I'm looking for an accountability partner to meet with for 30 minutes once per week for the next few months over Zoom. I have a cert that I'm working towards completing and am procrastinating on. The way it goes is we schedule a weekly meeting where I tell you what I'm going to have completed by our next meeting, and then you do the same. At the next meeting we ask each other how that went and repeat. It's honest and transparent, but we don't judge or try to fix it. I'm available during North American hours.
Imagine how much fossil fuel and nuclear power will be needed to illuminate crops in until the skies clear. Any country without abundant access to energy will starve to death.
Why are they called "speed traps"? If you're driving over the speed limit and get a citation, it isn't a trap. This isn't like a sting operation for vehicle theft with a car left parked and running with keys in the ignition.

There are some states where it was found illegal to have someone slow down too fast, i.e. you can't have a 70 mph zone followed by a 30 mph zone. That would in fact constitute a speed trap of kinds, since no one can safely slow down 50 mph in an instant. The practical effect of this is 3 or 4 series of signs spaced exactly 100 ft or so, each one lowering the speed limit no more than 15 mph. It's the equivalent of a 'braking zone' on a race track, but on the street.
> 'A piece of data is valuable'

Nit: "Is" is singular because of "piece," not "data." As in, "the pieces of data are valuable."
It's hard for people to even mildly inconvenience themselves in the short term to benefit themselves in the long term. Think how hard it is to lose weight.
Thank you! However, this research does not seem to imply that researchers ONLY read the abstracts. When I do a search on Google Scholar, I may download 30 PDFs, for example. Then I would go through the abstracts and sort away those that: did not claim any empirical evaluation of their results, who did something way outside of the topic I am looking for, or did something I already know about well. But once I do that, I will read the remaining ones from start to finish. The papers you linked indeed seem to confirm that a lousy abstract increases the chances of your paper hitting the bin early but I would never allow myself to derive conclusions about the relevant papers just from the abstract. Related guide: https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee384m/Handouts/HowtoReadPape...

Edit: On top of that, the second study you linked talks about "Altmetric attention scores of the RAs were used to measure the online attention they received". This indicates to me that they studied public interest from the non-academics and not among the academics. Of course, articles submitted to the scientific journal are primarily aimed at the academics in that field. This abstract is an example of how I would bin the article without reading it because it seems to study something I am not interested in. But again, I would not dare comment on its results because I have not read it.
But it's not just that there isn't a cop watching, it's that if there was, he still won't pull you over unless you're going 10+ mph over (more where I'm from!). So the official speed limit isn't really the law. Most cops also won't get you for a rolling stop unless it's egregious.

Great question. The *WRT (OpenWRT primarily) communities are clearly the winning universe around this and we should take (with generous attribution) what we can from that world, but I've yet to see a real DIY hardware implementation. These Orbis are honestly very powerful individual routers, so I suspect there's a real thing around their hardware, but I bet DIY can find a way... what do you think?

Change 4-way stop signs for roundaubouts like most of the world. Not only does that increase throughput by allowing to yield they also increase safety by forcing a curve and avoiding frontal crashes. (Also, pedestrian crossings should and are normally set back a bit from the intersection, given some traffic calming like level crossings and a median island and have better visibility overall)

> it seems toxic to persuade someone to stay, because there reason to quit appears to be bad.

My comment is not meant to imply they should have stayed. The decision itself wasn’t toxic but a reflection of the toxic nature of the person who made the decision. The fact is that they were perfectly able to adequately do their job without codified power over the core team so this resignation was clearly not about being unable to do their job. They used a manipulation tactic to acquire power and their bluff was called.

> Just because finding a replacement is easy, doesn't mean they should do a job they don't like.

That conclusion wasn’t the intention of my comment either. The point is that they had a fundamental misunderstanding of their role in the organization and that came at a cost.
While not directly related to these magnetic strands, but regarding superstructure, compare with the latest 2.1 trillion body simulation of a universe formation, mapped as well as possible to the observed universe properties:

That's another kind of superstructure, the dark-matter-guided scaffold of galaxy formation in the observable universe volume.

That's about how I figure it. Even if you try to split the difference by living in the suburbs of NYC, my impression is that housing is still pretty expensive and you have a time-consuming commute.
Do we even produce much gas? Maybe we are, on paper at least, buying it from Russia and selling it to Germany or some such.
Sounds like just a general statement of opportunity cost. If you're disregarding all recruiters, and someone comes along with a possible job that fits with a $200k raise that you would normally disregard out of hand, and most of your average raises you find on your own are $50-75k when you switch jobs, spending time talking to the recruiter would likely be worth it.
Computer programming in general is akin to magic. It's literally in the realm of "say the magic words in the correct order, and things will happen".

Vast experience designing white label solutions.

Looking to join a fast-growing team.
I've been a TL, manager, and individual contributor.
Recruiters are welcomed. Email for LinkedIn.
I have a project that I've been noodling around for many years, never really making much progress (life is eventful, eh?) What I really need is your attention. I tend to lose motivation if I'm working in a vacuum. Please let me know you find this interesting or even inspiring.

I want to make large flying buildings.

- Large: several kilometers or even larger.

- Flying: they spend most or all of the time in the air.

- Buildings: containing people and infrastructure.

How do we make them? There are two areas to address:

- The methods of manufacturing them.

- The path from here & now to full production and deployment.

The last time this "Who wants to Collaborate?" thread went by (last month) a couple of people were interested, so I posted an old site talking about it to https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/ It still needs some clean up and updating. I also set up an IRC channel on libra.chat and have been hanging out there: irc://irc.libera.chat/#MagnusMotive

The basic idea is to make huge geodesic cellular kites with Magnus effect propulsion and lift.
https://phoenixbureau.github.io/MagnusMotive/Cellular-Fracta...

Two other aspects of the project would be good to mention here: First, the primary motivation is to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (and other ocean gyres) by collecting and reprocessing the plastic etc. that's floating out there. Second, I want to make and use extremely simple computers systems to control these robots (the cellular geodesic flying machines are made out of swarms of geodesic flying drones.)

I know this probably sounds crazy, but I've been over it and over it and I don't see anything insurmountable or even challenging. It's all off-the-shelf technology, and as time goes on hardware and software improvements make it easier all the time. One biggie is that I thought I would have to recruit an army of volunteers to drive the trash collector robots but now the recent advances in machine learning (et. al.) make that task (identifying trash) much much easier to scale up, eh?

Anyhow, to sum up:

Large flying buildings made from cellular swarm robots that assemble themselves into vast geodesic networks, collecting and recycling oceanic (and other) trash, using simple "provably correct" computer systems.

I guess we're headed towards yet another slice of future dystopia - where once we saw the opportunity for clean and efficient automated driving by the time it's here it'll have been so heavily influenced by current bad driving habits that they'll have to keep the bad traditions up, if not to be defensive against people but instead to be defensive around other older AI drivers that are still assuming bad habit.
The company may be new, but I guarantee you that it's the same old crowd of patent trolls. They will never give up until the patents are expired or certain East Texas judges retire.
> trouble keeping the lights on would make this much worse

I think the bigger problem would be trouble keeping phones charged and Internet/WiFi running. I seriously think that we are so addicted to our always-connected devices that losing them would be severely distressing for many/most people.
Bad analogy. When driving, there is no "Tower" with an overarching view of your situation.
I only read the specification. It covers every there is in XQuery

I agree. Although as someone who has been burnt before, I would not consider the position from a small company unless its a very senior and generous offer.
It’s amazing how confident people in this forum can be about things they have no insight into sometimes.

You may be right! But what’s your evidence for “NYT is into seeking rent”?

Does the Tesla know not to turn on red in Europe or is FSD not yet available? Also for example in Switzerland a driver is required to stop at a cross walk if a person is standing to cross or about to cross. This is not the case in Italy.
I used to be opposed to GPL at moral level have have since changed my mind on this. It makes sense for anything that is essentially infrastructure -- operating systems, web servers, software firewalls -- to be GPL: improvements at this level are rarely something which gives a specific company a competitive advantage. In the cases where it would, however, I like the idea of dual-licensing so that a GPL project (for example: Linux) could be combined with proprietary code without needing to publish the changes. Right now anyone thinking along those lines (Sony, Netflix, Juniper, etc) chooses FreeBSD. In the case of the companies who have chosen FreeBSD for proprietary use they have, in many cases, ended up contributing work back to the parent project if for no other reason than self-interest in making updates to the base OS easier as their custom code remains slim. If Linux had been offering this dual-license option I think the examples above would have chosen Linux and there would have been contributions back to the parent project that aren't there today.
Does anyone, recruiter or otherwise, want a screenful of auto-response text? I'd cut it down to 2-3 sentences and make it much more direct.

The trick to stopping Wall Street listing firms from their slice is NOT SPACs, but rather the “Dutch Auction” IPO method. Created by American Company WR Hambrecht - and popularized by American Company Google, the Dutch Auction IPO method allows online bidders to pre-emptively bid a stock’s price, which lets companies find an equilibrium for supply and demand that they believe investors will be happy about. This, in turn, allows IPOs to encounter less manipulation and allows them to dodge banking “flips”; where banks set the price, buy it low, and sell high in the future
Fun fact: last month, a contestant in the Brazilian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” was asked the million dollar^Wreais question: what is Bluetooth named after?

Spoiler alert: he chose not to answer and walked away with R$500k instead
How crazy would it be to create an alternative to Locast, but using P2P tech to stream volunteer antenna video data? I was thinking to encode it in mpeg4/HLS and use webtorrent to distribute the stream -- that way a non-profit org could reasonably set it up and not have to charge money for bandwidth costs.
Although a bunch of solar panels or wind turbines on the coast that are washed away by a tsunami isn't reliable either. Or when there's no wind or sun.

If it takes a tsunami to turn off a nuclear plant, it's about as reliable as it can be.
I think it happens to me because I mention that I'm dabbling in rust in my profile, and I guess that's a keyword they scrape for.
Sure did, still in active production use mostly for the excellent ZFS integration hosting many PB's of research data.
I've never paid anywhere close to that. Virtually no parking expenses, and I've had 3 reliable vehicles all have been around 12-15k and I've gotten 5-8 years out of them with a couple major repairs. Also the grocery store is very far away and dangerous to bike towards, and I would have to rig my bike for storage. American stores are also geared for bulk larger purchases and you save a substantial amount of money, and even if you for simple things like toilet paper or paper towels.
What are you favorites about it? I know they have great power:weight, but don't they have fundamental shortfalls in pollutants/emissions and (strangely, considering the weight advantage) fuel economy?

How would a Wankel that only had to do recharging (fixed gear, etc) serve in that fashion?

A scaled down rotary that was portable might be a good "oh shit I ran out of charge" portable recharger, but then again, a fuel cell might be better for that.
They're "valid" QR codes only in the sense that many QR scanner software only measure a small part of the middle of each square instead of averaging the brightness of the whole square.
today i approached a 4 way stop. the car to the left of me arrived later, as I was coming to a complete stop. well the driver to the left used a rolling stop and continued through the stop line. then he had the audacity to beep at me as he cut me off.
> Happy now?

Morale has improved, the beatings can stop.

You're right, and it's the same with jaywalking - it's usually only enforced or a fine or charge laid if the action causes a collision or harm.

In the example I gave there wasn't pedestrian crossing as part of the example, and in it you also stop at the light first. In your scenario it sounds like there are blind spots too, whereas I guess I left out some language, like the road was in a desert with full visibility everywhere. Of course, you need to always fully stop or be rolling slowly enough, say if you're making a right-hand turn at a red light [where legal], so that you can stop quickly enough if you see past the blind spot that traffic is coming.
I don't think we should program-in unsafe driving behaviours to accommodate road-ragers. As those self-driving features get more main-stream, this will just become more normal. And if road-ragers are still around, they should get fined.
If that’s what you’ve been doing, you’ve just been lucky. It’s not legal in CA.
And the dead tooth was used as an antenna to communicate with others when his energy levels were low?
It's not just the highway, I am frequently passed on roads of all kinds for following the speed limit and going no faster.

They are absolutely, for breaking the law, the nuisance in these situations. The number of people breaking the law does not change what the law is or, even necessarily, what the law should be.
If you want to go over the speed limit then don't use self driving.

If you increase the speed limit by 10mph, humans will just adjust up too.

I do agree that interstate speed laws need to be updated. The most dangerous spot I drive on an interstate is crossing a state line that drops from 70mph to 55mph. The slower zone is so dangerous because some people are then going 55mph and some still want to go 80mph.

I don't see how self driving can be anything other than the most perfect letter of the law driver though.
