You believe that if the evidence indicates more people would die with the helmets, it would still be morally verboten even though it would be a statistical certainty your omission of action is basically causing people's deaths when we are talking about large numbers of people?

Crazy. I suspect you are actually reasoning from your thought that people are more likely to die without helmets and ignoring the premise of the question, or at least I hope that is what you are doing.

I'm 43 and I've found that while I love video games, the amount of effort required to learn a new game until some type of reward feedback is triggered is tiresome. I find that just being in the peace and quiet or watching a show especially one I've seen before with the wife is wonderful.

Well, if you think wearing a helmet increases risk, why do you wear one?

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to force anyone to wear a helmet. It's completely fine if one wants to take that risk. But forbidding them is just insane.

Also, helmets are not a get-out-of-jail-free-card. They increase your chances of survival in case of a crash, you will still get injured. Protecting people might be the least effective thing compared to eliminating the hazard, but splitting cars and bikes is simply not always an option.
As someone not overly backend proficient, I love the concept of flat-file. I just rebuilt my blog with another flat file CMS, literally finished it last night, and today I am reading this article and think, whether WonderCMS may have been a better choice.. but, no I won't start over.

The CMS I picked is PicoCMS - what flat file stuff have you used and can recommend? And probably important, how well does it scale? I cant give much input here, my blog has 21 posts so.. no ceiling in sight yet.

I totally agree with Rossmann: the more important thing is that you can lease the equipment from Apple but there is no obligation. The equipment is intended to do a job compliant with Apple standard but, if you don't care to replace the water proof sealant, etc, you can use tools you already have or more cheap from your regular sources ( hardware stores, ebay, etc). The right to repair is a serious matter, without activist like Rossmann, who spent his time to speak to the US Congress, we wouldn't even have the spare parts from Apple: this is the real vantage, not the possibility to lease the tools.

I think you're referring to Ian Walker's study. Yes, motorists on average passed helmeted cyclists closer than non-helmeted ones. The difference in average passing distance wasn't huge (1.3 m vs. 1.2 m) and was still a safe distance.

Unless the bike is made of rubber, you can totally hit your head somewhere on the bike.

Also look at the amount of car vs. bike accidents where the cyclists head smashes against the windshield. A helmet protects in that case too.
I second this.

All of their work, besides technical SEO, can be useless and even actively damage your rankings after a minor Google update on a rainy Thursday afternoon.

There's no hard proof any of the stuff they sell you really works, because _nobody_, contrary to what SEO consultants might tell you, knows how those rankings really work. It's just a guessing game.

Do good technical SEO (including performance + accessibility) and don't do what SEO agencies tell you. That should get you decent rankings over time.

From the abstract:

> The distribution of overtaking events shifted just over one-fifth of a standard deviation closer to the rider – a potentially important behaviour if, as theoretical frameworks suggest, near-misses and collisions lie on a continuum.

Looking at the graph in figure 1, "one-fifth of a standard" looks as unimpressive as expected. The distance from the kerb looks much more relevant.

IIUC all the analysis is based on 2355 data gathered by Walker riding a bike himself a few years ago between two cities. It's not a mix of data from different persons or a mix of city and countryside rides. The most interesting part is that Walker published 5 articles about the same data, and he got a different result in each one.

I'm confused by this part: <<NZ has a very generous welfare system (compared to its very small GDP)>> Did you mean to say "GDP per capita"? To me: The generosity of a social safety net is about two things: (1) culture (do you care about non-family) and (2) GDP per capita (can you afford it).

I've seen research stating adjacent car drivers will give less space to a cyclist wearing a helmet due to implied added safety.
Individual choice? Perhaps some people really do have more awareness without a helmet? Maybe the individual involved is the only one that can decide if a helmet is better for them or not?

Why can't our prejudices on this be just our own? We don't have to mandate them for others.

True; on the other hand I remember (I don't have a handy reference, sorry) a study showing that car drivers were leaving less space around cyclists wearing a helmet (hence increasing the probability of a collision) than around those without...
Even in Vietnam the scooter-taxi services provide helmets for passengers.

With so many startups how can you be sure all of them will fail to provide value?

It’s totally possible the whole thing is unworkable and dies out. Another option is that it survives in some niche area that provides value or just becomes entrenched like HFT.

And it’s possible a world changing blockchain startup hasn’t been invented yet. Any tech breakthroughs with processing power or storage could have a huge effect on blockchain.

Correlation vs causation much?

In order to show that helmets *cause* accidents, they need to create a randomized study where they force employees to flip a coin to decide whether to wear a helmet or not.

Otherwise, here's one plausible scenario: Employees who work in tiny suburbs with small roads and very little traffic feel safer, and this are less likely to wear a helmet. They get in less crashes because their town has fewer and safer drivers. Employees working in the city have more crashes simply because of being in a busy city, so they are more likely to wear helmets.

Right now, you cannot prove that helmets cause crashes and not the above.

Ask HN: Should Instagram add labels indicating an image used filters?
I think we Instagram should indicate whether or not an image had filters applied to them. This will still allow folks to enhance images, but at the same time inform users that the image has been enhanced and improved. Therefore informing the viewer, what you're seeing is a mixing of reality and illusion.

Technically you are correct that wearing a helmet does reduce risk of head injury somewhat. However -when infrastructure for cycling is already very safe- you start seeing all sorts of strange statistical effects; and it is not immediately obvious that helmets are a net benefit.

As an example of one of the more funny&misleading statistics: People who wear bicycle helmets in the Netherlands actually end up in hospital more often. https://waronthemotorist.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/who-are-al...

I looked around a bit to see if I could find a paper that takes a balanced view. This particular paper seems to be a bit more from your perspective where wearing helmets might be of some utility. However it does leave the impression that it is would actually be somewhat hard to break even on wearing helmets in the Netherlands. https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...
I'm pretty sure a professional looking branded helmet would be better for business. This is just a classic case of putting the employee at risk of injury to scire some tiny marketing points. This is an easy decision. Endanger employees or make a tiny bit more money. Factor in one lawsuit and all the profit will be gone.
C# In Depth is indeed a good read. Unfortunately, the C# language is getting more and more complex, especially when you compare it to Java.
It seems like it would largely apply. Part of the attraction is the reciprocal positive feedback and sense of familiarity.
Is the data you're talking about the data from Ian Walker's study in Bath, England? The sample size was one rider - himself. Other folks have analyzed his raw data and disputed the statistical power of the effect described. That rebuttal has also been re-rebutted. So that's three published studies about this, and three sets of headlines, but as far as I can tell, there's only ever been one actual study that collected data, and it was based on one dude in one area of one country.

Wearing a helmet is a low-cost no-brainer and it provides increased protection. It does NOT turn riders into daredevils, fairly certain any statistics that say so don’t distinguish between single riders and those riding with cargo or passengers which are not idiots and know to adjust their riding accordingly.

I’m fine with riders being able to choose whether to wear a helmet based on their skill, confidence and situation. But saying “wearing a helmet turns you into a psycho so don’t, or we’ll fire you” is really nonsensical and irresponsible.

It seems completely debunked in that case at least.

I can imagine how somebody could have thought risk compensation might be a thing in the short term - such as when seatbelts were a new invention. I've seen the kind of thing like people demonstrating how their active cruise control won't let their new car crash into the car in front, which is a pretty dumb idea (even if it will almost certainly work). But that seems to wear off pretty quickly, and then having it just becomes the default and you don't think of it anymore, so I imagine any risk compensation would quickly evaporate.

With bicycle helmets, they're mandatory here for riding out on the street, so it was just always the default. Anecdotally, putting on a helmet was and is just something we always did, and never changed the perception of risk because it was just the normal default. I don't even think about it, just like how I always put on the seatbelt and then don't think about it anymore.
I fully agree that asking about it is step one. But if they say it is required, just deal with it. Not being willing to jump through a couple hoops of red tape to get onboarded to a job is a red flag on the candidate. It may be silly/stupid, but bureaucracy is real. Is it really so much work to call your school, ask for a copy, and send it along that you would decline a job over it?

The Netherlands probably also have some of the safest roads for cyclists.

Nonetheless I recommend to always wear gloves when riding a bike. They weigh nothing, fit in every bag/pocket and if you ever crash you'll be glad you wore them. Hands are very likely to get injured in an accident and it's not fun to not use them for a couple of days.
Interesting. I've often heard that athletes in even non-contact high school sports need to lift weights - to protect at-risk joints by strengthening the various muscles around them.

It would be extremely nice if mandatory weight training could greatly reduce the incidence of injuries and "wear out" in blue collar workers...

Calling it a Ponzi scheme is uninteresting and not really the point here. Was GameStop a Ponzi scheme when the stock price soared?

I think the interesting part here is the relation to bitcoin and a new theory on how to price things. It’s traditionally been assumed that the price of an asset is related to the underlying value it has or the value it generates (eg cash flow). SBF is pointing out that’s not a complete method of pricing assets in today’s world. You also have to factor in “collective agreements”.

Bitcoin is the clearest example of an asset price that is driven by collective agreement. The collective agreement is enshrined in code and algorithms.

I'm not a fan of the "duh, your monkey brain gets everything wrong all the time" vibes that articles like this one tend to give off. The very first sentence already labels this cognitive pattern as a "mistake". It's not a mistake, it's a heuristic. Psychologists would do well to learn the difference between the two. You haven't found a flaw in the brain, you've found a mechanism the brain uses to navigate the world in the absence of unlimited knowledge and cognitive resources.

Traffic engineers know that too many stop signs increase the speed of driving as impatient drivers speed up between stop signs.

While that's true, there's another layer to it: impulse control.

When I consciously think about what I'd like to watch on Youtube, it doesn't include some of the things I'd click on if they were put in front of my face. The same is true of food I might take from a buffet versus what I'd order for a catered meal.

I'd like to have an algorithmic feed that gives me the kinds of things I say I want rather than basing it on my actual behavior. I'd spend less time on Youtube and watch things my conscious mind says are more valuable to me. Of course, that's less profitable.

If you generally wear a helmet, aren't you either encouraging risk-taking, or giving the illusion that the activity is risky?
