make their own platform that uses a different payment processing system, they are free to do so, much like PinePhone has done.

This isn’t comparable to the railroad monopolies of the 1800s like these anti-trust laws were intended to effect. Because no one is forcing anybody to use Apple products. If you don’t like it, simply use something else. No one anywhere is being forced to use Apple products. The idea that the government should force Apple to make changes to its systems both sickens and disgusts me.
This really bugs me!

This "join twitter" thing on the scroll is not even the worst experiment in user hostility that they have done.

Much worse was the time that if you clicked a tweet, it displayed that tweet with the "join twitter" dialog box, and if you dismissed it, it just took you back to the original tweet using history hijacking.

That was just bizarre -- how do they expect to sell the idea of twitter to a non-logged-in user if they make one of the most basic actions (navigating to a shared tweet) impossible with deliberate user hostility?
It's about the EU mandated 2FA auth for online shopping.

E.g. with an credit card.

Due to the way it integrates into websites (or more specifically doesn't) classical approaches like SMS 2FA (insecure anyway) but also TOTP or FIDO2 do not work.

Instead a notification is send to a preconfigured app where you then confirm it.

Furthermore as the app and payment might be on the same device the app uses the fingerprint reader/(probably some Google TPM/secrets API idk.).

Theoretically other approaches should work, but practically they tend to not work reliable or at all in most situations.

Technically web based solutions could be possible by combining a FIDO stick with browser based push notifications, practicality they (Banks) bother or there are legal anoyences.
I realize the article is about the UK, but yes, people on the US open the doors into traffic because they never would consider a cyclist is approaching. Car is default, lanes are huge, and most drivers don't even imagine cycling for transportation.

Cycling infrastructure in the US is typically a painted line along the gutter or parking lane, if we're lucky to get that.

Because of that I'll often ride in the car lane even if there is a bike gutter, because it is so dangerous to ride next to people pulling in and out and opening their doors.

I dream of visiting the Netherlands or Copenhagen to cycle one day.

Great follow-up, and great idea! I never considered asking that type of question. To extend further, ask people when they used the wrong data structure, how did they notice, and how did they fix.
"Brightliners were made of stainless steel....but this worked against them underwater."

A similar look at Safari vs Chrome on Mac would reveal that Safari is much less secure than Chrome; given that many iOS exploits rely on WebKit, the average iPhone user is strictly less secure because of Apple's ban on fair browser engine competition.
