Even if you only lived for 30 years back then

Note, this isn't generally true. The low average life expectancy in those ages is skewed down by infant mortality and conflict. In a way, human life span follows a bathtub curve so reducing infant mortality in our (modern) age has massively increased the average life expectancy, but it doesn't mean people in those days didn't live past 40.

Or, exaggerating mildly: nobody lived for 30 years back then; half the population didn't make it past their first birthday, the other half lived for 60 years.

The fundamental problem as i see it:
Nuclear is profitable/possible only at large scale,
it cannot 'scale down', unlike e.g. wind/wave turbines
you can't buy a mini-reactor because the industry is very regulated(and for a very obvious reasons).
the closest scaled-down nuclear has got is RITEG , which was built without these regulations(and would horrify Americans as much recreational nukes).

Besides all the other things people are saying about the difference between work and lifting in the gym have you spent much time with older power lifters? Almost uniformly they’ll have joint, neck and back issues.

The human body needs to run in a pretty thin zone of activity. Too little and you get the obesity issue, too much and if breaks. And that band is changing as you age.

If that physical activity is by choice and easily changed you can stay healthy a very long time, but that’s not how it is when it’s your job.

https://psyarxiv.com/nxw2k

To be clear, I am not saying that it is safer to ride without a helmet, just an interesting study of behavior.

I get that you know people who are harmed by cars (as do I), but your appeal to pathos & anecdote should not have a bearing here.
One good head injury and a lawsuit, and this company will be out of business. And rightfully.
Net-metering has only just been introduced in many southern states after much lobbying from power companies against it. Here in Florida (where I am now) it’s illegal to disconnect your house from the grid if you have solar. There’s a minimum “service fee” of $60 from FPL even if you only used $10 of energy.

In many other states run by a certain political party, they have been making it so your net-metered connections are selling back at wholesale rates instead of retail rates, or limiting just how much you _can_ sell back (sell limits).

When I used to work for an energy intelligence company back in 2017 it was worse with legislation across the Midwest and western states that prohibited solar on roofs and required homeowners to pool together for community solar projects (run by the power company) to get their renewable energy.

Now, most 47 states have some sort of net-metering at least for wholesale prices but more and more of them are requiring a minimum service fees and making hardships for people to live without them.

Exactly what I think as well.

This might lower risk for the customers because driver may take less risk without a helmet in some situation but the risk for driver is only increased.

This is optimizing for customers at the cost of drivers.

I don't see any supportive extensive research linked from them .

This feels a bit like the narrator in "Fight Club" explaining "the formula" car manufacturers use.

> Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Pedal Me has done the math on what the average settlement for a traumatic brain injury to it's staff is going to be, multiplied by the probability of such an event, and has decided that they'll make more money without helmets.

It ignores that much of the risk comes from outside of the drivers control. It ignores that driver behavior could otherwise be monitored to ensure safety.

It would just be nice if it was honest- a driver with a helmet on doesn't match the sexy appeal they're going for. That people might say "if the driver needs a helmet why don't I, the rider?".
I wouldn't be surprised if making the tools available was indeed a PR move by Apple to show off how difficult & inconvenient a "perfect" repair is to do. They didn't have to do it and as far as I know nobody was asking for those (opening/closing iPhones is a long-solved problem by various third-party tools) - instead the RtR crowd is asking for parts and schematics (which this self-repair program doesn't fully address - the parts catalog is minimal).

The fact that they're subsidizing the tool kits (the $1200 deposit they take is nowhere near the value of all that equipment) also suggests that they wanted regular people to get their hands on these tools (and no doubt talk about it) as opposed to charging the actual market value which - while affordable for a repair shop - would've been way out of reach of a regular user.

After all, this kind of equipment is not new and has been available for ages (comments on another thread about this say that in China every phone repair outlet had similar equipment) if you could justify buying it, and yet we haven't had articles like this on major tech news websites until Apple subsidized it enough and put it in a nice, idiot-friendly package.
Translation: If you're an organ transplant candidate on a waiting list, move to an area with more Pedal Me riders.
- A build system / package manager like Nix [1] but with a better user experience / more straightforward command-line tooling.

- A dependently typed programming language like Coq [2] (or Agda, Idris, Lean, etc.) that is sufficiently approachable to gain enough mindshare that companies start adopting it for mission-critical work.

- A version control system which scales to petabytes or more. Something that I could put large video files in without thinking twice about it. Something a large company could use for their monorepo—or even their data warehouse.

- A note-taking tool that allows me to organize notes in a graph with links between them (like a wiki), not as files and folders in a tree, which enforces the invariant that every note is transitively reachable from some "root" (by following links) so I never lose a note.

- Something like Toast [3] but which is also designed for running services in production, not just local development and continuous integration. A unified way to run code in dev, test, and prod environments. A new k8s.

The Kestrel HTTP server included in ASP.NET was using libuv (async event loop implemention used also in nodejs) for a while (it is removed now and replaced with the managed `Socket` implementation.

The performance was way ahead of what they had in their IIS implementations, so I think you will be good performance wise.

> It relied on self-report of the biker (and if I remember correctly, it was just a single one, so not enough data).

Unless I'm misunderstanding what's meant by "self-reporting", it sounds like regardless of how many riders they got data from, it would say that there are 0 fatalities to bikers because people who are dead don't respond to surveys.
A bit like that. But for web dev, not sales intelligence.

In 2019 I bought a hat "Canada is Already Great" in maga hat red. Yes I got called white supremacist on 2 occasions wearing it. I genuinely did believe Canada was already great.

I haven't wore that hat recently, I would never because the article is right. Canada has fallen. We literally have political prisoners right now.

Freedom of the press? Not in Canada. The government 'accredits' who is a journalist. They give billions each year to the news orgs that wont criticize the government. They also passed a law saying any entity which received money from an american organization, for example advertising for an american company, cannot criticize the government. Otherwise it's foreign interference.

Freedom of speech? Not in Canada. They have abused 'hate speech' laws not to stop people like nazis or westboro baptists... but rather to silence political critics. Worse yet we now have compelled speech. Jordan Peterson became popular because of the compelled speech around trans folks. Covid brought in a ton more compelled speech in Canada.

Freedom of religion? Not in Canada. >50 churches have been burnt to the ground. Firefighters wouldn't put the fires out in some cases. No law enforcement ever investigated or caught anyone. The government quite publicly has been arresting pastors and shutting down religion. As an atheist there was a time that I would be enthusiastic to see this but now seeing it... what a disaster.

Private property? No search/seizure. They seized bank accounts of political opponents without a court order or conviction. Denying them the right to eat or live. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1494123825876897797 Lametti is a lawyer, attorney general, and law prof. He spoke concisely and clearly there on ctv.

Freedom of assembly? Right to protest? Clearly not the case anymore as per article. How many indigenous protests have been crushed? Now they crushed the freedom protest as well? A democracy without the right to protest is not a democracy.

Equality under the law? Not if you don't want to take their medicine. You get to lose your job.

Get to participate in society? Not if you don't want to take their medicine. You get to stay home.

Freedom of movement? Not if you don't want to take their medicine.

Right not to be enslaved? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/nurses-union-submits... The government has enslaved our healthcare workers.

It's actually hard to find a human right that the canadian government hasn't violated or removed.

Something's gone terribly wrong if there's a physical altercation resulting from someone possibly not having a valid subway ticket. There's no indication that any of these people initiated physical violence. Even if they were somehow deliberately being pains in the ass, that should never give rise to violence over such a trivial issue.
A fall from bicycle height onto concrete can kill you if you hit your head—even if the bicycle is completely stationary. This rule is BS and I expect the company will be pressured to reverse their decision immediately.

Books designed to actually impart knowledge are rare. Modern publishing is about spine size so a ton of filler.
Sorry, but this is a bad, dumb comment. Your point is valid generally, but not here.

What is the COST of wearing a helmet? $60 purchase and 5 seconds every time you ride. Essentially nothing.

Compare to, e.g. TSA, which has a cost of billions of dollars and millions of person-hours. Unlike helmets, which are known to actually prevent some injuries, TSA is also effectively useless at its intended goal.
> This sounds like absolute bullshit. I've known so many people who have been killed or permanently disfigured because they didn't wear a helmet while biking in a large city.

When I was at uni and was cycling to a 10am lecture, a small van pulled out of a side road across my path. I was in a cycle lane and had right of way. He simply didn't look in my direction until he had already started to pull out. I was unable to stop or avoid him, so hit the front of his van head on, was briefly airborne, and landed on the road on the other side. Miraculously only scuffs and bruises, although my bike was a write-off. At that point I started wearing a helmet(!!!)

The next year, one of my friends went over the handlebars of her bike during a collision, except she landed head-first on the road, thankfully she was wearing a helmet. The helmet was split, she walked away with nothing other than mild concussion. Another friend and I walked out to rescue her bike later from the accident location, it also was a write-off.

Once you've seen a bike accident up-close there is simply no justification for not wearing a helmet. Even if you haven't seen an accident, wear a helmet!
You're right, although I think you would find that it is very common for people to incorrectly generalize all sorts of studies beyond their geographic purview given that most psychological studies are conducted in regions close to major research unis. See also the "WEIRD" phenomenon.

Not sure about the time or season though.
Okay, true story. Years ago I struggled with this exact logic regarding skiing with helmet. After serious consideration I decided to start skiing so carefully that I do not need a helmet. As you may guess at this point, The very first day I left my helmet home, I got into an accident and got a skull fracture.

I started using my helmet again after that.

(But another safety related thing I have started to really doubt. Skiing alone is supposed to be risky. I do ski alone, quite a lot actually. I have gotten into my share of accidents of various seriousness. And not a single of them has been when I have been alone.)
I kind of dislike these industries that depend on imports of cheap labor from poor countries and the governments pandering to them because the locals won't do that kind work, since in that case, the government (read, the taxpayers) is subsidizing unprofitable business that cannot survive in free market conditions by manipulating the labor market in the favor of business owners through the import of cheap labor below local market rates.

This practice should be stopped, or we should reconsider the so called "free market" if the government can manipulate it to bail out the business owning class whenever they're not profitable.
I don’t know any mountain biker that doesn’t wear a helmet. Most I ride with wear full face.

This may be the gripe of your particular highly-skilled niche of the right-to-repair movement, but wide swaths of said movement are agitating for products to be wholly redesigned in the ways they prefer, to aid in much easier repairs. Never mind what the other 98% of the market might like.

> How do you get ever thinner phones without the tooling designed to dismantle it?

This all issue made me think about the SIM tray: the SIM card contacts could also be sealed and recessed between the battery and the motherboard, and you’d go to an Apple Store to change the card whenever you need it.

But you don’t, no one would accept having to get a phone serviced every time a SIM change is needed, even if some people never ever change it after purchase. So it’s designed in a way that you just push a thin bar in it and it pops out, you put your card, push it back, and your phone is still thin and waterproof.

I genuinely think Apple could come up with a similarily elegant solution if they were making way more money by having easy to repair phones than having people give up and buy new phones instead.

Breaking Down the 2020 Homicide Spike
I don't remember which anymore, but a bit over a year ago, I tried switching everything to Wayland, and had too many problems in my specific hardware setup, went back to x11 and some things just broke and some apps I couldn't use. It was not a pleasant journey, so to say. The transition itself can also be a problem, some things can stay in a config and then not be properly reconfigured.

I've used sway, as an example to Wayland only, and if you have specific things configured around Wayland as a compositor, they break too..

But that shouldn't really be the focus point of the discussion, what really is the point, you don't just yank a whole system wide config out from under an unsuspecting user, there's so many variables you just don't know or can account for. Creating a stable application, is also respecting other apps and the system it runs on, not just going in blazin' fixing things for yourself and then not caring about what side effect/consequences it can have. And worse, not informing about it properly.

If your labor has no value, sure.

There's something satisfying about trading labor directly for something like heat that you normally have to buy. Exercise is good for you, sustainability and resilience are virtues, and so on.

But heating even a modest space with wood is a Lot of Work.

Also, it's still quite energetically inefficient, but that's a technicality here I feel, energy isn't completely fungible (it does salvage my sentence, which was about energy). The carbon accounting would be interesting to spitball but fiendishly hard to do fairly.
