I agree that paint alone is not bicycle infrastructure.

But, when comparing paint with paint, this will slow drivers down more than the standard divided two car lane two way road they are accustomed to, due to the single center motorized lane that you pointed out.

As a commenter from the Netherlands pointed out somewhere else on this post, this paint only approach is supposed to just be one cost effective tool for very low throughout roads, the lower end of a panoply of system-level methods to design separation between ped, cycle, and car velocities, part of a system that first prioritizes proper cycleways over paint-only methods.

Unfortunately in North America we really have to crawl before we can walk on this one.

I don't think we have a close enough black hole for this to be true for anyone reading this right now.
I’m not sure how to take this comment. I understand it’s probably coming from a good place but when has a vitamin deficiency ever been linked to obsessive tendencies? On its face, this comment was ripped right from Nextdoor or Facebook.

There's a paradox in there. My suggestion would be to explore that.
Ask HN: Which websites have good and efficient design?
I'm looking to improve my website's design and I'd love to get some inspiration from you. I'd like to avoid a website where the code looks like <div class='435e3h e5o85 ps3f88'> if you know what I mean. I'm looking for websites that are efficient, clear to navigate and do not scream "I am a startup, please buy my product". The hackernews website is a great example, albeit not appealing to the non-savvy users. Which websites should I look at ?
fair enough, but in the same way that conventional systems are only 'secure and encrypted up until the point of being beaten with a wrench'
Back then there was no notion of what a game was and who is it for. Nowadays people making games grew up with them. Ultra-specialized, fans of the medium they work on. Diversity is more expected early on

As long as there are stressed and/or gullible people, there is an avenue for these "smart scams".

I distinctly remember getting junk spam physical mail as a kid, saying if you send back $60 dollars they will share the method to work from home / easy money scheme. It feeds on desperation and stress to hinder rational decision making skills.

We also have things like the lottery where people buy in to the idea theres a infintismely small chance to actually win but the emotional side of the brain takes over and ignores it.
Maybe I misunderstood but pretty sure they’re saying the Reason article got it wrong. I’d like to hear why, and I’m likely to be sympathetic to an opposing view.

For example, I disagree with Reason that we should loosen FDA rules on something as critical as baby formula, but lowering tariffs on imports doesn’t seem like a terrible idea. On the other side, I think tariffs play an important role in protecting domestic industry that are vital to national security. So we don’t want Abbott to get shut down, but they do need to be severely punished.
If Ukraine was our ally we'd have boots on the ground. This war is in no small part about keeping them from actually becoming our ally.
In 1999, Brown University which had only used 863- added the 867- exchange. A suite of students got 5309 and kept getting calls asking for “Jenny” at all hours. They stopped assigning that number.

Ultimately a Rhode Island plumbing co, Gem Plumbing, bought it from Brown and used it in their ads.

Does "Europe" have an abundant surplus of infant formula that they are prepared to export? A lot more mothers breast-feed in Europe, formula feeding is rather uncommon so why would one expect that inventory is available to send somewhere else?

And then you have the mother in Tennessee who gets a can of German-labeled formula powder, with mixing instructions in metric. Is she going to add the correct amount of water? Or are we going to re-label it? Who does that? Who checks it? How long will it take?

I don't think this is the simple answer it appears to be.
Unbelievable how someone can be this cruel
Ever started a company and stuck with it for a long while? Yeah - founders without funding are VERY different than early employees, do not kid yourself.

Early employees go out and get a job; founders live through hell, making their lives very difficult to get to where they can hire. I know of many that went from tech salaries to living below poverty for years to make things work. [at least for those not funded in the valley]
History put us in a pretty unique position anyway, right? The list of advanced economies not blown up in WWII is pretty short, which gave us a nice lead, and probably kicked off some feedback loops.
There is a difference between [advocating against bad laws that promote abuse or favor interests or hamper innovation] and [advocating for no copyright laws whatsoever]. I think we're somewhat talking past each other here.

I have no idea what a good copyright law is, but assuming that one can be crafted, I think it would be totally reasonable for said law to be implemented.

From first principles, it still seems like a publisher should have a reasonable right to protect their content from theft.

Do people find this uncomfortable? I usually leave it at 78 during the day, 74 at night. I will sometimes turn it down if I'm doing something physical outside on a hot day and I want to come back to somewhere cool.

Not trying to save money or anything. Genuinely 78 + ceiling fan on low is most comfortable for me. Maybe it's the low humidity?

Man I always want to read about this stuff but it always comes across super dull. I really think the standard Computer Science curriculum needs to focus more on writing. Seems to me that if programming is mostly about communication we should focus more on learning to write in a more engaging style.
The Earth gets bigger as well, and by the same mass per photon, when it absorbs light.

It loses this mass through radiation, but then, so does a black hole. That's fancy Proper Noun Hawking Radiation, but radiation it remains.

Not trying to be a downer, I find the fact that a photon doesn't /have/ mass but still /is/ mass endlessly fascinating.

It’s also funny that the thread talking about how this problem results from one monopolistic factory/company is so much further down the front page compared to the one blaming government regulation
Our you have this belief that companies are started mostly by people with money.

A high number of the founders I know were all broke as heck to get to company success with no personal or family money.
The FDA has been trying to kill us for over two years now. At the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic, recall how they wouldn't allow anyone to do their own testing - the only test allowed was a known-broken test from the CDC. More recently they dragged their feet for purely political reasons on approval of Paxlovid. And still going on now is the approval of vaccinations for small children, where their reasoning for holding approval has nothing to do with safety or efficacy, but something stupid about causing confusion when a second vaccine hasn't yet been approved.

The FDA has demonstrated that their only concern is avoiding down-side risk, and are completely incapable of evaluating up-side risk: what's the danger to the American public of NOT having access to a given treatment.

This agency seems beyond reform. It needs to be gutted and completely redesigned from the ground up.
Which drivers? Lorry drivers? Race car drivers? Soccer moms? Commuters? Motorcyclists? Regular cyclists? Jockeys? Draft-horse drivers?

I grant you that it certainly is a criterion for optimization, but I would call it important only for race tracks, not public roads.
Your problem doesn't lie in to what you're currently addicted to but the addiction and obessiveness as a whole. I have the same problem and when I stop myself from consuming something it just turns out that I have switched it with something else. I've been able to stop drinking, smoking, etc. but I've found other alternative sources of addiction in their place. I don't know how to solve the problem of addiction as a whole yet but you should focus on that in my opinion.

Uh... I have a less rosy picture of the situation.

To brain drain Canadian talent, US companies used to need to convince people to physically move to a different country, a rather tall order, but even then people were leaving in droves.

Now, they can brain drain Canadian talent with practically 0 barriers through remote work.

Unless Canadian employers are willing and able to adapt quickly and start offering truly globally competitive salaries (and historically they have proven to be utterly incapable of this), I think this is game over.
>One advantage of pushing the computing on the user-side is that it reduces the load on the server:

But we don't need complicated frameworks on the server, keeping track of changes in a shadow DOM and updating the real DOM afterwards.

The server will likely just use some html templates in which it will replace some variables with strings and numbers. Easy peasy, both for the server and for the developer.
Although, if it's more of a buffer in the supply chain instead of a strategic reserve, the waste doesn't have to be that great.

Which takes us right back to JIT vs JIC.

Perhaps sensible regulation on just how lean manufacturing may be in critical industries. (It's a race to the bottom, so re-define the bottom & let the market re-optimize)
I think Kotlin went the easy way with extension methods. Scala’s solution is much more elegant with implicits (especially now with Scala 3).
You ever stop to consider that maybe you’re the problem, and it actually has very little to do with your ideology
There are limits. If you sign up for a desk job in LA with no mention of travel and then get shuffled every day to Chicago, NYC, ... then it's unlikely the courts would agree that it was a termination with cause if the employee refused to cooperate. Here the courts might find that a month is insufficient notice, they might find that since the job started in the office there was always a reasonable expectation that the employees would have to return to the office, there might be jurisdictional questions, and who knows what else. Without a lot more details I'd hesitate to speculate as to the legal outcome in this case.
Uhm.... if you call yourself "whitehat jr"... I auto dont trust you.
Do you always plan for the worst case? If this is true, could you simply take your money and go back to your home country and still reasonably live there?

I don't always plan for the worst case, I tend to be optimistic, and if something bad comes up, i improvise.

Also if you are a family and your spouse works, this is some sort of hedging for the scenario you mentioned.
I made some comments on another thread here on HN about the Infant Formula Shortage, and how the individuals strains of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria from the unfortunately deceased infants did not match the strains of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria found at the food production facility, did not match each other, but, the baby food production facility was shut down anyways.

EDITED.

Strictly speaking, one doesn't preclude the other.

Sure, there could be other reasons this can't be "the saddest" such story, but just being common doesn't logically seem to be one.
Perhaps the parental leave policies in the United States need to account for this, then? There's no social security net that will allow babies to be breastfed in the majority of all cases, so we shouldn't be surprised that parents choose formula.
As with all things, depends on where you live.

IANAL - but for example, in canada, forcing employees to move,or even significantly increase their commute, is considered the same as unilaterally changing the employees pay, and cant be done without the employees consent.
I humbly accept the critic. :)
> ITT: People who've never done any research on this issue making very American conclusions.

Skimming the other posts here, people are drawing American conclusions on how drivers would behave. And can you blame them? Drivers have gotten away with slaps on the wrists for killing cyclists and pedestrians for too long in America. [0]
These edge lane roads only work if drivers believe that cyclists also belong on the road. But that isn't the case in America.

Unless the States start punishing distracted driving, and enforce stricter licensing requirements, we'll continue to rely on urban planners to protect other road users with infrastructure against idiocy.

Let me give you another perspective: you messed this one up. In multiple ways. Maybe the HR person wasn't great or professional, but you did a wide range of things that sort of demonstrated that the company might not have been a good fit for you. I'm trying to say this in the nicest way, but I see multiple red flags that would get you exited from interviews at a wide range of professional companies, and strongly suggest you revisit how you approach these sorts of situations.
Is that true in India?
> why does the government, federal or local not have a stockpile of well... the stuff you feed infant children with?

Isn't infant formula a solution to a problem that is in large part created by infant formula manufacturers?
If baby formula is vital to national security, can you name anything that isn't also vital?
> down in value, even pointless things like baseball cards

Baseball cards that have any value aren't pointless. They are kind of historical artifact, and are traded like artifacts or antiques. They have value as long as enough people place value on baseball history.

Newly created baseball cards are effectively worthless, and a vanishingly small percentage will ever have any value.

Crypto has no cultural value like that. There is no sentimental value attached to it.

Eventually in the future when nobody cares about it remembers what baseball is, the cards will have no value, but the fact is that value today comes from both their scarcity and the ownership of a piece of history.
There is, though I believe improvements in the discovery of such content would definitely be welcome.

I can see this. I'm supposed to retire around 2050. The idea that there will be any kind of major society seems remote to me.

Aside from the hundreds of millions of refugees, it will simply be impossible to grow much food at scale. Constant wildfires, floods, torrential downpours, drought, and no insects. Also, the aquifers, e.g. the Ogallala will be mostly gone. Also the what's left of the topsoil will be gone. What's left of the Amazon will be mostly gone the rest turned to savanna. Also most of the fish will be gone.

Maybe if we say "net zero" enough times, tens of billions of tonnes of emissions will get sucked directly out of the atmosphere and stored somewhere. Maybe Elon Musk can save us.
In Germany, as an existing customer, you have negative rates with many banks.

You also don’t switch banks on a whim. Not only because it’s a hassle to change your payment info on dozens of sites, but also because you’re going to be punished by SCHUFA, a corporate abomination that has a monopoly on credit ratings. Their algorithms try to infer financial responsibility from
how many bank accounts you have (fewer is better), and from how often you open new bank accounts (rarely is better). Once it decides to punish you for shopping around, its effects are devastating.
Its easy and it starts with language.

For me it's not shocking that any one person can be this cruel. What's difficult to process is how entire social structures and institutions can be this cruel.
Yeah, I think some people/groups like Reason often see government as mostly ineffective and then say we should give them less money, which can make them more ineffective, and then they say they're even more ineffective so we should give less money, so on and so forth. I was reading elsewhere that stronger FDA regulation and enforcement could help fix issues like this one with the baby formula yet many libertarian perspectives don't seem to want to give more power to the government. I don't know.
>my blood work is starting to approach the higher ends of what is considered ok.

Your blood work is showing you are healthy. It doesn't sound like there's any need to change your diet.
MQL is an improvement over the internal language, IMO. There are some missing features around literal tables, but otherwise the language is more consistent and flexible.
The revealing junk of abandoned Soviet nuclear bases
Ours is still the biggest decline. You're also missing the US which is a different story altogether... But even conceding that point, then compare to housing costs:

https://data.oecd.org/chart/6Ikm

And consider that housing costs for a desirable Canadian location (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa) are much higher than that chart. And that the middle of nowhere in any of those European countries is still liveable whereas the middle of nowhere in Canada potentially means thousands of KMs away.

And that's not touching on other COL metrics where Canada is uniquely bad.
For bad actors, an extra careful review is still going to result in account termination. So, for them, the bonds buy virtually no protection, but it does tie up real money. How many bad actors are going to prefer to loan Google $100 per active account rather than $0 per active account?
Certainly, since this would be the first food Americans have ever imported from Europe, there is no framework for Imperialization of nutrition labels, since no one has ever done it before in the history of ever. Congratulations you found a show-stopper!
Can you elaborate on this? I've always been surprised at how many families use formula. Do mothers just not breastfeed much anymore?
According to the article they only have offices in India. I don't think welfare is that great there anyway. Nor worker protection laws.
Very handy!

What might be nice is a quick way to delete stuff if you accidentally send something sensitive to a public instance.
I was wondering the same. I find up to 30C (86F) inside quite tolerable. Granted I know it doesn't stay that warm very long in my apartment, just the height of the summer.

Indeed, I've taught myself to only use JOIN when I actually need some data from the table I join. For everything else I use EXISTS and friends.

I was thinking SQL could do with a keyword for that, like maybe FILTER, that looks like a JOIN but works like EXISTS.
I'm not sure why you think that matters? Even if its not directly causal, the plants should not have bacteria of that sort.
What I'm saying is that this:

if (typeof obj === 'string') {
// obj is a string
}

is really not anything meaningfully different than this

if (obj is string as obj) { // as in C#
// obj is a string (shadowing the outer scoped obj)
}

or this

if (obj instanceof String obj) {
// obj is a String here
}

you can imagine a pseudo TypeScript language like this

if (typeof obj === 'string' as obj) {
// obj is a string
}

Actual TypeScript merely allows you to elide the "as obj" and all it needs to trigger this is the "typeof obj === <string literal>" inside of an if expression. This can be done by a simple syntactic replacement, it doesn't require control flow analysis to get this specific feature.
But yes, if you have a more general computed expression, that would apply, but that was not the case you were stating.
Ie the variable isn't the issue (redefining in this case seems like a distinction without a difference)... However this does work in TS, which is a demonstration of CFA:

const isStr = typeof obj === "string";

if (isStr) {
// obj is str
}

For what it's worth I think CFA is useful in TypeScript based on it at its core being a structural typed bandaid over JS, but I think these specific CFA type narrowing features are redundant in stronger typed languages.
I’m on my phone, but the text feels too compact. The paragraphs would look better with bigger margins.

Also, the top feels like a logo, navbar, and a hero all in one. I would work on it more as a logo and lose the “Welcome to” since the next sentence also functions as a greeting.

The green dot is an interesting touch, but presently looks like a status indicator/green light, that, on a black background, attracts the eye more than the content and the sign-up button.
On the other hand I’m in Texas and after passing the open carry we’ve seen a huge rise in gun violence related to road rage. The H‑E‑B grocery store near me had murder happen because someone ‘stole’ the parking of an angry person with a gun.
