Yes and no. Yes, we need them - probably - less than other countries do, but you never really know when you will need a helmet. When I was young and fearless I would cycle 10K+ per year without a helmet and never worry about it. Now on the e-bike and being a bit more aware of the fragility of life I wear one.

>The reality is that rewarding bad behavior and punishing good behavior

You are confusing a societal failure with a moral one: we have failed as a society by forcing those that pursue higher education to bear the entire cost of that education and we have failed to guarantee a role for those people in our society that pays well enough to pay off an inflated loan for that cost.

These are not individual moral failures. Everyone that is not able to pay off their student loans is not a bad person. Student loans are a bad system for educating people. They were introduced when higher education was desegregated and opened to women. When the white men at the reigns of the government no longer saw fit to fund public higher education for people that were not white men.

Running forever is pretty chaotic.
Exactly.

It's conditional.
Personally I go further and always wear a full-face helmet if I'm helmeting at all.

A childhood friend's father used to ride his road bike around the neighborhood and one evening he mistakenly rode into a construction pit where the barricades had been stolen by neighborhood kids. He face-planted into the asphalt on the far side when the front of his bike was abruptly swallowed by the pit. His cycling lid did absolutely no good for him, had his broken jaw wired shut, eating burgers through a straw for months.

Another friend more recently had his front end wash out crossing a slightly muddy intersection riding to the googleplex via skyline. At first he thought he only suffered some rash, until days later he noticed a horizontal crack in one of his canines. Tooth struck the asphalt in the chaos, turned into a year of implant surgery b.s.

The full-face cycling helmets are no less comfortable, and would probably have moved the needle in both of those scenarios despite being casual on-road accidents.
The definition of water written about in the bible could not include water vapor suspended in air because that concept was unknown to the authors and not among the major contemporary theories of matter. It is strange to use modern understandings to justify historical statements made without those modern understandings.
They did so until 1967.

$900/month – whether thats too little or too much entirely depends on the company's revenue/margins. I've seen companies that do not care about AWS spend. It makes close to zero difference to them and just thinking about the cost costs more. On the other spectrum, I've seen companies that move to bare metal servers. A couple of servers and that's all they need. $120/month from $2000/month and it mattered to them.

So yeah, what you're saying is sort of meaningless without understanding the business type/stage/revenue/costs.

Peace as in avoiding war? I would think Europe and the US are the safest countries to be in.
> There are certain things the answers to which goes beyond the bounds of the naive logic we are familiar with.

I don't think answering any of these questions are beyond the bounds of our abilities to inquire rationally, form explanations, improve those explanations through criticism, etc. It's true that there will be no "ultimate answer," because for any current best explanation we have about the origins or workings of the world we can ask the question "why is it that way rather than some other way?" And if we later develop an explanation that answers that question, we can ask the same question of that new explanation. That process will never end, but that doesn't mean any one instance of that question will be beyond our abilities.
YPG is a organization with plenty of Kurdisch nationalists in it. Just like any extremist, whatever an extremist claims needs to be filtered and fact checked, and then taken with a pinch of salt.
I have mixed feelings too... SNS/SQS are awesome.

But if you end up with micro services, your tests won't cover the integration of the entire system.
Thanks for that. So what I'm gathering is that they do exist, but the number is absolutely tiny.
The best defense is a good offense - start lobbying to break-up incumbent ISPs, and force them to share cables, ideally owned by an independent spinoff company. If they want to hurt municipal broadband, hurt them back.
I do wear glasses! And I think you're onto something. I just switched to my backup pair and the effect is much less pronounced. So it must be something to do with my glasses.

Before I got an M1 laptop, this was a real issue for me. Now, it really doesn't matter. My battery will easily last the entire time I am in the cafe without really thinking about it.
This is already in place for IOT networks like Thread, but it’s only practical at very low bandwidth and where the routing devices are connected to a power source.

I, for one, would not appreciate someone burning through my battery to stream Netflix…
> In the long run, the motorcycle will likely cost more than the bike, considering gas, insurance, and maintenance expenses.

Gas cost is nominal - premium, $6/gallon and 130mpg with a 1 gal tank.

Insurance is equally nominal - $20/month for single motorcycle for a clean record driver in their late 20s/30s with more than minimum coverage

Maintenance - a wash. Bikes are cheap/easy to maintain yourself and are more complicated in their E versions I'd imagine.

I think forcing the Dutch to wear helmets is like forcing Americans to give up the second amendment. It’s completely rational but you’ll get a crapload of resistance. Edit: for myself I would not mind if we made it mandatory but we would need to adjust our infrastructure for the helmets. Where do you keep them when you’re stowing your bike when you hop on the train?
Prior to the war, this is not entirely true other than exceptional cases.

Now, it's very true, and will be forever. This is what happens when thousands of Russians invade your country, rape, murder, steal, destroy, and act like barbarians. I anticipate no forgiveness, and Russians will be unwelcome in Ukraine for a very long time.

(IMHO, this is more than justified)

Can’t really really put my finger on it – it’s more like a gut feeling. Something along the line of “in the past, every scarcity was temporary, because we could always fossil-fuel-burn ourselves out of the problem – but this time we can’t.”

No. As a manager I embrace process that aids my team in achieving our goals, and eschew process that hinders it. For me the process is a means to an end.

I meet lots of bureaucrats who literally only care that the processes they oversee are carried out. For them the process is the goal.

A couple thoughts:

As President, no matter what you do, somebody benefits. Also, somebody will be willing to pay you six figures for speaking fees. Sometimes those parties are the same.

Presidents have no business accepting speaking fees from anyone. They receive a lifetime pension and various other benefits worth millions of dollars after leaving office. Even if these fees were accepted in good faith, they still have the appearance of corruption, which undermines public confidence in the political system, and cannot but instill in the corrupt the belief that for corrupt acts in office they stand to gain tremendously. My understanding is that the presidential pension was created to avoid the embarrassment of a destitute former president, specifically Harry Truman. Harry Truman conveniently had an opinion on the subject:

No young man should go into politics if he wants to get rich or if he expects an adequate reward for his services. An honest public servant can't become rich in politics. He can only attain greatness and satisfaction by service.

Further, Jimmy Carter rarely accepts speaking fees, and when he does he donates them to charity.

I guess I just subscribe to Hanlon's Razor on this one. I think he should have advocate[d] for single payer, but I think it was a strategic error, and not a selfish manipulation of the system.

This is certainly not dispositive, but I wonder what you think about Obama’s extraordinary intervention in the 2020 democratic primary. Right before Super Tuesday he worked (successfully) to convince Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar to drop out, endorse Biden, and exhort their supporters to vote for Biden over Sanders. If Obama was so convinced of the need to reform the medical insurance system that he made doing so his highest legislative priority, and if he did believe that in theory a single payer system was preferable to the ACA, but made as you say, a strategic error in not at least advocating for it initially, then isn’t it somewhat curious that he would work so hard to ensure that Sanders, who was the only candidate who plausibly would have attempted to pass a single payer system, lost, and Biden, who not only did not support a single payer system, but said that if by some miracle it came across his desk he would veto it, won?
I am not super-familiar with jsonata, so someone else can probably comment better here. That said, I think the biggest difference is Jsonata is really oriented towards querying, as evidenced by it's xpath oriented syntax. DTL can do querying, but it's really made for data transformation, as evidenced by it's more JSON oriented syntax.

I also think DTL is significantly more approachable and familiar and therefore easy to learn and make use of. (I think xpath is terribly obtuse and unintuitive, personally) DTL is also made to be self-contained. A single entrypoint in your javascript code, `DTL->apply_transform()' can process any transform you can create.

DTL is extremely powerful, but it's deceptively simple, and you only need to learn as much as you need for the task at hand. It has no real special syntax you haven't encountered before, and it has no special modes. It has the capability to do things like map / reduce / grouping, etc. But it accomplishes this in a very functional-form, requiring no special syntax beyond what you would already use to get a string length, for example. DTL also has a number of builtins that are very helpful when remapping data that you would otherwise have to implement yourself. And the entirety of any DTL transform can go wherever you can put a JSON block, including in your db or a config file, which makes it significantly easier to make use of in your projects.

DTL also has a very sophisticated CLI tool, allowing you to make direct use of it without writing any code whatsoever, so you can start working with your data immediately, without having to learn much at all. DTL also has a great REPL that lets you play with the syntax, complete with full help within the REPL.

In a general sense, DTL predates Jsonata by several years (originally created in 2012) and has been in use that entire time, though I only published to npm a little over a year ago.

SO.. TL;DR:

* Made for transforming complex data in and out, not just querying

* Much easier to use and more familiar

* Really useful builtin functions

* more approachable, use as much or as little as you need

* Embeddable

* Great CLI tools

But, to be fair, I am a little biased. ;)
Based on your skills I would highly recommend Python and some JavaScript.

Python being the main language to focus on because it's great for working with data and general scripting needs (working with files, etc). For data everything from basic data access to a lot of math and statistics that you would find in R.

I would recommend some JavaScript so that you have the ability to easily read it and because I feel that when you learn multiple languages it improved your skills overall for each language. Doesn't have to be long - perhaps a few days of focused learning (or even a day or less).

Recently I have been working on something related to using a lot statistics, analytics, etc and have been using Python the most for it and actually some SQL as all major databases now support Percent Rank and other statistical functions. For my project I'm using JavaScript a little for work such as Web Scraping but most work is done in Python and then final reporting is SQL.

Python is also great for Machine Learning. Even for basic API access with TensorFlow I prefer using Python over there JavaScript API.

Good luck with your new career!
This is is true of Canada too.
I think YDB's architecture is more like TiDB
> "Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

This passage is simply saying there was no human agriculture on the earth, because rain as we know did not exist, and there were no humans to do the work.

> 8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

Generally plants were existing, but this passage is saying that just prior to forming man, a special garden was planted for them to start with. In effect God was starting an agricultural project to hand over the the first man, for them to dominate the flora with time.

> And then the first woman is formed from the rib of the first man.

What is impossible about that?

> Not to mention earth existing before the stars. Before even light!

Nowhere does Genesis say or imply that
I grew up on a farm in the US Midwest. When I was 4 (early 1970s), I was given my chores of watering livestock. I also started bottle feeding my first orphan lambs, and started getting other orphans from neighbors. It became quite an income stream.

When I was 5, I started driving an older tractor. When I was 6, we were fixing
a pasture fence when my dad told me to go drive the pickup the 50 yards or so to
where we were at. He verbally walked me through it, and let me go get it. I remember that moment like it was yesterday.

And that was not a unique experience, for farm kids at least.

Now, parents would be criminally charged with something.
At the end of 2021 Facebook announced they would begin to use more AWS services [0]. Now, I wouldn’t call it Facebook going full cloud and I definitely expect FB to continue to use on-prem for the majority of their compute/storage; but I think it’s worthwhile to note that even FB (which may be one of the largest private clouds) sees value in using cloud providers to supplement their on-prem solutions.

When I was a kid, people would leave the engine running on the car with the keys on, while they popped in the convenience store to buy a quick item.

We used to leave the doors and windows wide open at home while taking a nap, to "air the house".

Different times.
I once interviewed for a software position at a risky looking small company, and I asked the CEO/owner if the books were available for me to verify their 1-5 year outlook before I moved my family across the country for the job. He looked totally shocked and gave a weirdly cagey “no”. I learned long after the fact that at first he was mortified and then later had a “wow who does he think he is” chuckle with the HR lady about me.

They ended up making a barely acceptable offer because despite my horrible faux pas, I was a domain expert and they couldn’t keep staff for more than a year. And I accepted because I was 1 month away from being bankrupt and homeless. Lasted a year and a half. The business turned out to be solid but I left for greener pastures.

I have no idea why owners are so cagey about the health of their businesses and funding sources, to potential employees. Especially when things are basically fine! He was bootstrapped and evidently had fine cash flow. Why is this a faux pas to ask? HN is full of entrepreneurs: why are you so offended when a candidate asks about cash flow or to see the cap table?
>>>What I DO have concerns about, however, is overzealous adults who see a kid playing alone at a park and decide to call the police or child protective services.

Ding ding ding! This is exactly it. I'm not worried about my 6-year-old walking around the neighbourhood alone, or staying in the car (in proper weather) while I do an errand, or going into a store and grabbing something. I'm not worried about kidnapping and murder and all that stuff, since it's so vanishingly rare that it's worth worrying about as much as lightning.

What I am worried about is some busybody calling CPS because they think kids are stolen and sold if they're left unsupervised for 5 minutes.
i read the article.

the point im making is that the federal government enacted forgiveness for its employees only 2 years after the 2005 reform to make discharging student loans impossible.

That's a good point. I tried a full face but I find that if I have to choose between wearing a full face helmet or taking the car for any length trip that I'll end up taking the car. But your comment makes me reconsider, especially given that every third 130 km trip I have a 'near miss' of sorts, either some animal or a pedestrian or another cyclist making an expected move. So far so good (good brakes), but statistically speaking that probably won't last. So thanks!
I'd like to see the inverse of this -- if founders treated employees like they treat investors.

There's a name for this in theology but I forget it now. It's the reasoning behind praying for people in the past. Not their souls now, but their actual living selves in the past. I think the idea is that timeless god will hear your prayers from the future and may be influenced by them backwards in time. idk I'm not a theologian.
I have a domain that is all digits. It passes validations in 99% of web forms, but email silently fails to deliver in about 10% of cases. So there is a great disconnect between web form validations and actual mail sender validations.
Scientific inquiry requires objective proof OF EXISTANCE. We know that humans can be deceived, both by themselves and others.

You might be asking for scientific proof of non-existance, but that cannot be provided for pretty much anything. For instance, you cannot (yet) prove that there is NOT a teapot orbiting at the same distance from the sun as Pluto.

By claiming we need to disprove God, you are missing the point. You're being asked to PROVE God.

Much of religion is desirable (godlike friendly entities, everlasting life, real justice). However we have no evidence any of it is true. I wish some of it was. Wrath of god, less desirable.
Exactly, which is why I call it bidirectional partitioning: one forward, one backward. It's a very strange case where you can use parallelism (in this case instruction-level parallelism), but only get two independent instances without the ability to recurse further.

You can of course make partitioning embarrassingly parallel, look at IPS4o for that. But it is vastly more complicated, and involves overhead shuffling blocks after the partition.
In one word: Tribalism.
Could be, but the comment in the robots.txt file in that case is... enigmatic.
JWT is just a container for authenticated data. it's comparable to the ASN.1 encoding of an x509 certificate, not to the entire x509 public key infrastructure.

You could compare x509 with revocation to something like oauth with JWT access tokens, though.

In that case, x509 certificates are typically expensive to renew and have lifetimes measured in years. Revocation involves clients checking a revocation service. JWT access tokens are cheap to renew and have lifetimes measured in minutes. Revocation involves denying a refresh token when the access token needs renewing. Clients can also choose to renew access tokens much more frequently if a 'revocation server' experience is desirable.

Given the spotty history of CRLDP reliability, I think oauth+JWT are doing very well in comparison. I'm pretty damn confident that when I revoke an application in Google or similar it will lose access very quickly.
It's a faulty comparison: If you drove only in city traffic, your costs per mile would be at double or more. A few hours at highway speed is low-cost.

Cost per city journey, including parking, would be a more enlightening comparison. And if you substituted an e-bike for those journeys your car costs per mile would drop.
