I'm not "against" cycle helmets, but think that their benefits are over-sold. The big issue is when people think that bike helmets are an important safety aspect of cycling, when they're probably not even in the top ten. It's interesting to see different countries' attitudes towards road safety and cycle helmets.

For the record, I always wear a bike helmet here in the UK, but I am not convinced that they really provide much benefit. There's plenty of different studies on bike helmets and a lot of them are very flawed (quite often ones that are sponsored by helmet manufacturers), which is worrying as it should be easy to demonstrate if they are having a big effect on road safety. My opinion is that population wide, they do provide a small benefit, but they can also act as a barrier to cycling for some people, so it's best to not over-emphasise them.

The health benefits from active travel are undeniable, so I'd prefer cycling to be promoted as much as possible and talking about helmets is missing the point.

Rock climbing helmets differ in design substantially. Loads of modern ones are more like bike helmets - recognising, I suggest, that most head injuries climbing are head hitting the crag rather than rocks falling, making it more like cycle impacts. That said, I've no real insight into what makes one design better over another.

CCW is very common in the US now, CCW holders are less likely to commit crimes than police officers. In general CCW or constitutional carry states don't see big wild west shoutouts at grocery stores so no. People are generally good and honest. Criminals are the exception to that, except they don't really care about whether or not carrying a weapon is illegal.
Seriously dangerous advice.
Well done being lucky on repeat, but luck is all it is.

I was cycling safely from Coogee to the City in Sydney.

A lady driving her kids to school rear ended me at a round about.

My head smashed straight into the asphalt. Fortunately helmets are more or less legal requirements in Australia or else I would have been dead or brain-damaged.
You’re not kidding at all. I discovered a problem with their implementation of Bull queues, and the attitude of that crowd was something else.

> it seems that those homeovner associations are on level of North Korea and Soviet Russia

The HOA is an agreement that is designed to keep a neighborhood from going downhill by residents parking on the street, or turning their yard into a parking lot, or from painting their house some atrocious color. As normally designed, they are little more than a codification of "don't be a jerk."

The problem comes when people get involved. The sort of person who really, really wants to be on the governing board of the HOA is exactly the sort of person who should NEVER be allowed anywhere near a lever of power. These are the sorts of people who are out on the street with calipers to see if your lawn is over the prescribed length, or measuring the height of your mailbox. They take great joy in meddling with other people's lives, and they hide behind the veil of "I'm just enforcing the HOA contract!" to be douchemobiles.

Whether this is an improvement over "either get your car out of your yard or I'm gonna punch you in the nose," is an exercise left to the reader.
Why not? Given every helmet I've seen in a significant crash was split somehow, my assumption is that splitting is an important part of the energy absorption.
> The two variables are independent. You can have direct, liquid, representative democracy with or without secret ballot; therefore, they are orthogonal issues.

The two variables are not independent because the delegation system destroys the principle feature which makes ballot secrecy trivial (every person casts the same number of votes in the same way over the same time window).

Workarounds for this have significant cost (requirement to use "black box" software or requirement for delegation to take place strictly prior to the actual vote and for a person with a lot of delegated votes to fill in potentially hundreds of ballot papers, or requirement for delegates to fill in special multiple-vote ballots which may end up being personally identifiable despite best endeavours to anonymise them).

> As I commented elsewhere, you don't need to be aware that you are anyone's delegate, just that you are a delegate.

And if you don't know whose delegate you are, you might unintentionally cancel out a vote you would normally delegate by delegating to someone who delegated to you. As I commented in the very next sentence. Individually identifiable delegations or permitting edge cases with cancelling-out delegations resulting in no actual votes cast by a particular group, pick your poison.
(I guess you could also avoid this collision by only permitting delegation to a separate class of people who are not allowed to delegate their own votes but that's a completely different system to the one described in the paper which will yield completely different results...)
That rule about vegetables I've only ever heard applied to front yards which on American front yards looks pretty weird anyways. Most of our homes have backyards where it makes a lot more sense to put vegetables.

> Everybody makes mistakes. But it takes real courage to own up your mistakes and fix them.

Yes, but like you said, this happened in the past. The current French citizens are not the ones who made these mistakes.

For the same reason that we don't punish the children for the crimes of their parents, we shouldn't be accusing people today of the crimes of their ancestors. I agree that it would be amazing if the French decided to help restore Haiti, but it's not beneficial to cast blame on the French people of today and demand reparations.

At the very least, if we demand reparations of them today how far back do we go and who else do we demand reparations from? The Germans committed atrocities against the Jews less than 100 years ago, but nobody is demanding reparations there? What about Mao Zedong, also less than 100 years ago? Or how about the evils going on right now in places like Saudi Arabia[0], Afghanistan[1], or the very alive slave trade of over 21-45 million people right now[2]?

From what little I know, in the US you can only file patents for "method and apparatus". I could be wrong but I think this is a very common restriction in patent systems around the world.

Suppose they file this patent for an ebook reader ("apparatus") with this specific feature implemented in a similar way ("method"). You would be in clear violation of the patent if you were to build and distribute a competing ebook reader with a substantially similar feature. But protection drops off rapidly the further you go from replicating both method and apparatus. I.e. if you only work on a piece of software (absent the ebook reader apparatus) I think you should be fine (but IANAL).

Now suppose you were to publish an Android ebook reader app with this feature, and publish it via Google Play. Supposedly this would result in a combined software and apparatus in violation of the patent. I'm not clear on how this is usually regarded (you'd have to at least worry about patent trolls I assume) but I doubt the patent owner has a legal leg to stand on (which won't necessarily stop them from trying).
Dell Wyse 5060 thin clients (similar AMD SoC to PC Engines APU and HP t620 Plus) have also jumped from their $40 eBay prices.

Underground construction is really hard to do correctly.

I agree it is harder to do correctly and costs more. It's an investment that if done right could outlast any above ground home. But that is quite a loaded caveat on my part, done right. That's why I envision this being done in a factory and very specific instructions and compliance requirements that if adhered to should produce more predictable results. The bunkers I see people building today are all custom one-off designs and I think that is where they get into trouble.

I do like the idea of heat pumps. That would be a balanced trade-off for those that do not want to mess with putting in a home under ground.
We use detailed crime and handgun carry permit data for the city of Memphis to estimate the impact of publicity about the database on burglaries.

We find that burglaries increased in zip codes with fewer gun permits, and decreased in those with more gun permits, after the database was publicized.

So to reduce my chances of house robbery just get a gun permit. You don't even need to own a gun and all the hazards that come with it.

Or if you're looking where to live, move to a zipcode with fewer gun permits so you can worry less about a stray round coming from a neighbor's house.
As a Dutch cyclist I would certainly use a helmet on American roads (or not use a bicycle at all). Furthermore, in the Netherlands the delivery drivers that use bicycles are asked to wear a helmet by their employer. Riders of E-bikes that are able to accelerate without pedalling and those that are able to accelerate above 25 km/h are required to wear a helmet by law. I'm certain that the majority of the Dutch would think it is completely insane that a delivery company is prohibiting the use of helmets on their E-bikes, even if it was in the Netherlands.

> 1. We had zero percent interest rates. This causes the value of assets with cash flows out into the future (think speculative tech, Tesla) to accelerate.

You’re on to an important point, but your statement is inaccurate. Firstly, it’s a fall in the rate of interest that is equivalent to a rise in the present value of a future cash flow. And vice versa. Notice this has nothing to do with “high” or “low” interest rates (whatever that means, exactly), but a change in the rate of interest. Secondly, this is not related to speculative stocks. All companies with an expected future income are affected by this, ie. almost all companies in existence.
Digital Hoarding is a real thing. I suggest reading up on how hoarders stop hoarding and apply them to your digital life.
At least here in Germany rates are usually fixed for 10 to 30 years.
Ok, so you admit that not all the concerns turned out to be bullshit created by the Catholic Church, as you originally claimed.
Any sane utility function would not just use money as the optimizing variable considering that one person can (indeed) hoard billions of it, besides not being able to spend it on pleasure or whatever.

I don’t personally care for Utilitarianism. But these counter-arguments are not convincing considering they are so hypothetical. They are just about gaming an algorithm. Or gaming a definition, if you will.

Billionaires were born by capitalism, which accompanying philosohy is political liberalism. Utilitarianism is not central to political liberalism. Interestingly that quote from Wikipedia is from Nozick, one of the few academic philosophers to advocate for Libertarianism.
People will only continue to buy things, if they have a job and some spendable income.
There is a site called "99 bottles of beer" or something, which has programs in every language that printed the lyrics to that "song".

I prefer that one to "hello world", because the programs were non-trivial (they had loops, for instance, and an if-then clause)

Hello World is just a bit too trivial to get any meaningful information from any language

How is it easily detectable?

There’s a wide misconception that assault is an act if violence but legally it’s merely the unlawful threat of violence, which is of course implied by actual unlawful violence.

Unholstering or otherwise displaying a firearm is assault by definition unless there’s a justifiable reason to do so.

Edit: re: assault: https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-charges/assault-an... “In most states, an assault or battery is committed when one person physically strikes or attempts to physically strike another, or when they act in a threatening manner to put another in fear of immediate harm.”
I agree that local zoning is a problem, but I've seen a trend to try to turn it into the wild west. I'm not sure people building duplexes in R1 is really a solution. It seems like we need more medium density in commercial areas (e.g. four stories of apartments on top of one floor of commercial).

That could bring down rents and improve quality of life, and improve the suburbs as well. If you drive by a poorly-maintained house in the suburbs, that's probably someone who would live in medium density if it were available.

The Hanhikivi plant was controversial even before Russia's latest full on attack into Ukraine. It also wasn't moving very fast because the builder was unable to supply precise enough plans to STUK to move on. STUK is the government watchdog and is considered very strict.

The reactor dome by the way would have been forged in Ukraine.

There is a two reactor plant in Loviisa that uses the Soviet VVER technology (but not Soviet automation). It has worked very well. Olkiluoto plant's reactors 1 and 2 are from Sweden, and have had extremely high uptime. Both plants were built in the seventies. Olkiluoto 3 is the infamous French EPR that is finally coming online now.

Hanhikivi would have used an eastern-western mix of technology like Loviisa.

So after a month, I've only got about 10 articles in my Pocket account, all having been read on my Elipsa.
