Have friends that have been saved multiple times from serious head injury by their helmet. Cases of streetcar tracks and car doors opening on them unexpectedly, no extra risk taking happening there.

This approach is not right, the fact the bike is larger helps a bit but does not stop the driver or riders from being thrown from the bike.

The additional risk taking factor should be curbed through other means. Removing the helmet is not the right approach.

Thanks for the summary. His choice to film this walking around with the camera rolling and pitching like a ship on the high seas made it unwatchable for me. I felt the same way about the article, the author seemed to try as hard as he could to find fault with the whole process.
Thompson actually had quite diverse interests, ranging far abroad from politics.
There is none, the “risk compensation” theory is a myth invented by Sam Peltzman without any evidence for the phenomenon (but as a good member of the Chicago school of Economics, his goal wasn't to make scientific discovery backed by facts, but to create a narrative against state regulations of any kind)
The deal is too good. They need to raise prices at some point. This company is making $3 per year per user lol.
But still, its pretty miraculous.
I wonder what the largest negative impact from this kind of thought has been.

My guess is it is going to be related to PrEP and HIV rates. PrEP is extremely effective and yet stigmatized due to the worry that it will decrease condom wearing.
I've been fortunate in finding a remodeling contractor that hires people who know what they are doing and pays them minimum of $30/hr and is insured/licensed. So far most of them have done excellent work. Some are purely carpenters, some are mostly painters, some have multiple skills. I talk with them and most could work for large construction companies building hotels and apartments (lots of that going on here) but prefer working 40 hr weeks working on people's homes. The carpenter (now retired) did a bunch of work in my house and was amazing to watch.
I first read your comment, then the article. And I simply cannot match the two. Ok so maybe the didn't immediately show their ticket. You think this warrants almost killing someone? ridiculous.
I wear a full-face helmet on a mountain bike, too.

My point is that when mountain biking, you encounter varied terrain and obstacles and you decide how to approach that based on your skill and experience. Some approaches are riskier than others. And sometimes you decide the best thing to do is just nope out and ride or walk around whatever it is.
Comments like this do not make HN a better place. If you think helmets are a safety hazard, please make your case rather than mocking the OP.
Late responding, though the conclusion I always seem to reach regarding piracy is that it should be frowned upon as a society with the caveat that it not be illegal, and that it being some version of legal or tolerated sufficiently to act as a counterbalance to a potential system out of balance: 1) if platform providers suck (which maybe includes a lack of interoperability, e.g. walled gardens for only Disney content), and/or 2) content providers are trying to extract too much value from society - which balances with how wealthy society is on average - then if you can only afford shelter/food and other necessities for a minimal acceptable quality of life (including whatever telecommunications and entertainment or education access is arguably necessary for enjoyment of life including being able to have interests to talk about with people, which may be movies or series you pirate because government policy has structured society to suffocate the individual or not help them adequately - arguably driven by industrial complexes capturing our political systems and influencing to dictating policy that helps them at cost of the individual), etc...

If 100% of people pirate and no money is going to funding creativity then something is likely incredibly wrong with our systems' designs and society, but at least if piracy is not illegal then authoritarian control and punishment can't be a violent-force tool to extract value that sovereign individuals decide isn't worth it to them compared to their other costs; this then would arguably cause all parties, all industries, to align to make sure the foundation - the floor - of society is solid and generating/producing [in sustainable way] to extract some value to then reinvest to generate more ROI for society; there are some more recent theories regarding a Universal Basic Income that the ROI from the UBI will actually [at least eventually] pay for the cost of the UBI itself.

TL;DR - Piracy is a useful and valuable mechanism to keep a competitive greed driven for-profit industry in check.
Not at all. Seatbelts are a legal requirement, helmets are not. This is employees wearing body amour, which is seen as either encouraging risk-taking, or giving the illusion that the activity is risky.

The first time I heard Maggot Brain, I was on hallucinogens.

Excuse me what? Did we read the same article?

The conclusion of the article is literally:

>The more I think about it, the more I realize Apple’s Self-Service Repair program is the perfect way to make it look like the company supports right-to-repair policies without actually encouraging them at all. Apple can say it’s giving consumers access to everything, even the same tools its technicians use, while scaring them away with high prices, complexity, and the risk of losing a $1,200 deposit. This way, Apple gets credit for walking you through an 80-page repair, instead of building phones where — say — you don’t need to remove the phone’s most delicate components and two different types of security screws just to replace a battery.

> I don’t think Apple expects anyone to seriously take it up on the offer of self-service repair kits. It stacked the deck in favor of taking your phone to an Apple Store, where it can tempt you to buy something new instead. The real victory will come months or years down the road, though. That’s when Apple can tell legislators it tried to give right-to-repair advocates what they wanted — but that consumers overwhelmingly decided Apple knows best.

The whole tone of the article is clearly that it's absurd to rent these tools, and that the option to do so is a red herring.
No amount of infrastructure safety will help if you take a tumble and hit your head - a helmet would totally help.

First, define civilization. It's pretty much common sense that human tribes had their own sets of customs and rules, even back then. Is that enough to have "civilization"? Is getting out of Africa a prerequisite to have "civilization"?

At one point in our history, humans developed language and could tell each other stories about major events in their lives. If developing an oral legacy is your definition of having "civilation", your question is unanswerable because there's no way we can prove conclusively which ancient humans had those capabilities and which didn't.

At some later point, we developed writing. Mural inscriptions and stone tablets are the first examples we have of humanity's communicative abilities. Is using the written word enough to have "civilization"?

Taking the other extreme, it's pretty much assumed that until the European exploration phase in the 15th-16th century, humans lived within their own local/continental society. Is being in contact with people on the other side of the globe a prerequisite to have "civilization"?
I'm a furniture maker. I come to the field with a lot of privilege having worked software for some years previously (but not earning FAANG retire early money), and having a spouse whose job provides considerable stability and health insurance.

You don't need high end vacuum forming equipment to make beautiful, high-end furniture. There are certainly styles for which that would be required, but through human history, people built furniture not only without that equipment, but also wholly without power tools.

You can built modern-looking work using very traditional techniques. I would go out on a limb and claim that stuff that requires truly modern equipment looks "weird", even to a modern eye because we have thousands of years of a furniture record of stuff put together using the same basic techniques.

A joined chair looks like a joined chair whether it's some frilly French thing or some staid and severe English thing. A staked chair looks like a staked chair whether it's some high-style Windsor or a milking stool. A Thonet rocking chair looks f*cking wild because it departs from thousands of years of practice of how people make chairs. It still looks wild, over 150 years after its introduction.

Even a Maloof rocker is made with fairly well-established techniques. I don't say that to take anything away from his design, but to illustrate that you can build very contemporary furniture without making a wild departure from the practice and tools that have served furniture makers for a very long time.

Edited to add: I think I could have become a very good carpenter, but I went into furniture because you find older people still working as furniture makers, and damn few working as carpenters.

> VC doesn’t want to get out early #386. What drives their decisions is far more complex than your pithy summary.

Ah, yes, VC's decision making process is too great for us mere mortals to understand. Their motivation and calculus are beyond our ken. Woe to the uninformed laypeople who cannot fathom their singular desire for money and influence. The nuances of 'make more money' justify the great wealth which their discerning judgement deserves. As if a simple understanding of finance and deal making under advisement in most cases and a larger capacity for risk due to having excess wealth makes them any better than the rest of us humans.

TL;DR: highlight tailwind / bootstrap classes in VS Code.

Web Dev is only a distant area of expertise of mine. I find learning new things here not complicated, but a bit tedious.

What I'd like is to be able to scan through html files faster. And what hinders me the most, in terms of reading others' code now, is figuring which html classes are custom-declared, and which belong to a design framework, like bootstrap or tailwind.

Being able to tell at skim-speed would be awesome.
They're hugely successful in London, so pretty well I guess?
The risk compensation myth was crafted in the 70s as an argument against guardrails! And it was indeed reused as an argument again seatbelts a few years later. And of course, there has never been any data to substantiate these arguments.
> less traumatic brain injuries without helmets than with helmets because you'll have less accidents over all and less severe ones.

Less accidents overall? I can believe that, maybe. But you'll need to back up "less severe ones".

If a new driver who's phone distracted them for a split second is going to hit me on my bike, I feel like it's going to be more severe if I don't have a helmet on.
People don’t like change. Their immediate reaction is often to complain.

“We don’t like the new logo”

“We don’t like the site redesign“

“We don’t like Swift because it doesn’t have header files”

“What I currently do is good enough for me”

Personally, I now save myself a lot of time by not trying to explain to people why they are wrong.
Love seeing Dream Theater on HN. The first I heard of the term "frisson" was a discussion on the dream theater forums, and I was interested to see that some people don't experience it at all.

Another DT song moment that gets me is in Scarred, climaxing with the lyric "Sometimes I feel I should face this alone, My soul exposed, It calms me to know that I won't".
I understand where you’re coming from, but I’d like to see some data rather than “what the actual fuck”. I believe there are some cases where safety protections make people act dumber - and now I’m curious if this is or is not one them. I don’t take a position either way, but I don’t feel like shouting that you’d tell your employer to eat a bag of dicks really contributes much here.
However doesn't a market maker run the risk of holding an unbalanced bag when the market moves? Also curious is there any true market maker these dayd? Aren't they all doing trading actually or just my fantasy? Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by sales intelligence; builtwith shows frameworks, web server tech, etc.
The problem is that as another commenter points out, passengers wouldn't feel safe next to a helmet-wearing driver while not wearing one themselves.

The proper solution here is to provide helmets for passengers as well, but that raises more problems - they needs to be a way to sanitize them, multiple sizes might need to be available (I assume they need to be sized properly for adequate protection?), etc.

The aforementioned problems are hard (read: expensive) or impossible to solve, so while the ethical idea might be to just not offer this service at all, the objective here is to make money whatever-it-takes (or most likely, raise money, as I doubt this thing is profitable) as opposed to providing a good transport service (maybe because there's no actual demand for this?).

Well put.

The financial system largely exist for the purpose of wealth extraction.

Sure, companies use the share market to initially raise capital but what is the true value of Amazon stock considering they don't issue dividends?

Even with a stock that issues dividends how do know that it will happen for years to come?

It's all speculation backed by nothing but emotion.
I haven't read the article yet, but, judging the title, IMHO seems just another marketing balloon: under the skin only hot air. The "device absorbs CO2 emissions while it charges" : I don't think that something like that can solve the problem of global warming or even reduce the side effects in a way we can measure, justifying the hype about that characteristic.

EDIT: I've read the article: "is the size of a two-pence coin", so how many fraction of ug of Co2 can absorb of the "Around 35 billion metric tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere per year" ? But the last part is fantastic: "The results from Temprano's contribution help narrow down the precise mechanism at play inside the supercapacitor when CO2 is absorbed and released", so when the battery discharge release the Co2 again , right? So what is the point of the whole article?
Yes, exactly. I'm trying to figure out how I could have communicated better, since so many people here are so wildly misinterpreting what I wrote.

I think something that relates to the pain of onboarding with unique configurations for core tools used by developers would be useful.

To be specific I wish I didn't have to forward a developer to an already obsolete wiki page then nod and smile as they complain/tussle with the experience/vernacular/context of a document that has no owner.

I think this is a bigger problem (which could be mine and mine alone as everyone seems to really like wikis) but I think being able to seed the developer environment with all the tooling config could help stave off (some of) this pain.

So my thoughts: a simple cli related flow gen tool which could generate this interactively. (And could also verify correctness)

Tools that I can think of from the top of my head that need to be configured to handle
user config and private repo location(s) are git, docker and mvn/gradle/npm (etc, I figure all package management tools usually need this).

I like the way
https://github.com/trailofbits/algo
Works to collect configuration in this respect (Using ansible) as well as how eslint does it (I think using https://github.com/gkz/optionator)
For setting up base config in the cli.

Anyway hope this helps seed an idea or at least might identify a problem (not sure how lucrative it would be though)
This would make sense for situations where the main risk was the driver/operator of the machine, but when it comes to cycling on the road (especially in crazy Central London traffic) I would expect the risk to primarily come from cars.
I've never once looked at how to play Go but your explanation was super helpful. I appreciate this learning style. I use it with computer stuff too (e.g, in an algo process a list of len 0, then 1, etc)
I don't know that I agree. It's an algorithm geared towards day trading so the highest price of the day is a much better metric than the close price, as you should've sold by then.

HN is not a good place.
Depends on who you are. iPhones are for people that have no clue what a file is. If you know, it might not be for you. Switching from samsung to iphone was like beeing dumped in a desert, feature wise. People say that the battery lasts longer. Of course it does, you can't do anything with that phone. For example, you can't arrange the app icons anyway you want, they snap to the top. You can't have apps that rotate periodically the background. You can't have a shortcut to a picture. There is a workarround with an official apple app, where you have to input the name of the picture file which is hard given that they hide that info from you.

With 50% signal you can't make a phone call because the device lies about the real signal level. You see, when the device has no signal, people will blame the device, if the device lies that it has signal, the people will blame the network (because the calls fails). And there are many more issues like this.
I still feel robed that I bought an iphone (the best there was) and I wish people would have warned me about it.

There's reason iphone is no 1 in us an nowere else: it has to do will limited access to education, so simpler devices are "best". In the rest of the world is about social signalling: I can afford it.
If you had access to good education and you don't care about social signalling then there is no point in buying one as there are much better devices with android. Even my ten year old samsung has more features than the iphone.
DALL-E 2 does support 'inpainting' and 'uncrop' (zoom out, synthesizing edges) functionality which can be used to edit AI or human-generated images. I don't think OP used any (at least wittingly): one of the ones I looked at in OP were ones I recalled as inpainted/uncropped, those are relatively unusual compared to pure generation, and it'd be a bit unfair to include any.
Excellent choices!
In Germany it's actually discussed quite heavily whether to make helmets a legal requirement. I also don't see how you don't think of bikes driving on roads as risky. Even with a helmet, you can get very seriously injured; a helmet will just help you to not die and (hopefully) still walk again afterwards. Feel free to look up images from serious bike accidents; I can't imagine anyone sane risking that, helmet or not.

However nobody talks about blocking Russian Uranium imports, while oil and gas is all over the news. Admittedly the values we are talking about are much lower, but if it's easy to switch suppliers it should be a nobrainer, no?
There was already Polo for that.
There are, but... like most of the technical SEO stuff where you can be honest is done now. Use unique titles, don't have multiple H1s, etc. A lot of that stuff was actually useful 5-10 years back when most sites were really shit at the technical side of SEO.

Any more... it's all the soft, subjective stuff. And companies gotta bill hours. So most "SEO" folks are really just content folks, not technical in any way shape or form. And they know without that job they're back to flipping burgers, so they're gonna sell you a lot of shit you don't really need. Often lie about you needing shit to justify their existence.

All the tools I want to see already exist. The big problem I have is that I can never perfectly configure IDEs or any other tools to work with my project unless y project is exceedingly simple.

Let me give you just one example. VSCode + Python has a little tool for integrating with unittest/pytest. It’s pretty neat. There’s a little GUI where you can run your tests in the left panel.

But what if it’s a Django project? Even if you are using unittest, this thing no longer works because django doesn’t invoke the tests directly, but through manage.py. They have no official support for this. You can hack around it, but not without downsides.

Now lets’s say it’s not only a Python/Django project, but also an AWS/CDK project. You’ve got a bunch of typescript in there. And you have the CDK tests as well as the Python/Django tests. The tooling just isn’t able to handle any project beyond the most basic. I always find myself just reverting to the old vim+bash dev environment, as that’s what works.

I want to see an IDE that actually understands and works perfectly with complex projects as well as it does with the most basic ones.
