The temptation is too great. If the stablecoin has a non-zero administrative cost, someone has to pay it. And if no-one wants to pay it, then it is going to have to invest a portion of the dollars it holds to make up the difference (and to ultimately reward the creators / seed investors).

There are probably no 100% cash-backed stablecoins.
I don’t know who did the research on this, or maybe I just live in an insanely expensive area, but the 2021 hourly rate for plumbers and electrician’s is laughable. The chart shows roughly $30 an hour. I can’t find one for under $100 in my are to save my life, most charge $150-$200 per man hour.
The point is the risk on the road is smaller when you don't wear a helmet because drivers take less risk with you.

Even better if you are a woman in summer dress. Then the drivers give you way more space and are super careful around you. It was researched.

Uhmmmm lmao have you not seen the algorithmic stable coins getting smoked recently?
Hey now, don't bring reason here. We reject effective technology to stop speeding, phone use, distracted driving and regulations to make cars and trucks have no more than necessary power, weight and effective sightlines but since cyclists wear a styrofoam hat they are safe. Except those pedestrians are dying at an accelerated rate, I think they should get a helmet too.

The response here are hilarious, like "they also have better infrastructure" - wow, you are soo close to getting it!

The concepts in the "Little" books are essentially math, and the best way to explain math is by showing formulas.

Vaccine restrictions are mostly lifted everywhere I'm aware of. Whether or not they were justified, it's hard to argue that they were unreasonable when it was a common response in many countries around the world.

I'm sympathetic to concerns about free speech and in no way believe that Canada is perfect, in fact i dislike many of the choices we've made recently, but the way you've stitched this together reads as histrionics and catastrophizing.

Canadians, for better or worse, do not have the same fetish for noone-tells-me-what-to-do freedom as Americans.

If small increases in global temperature can impact sleep enough to care about, then that is a much stronger additional argument for economic growth( to make AC, which can reduce night temperatures by a lot, affordable and universal) than it is for trading growth for some small avoidance of further temp growth. The latter is how I expect most people will read this result...

> 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.

Too bad? If your business model depends on this then you just have to suck it up and deal with it, not compromise worker safety.

> 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.

Too bad? Cost of doing business.
It's crazy to read this comment because the article in the verge literally makes the exact same point.
So why not do the reasonable thing and provide passengers with helmets, like they do with motorbike taxi?

I don't think you understand how fuel economy works. It's dominated by the size of the thing you have to move and how big of a hole you need to punch in the air to do it.

After you've applied all the tricks to get a big engine minimize fuel consumption as it cruises down the road the fuel economy basically reflects the operator's propensity to use the skinny pedal. Of course, if you have the power you use the power so that does help the small engine. Look at all the small turbo engines they're putting in trucks and vans these days. They don't put down substantially better fuel economy numbers than the bigger NA engines in the same platforms.

Contrast with manufacturers who haven't learned to apply "all the tricks" yet, their big engines still drink fuel like it's 2019. Look at the fuel economy of Toyota's 4-6L v8s and compare to GMs 4-6L v8s in similiar vehicles.

> Also just looking at how many European and Japanese cars are sold in the US vs the other way around is pretty telling.

I hate to piss on your "euope good murka bad" circle jerk but when you go up the org chart you'll find that plenty of stuff that gets sold globally comes from GM and FCA (I'm sorry, Stellantis, lol sounds like a blood pressure drug) and is just badged as appropriate per locale. Both the big guys and the smaller OEMs do their best to sell boring sedans, crossovers, minivans and midsize SUVs globally though specific models from specific brands or configurations (e.g. can't buy a city van with a manual in USA) will get withheld from specific markets due to stiff competition (e.g. hard to sell an Explorer in Germany) or consumer preference (few wagons in USA). Each region also gets some stuff that is specific to it. In Europe they have their tiny commuter cars. 'Murka gets big SUVs and pickups. Australia gets a bunch of big sedans and big sedans that identify as pickups. South America gets the "greatest hits" from whatever the last generation of vehicles was. Equatorial Asia gets all manner of basic cars and SUVs that are made extra-inexpensive for that market.

>> What is the advantage of SolveSpace over FreeCAD for 3D parts?

If you compare a list of features, there is probably no advantage.

People use solvespace because it is easier to use, has minimal UI which encourages working directly with the part. Its non-modal, meaning no workbenches, project files, or other overhead. As someone said, they actually enjoy using it.

It's good enough for many things, and the simplicity and fun make it the tool of choice for a small but growing community.

People use FreeCAD because it gets the job done, but people love Solvespace because... well because its Solvespace.
I think it’s funny that they think adults are still in possession of such documents. But it sounds like a red flag. Here’s the test: just tell them no, you’re not going to provide that. The response will decide for you whether you should work there. (In other words, if they say it’s really a requirement, and you can’t work here without producing the document, then walk. If they say, haha, we don’t really need it, well OK.)

Here is another study, where they measured the distance to overtaking cars with a distance sensor:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00014...

"A Trek hybrid bicycle was fitted with a Massa M-5000/95 temperature-compensated ultrasonic distance sensor with its centre 0.77 m from the ground, facing perpendicularly to the direction of travel and feeding into a laptop computer running MultiLab software via a MultiLog Pro data-logger sampling from the sensor at 50 Hz."
It could be as simple as the relative change is one people aren't yet used to. If you grow up in 100 degree weather your whole life you get used to it. Probably there is some delta of time where we would adapt to any change in temp, but if the temp itself is constantly increasing then maybe our adaptation can't keep up as well
Thank you for sharing! What a great article.
As I read it I formulated several questions only for them to be clearly resolved as I read further. This is so often not the case.

The "tiny risk" and potentially large consequences is why people should choose to wear helmets, regardless of experience. You never quite know when an accident is going to happen and it is difficult to account for that. The big risks are easier to account for, to be alert and modify your behaviour accordingly.

I have seen experienced ice skaters go from not wearing a helmet to being fanatical about wearing one, simply because they had an accident and had to deal with the consequences. I have also seen experienced cyclists who would have likely lost their life if they weren't wearing a helmet.

As for the company in question, which (incidently) was insisting that employees not wear helmets, it sounds more like a decision based upon the perceptions of customers. If they were truly interested in hiring people who are safety conscious, they would hire people who are safety conscious rather than those who are willing to ride without a helmet. There are more than a few people who don't wear helmets who have an astronomically high tollerance of risk.
"Global cooling" was never an expert consensus, so far as I can tell. It was a thing some people thought might happen and would probably be bad, but the idea that in the 1970s everyone was confidently predicting that the climate would cool and it would be a disaster appears to be a thing made up by the boo-to-climate-science lobby.

(In the 1970s some journalists were confidently predicting disastrous cooling. Journalists gonna journalist.)

Some people have in fact looked at the question "how do historical climate-science predictions match up with reality?" and the answer is "rather well". For instance:

https://eapsweb.mit.edu/news/2019/historical-climate-models-...

"Our survey began with a literature review of every peer-reviewed reference we could find."

"The first result we found is that all of the 17 models correctly projected global warming (as opposed to either no warming or even cooling). While this is so unsurprising to climate scientists that it is not even mentioned in the paper, it may be surprising to non-experts. The second result is that most of the model projections (10 out of 17) published between 1970 and 2000 produced global average surface warming projections that were quantitatively consistent with the observed warming rate."

"To account for differences in emissions between the simulations and reality, we calculated the warming rates with respect to anthropogenic radiative forcing, the rate at which human emissions trap energy at Earth’s surface, instead of calculating them with respect to time. Using this novel metric of the warming rate, we found that the model projections were even more consistent with reality (14 out of 17 models captured this)."
Programming in Pascal on the Atari ST
Oh man. The 9900 architecture was awesome. Designed at a time when bipolar memory was faster than TTL logic, it put the register file in main memory. Only the PC, STATUS register and "WORKSPACE POINTER" were on the CPU. The general purpose registers were in memory, pointed to by the WP.

It was trivial to implement threads on that machine, just execute a BLWP (branch and load workspace pointer) when jumping between threads.
In these casual conversations non-experts weigh in and give their opinions on subjects of all varieties all the time.

I'm assuming from the snark that you have some expertise in this area and if so it would probably be good to see some of it here because all I've seen from the company and commentary is anecdata.

While this is a deep topic regarding the philosophical break between the two paradigms and one which I spend a lot of time on, the ideal to me seems to be a system which has the immersive nature of a smalltalk-like environment while having the finalized image run at near “chip speeds”. JIT was added to smalltalk to solve this problem and so I wonder if it’s more about balancing the two modes.
A debugger like RemedyBG, but for linux and macos. Bonus points if you could use it for all the things, including but not limited to: WASM, javascript, android, and iOS.

To clarify: I use Vim as a text editor. I use it for all of my programming editor needs no matter what I'm making. I also make a large variety of things because I'm a consultant. Vim has never let me down as far as being able to intelligently edit everything from React to assembly and everything in between on every desktop OS. I'd like a debugger that is suitably small, fast and flexible.

The only human-made images I got (2 out of 30) were also the only ones that were not square. Given that most GANs only do square images, human made ones should be square also if we want this to be fair. And as some others have said, DALL-E 2 really seems to have a "style" that's quite easy to spot once you've seen a few images already, so even without the square hint I think would have gotten close to 30/30. But I would like to see the results on a better crafted dataset with "naive" people, like a kind of visual Turing test.

> Where would you start

I'd be reading sites such as https://phys.org/nanotech-news/ to get an appreciation of what's being developed and then think about what's _not_ being developed, and then search for those. Of course, investing can have many profiles. It's easier to get opinions on slow and steady bets, but harder to get good opinions on riskier, disruptive tech...there's no substitute to doing your own research with the latter.
> I believe there are some cases where safety protections make people act dumber

And I don't believe that to be a justification for removing those safety protections entirely. This ain't some data science problem to be solved; this is ethics and morality, and there is precisely nothing ethical or moral about demanding that your employees make themselves less safe and then having the gall to pretend that this somehow makes them safer.

> I don’t feel like shouting that you’d tell your employer to eat a bag of dicks really contributes much here.

You're right: all employees telling their employers to eat an OSHA-sized bag of dicks if they try prohibiting basic safety equipment would contribute far more greatly to society than just one. But we gotta start somewhere.

I live in their target area and I can't ever recall a time where I wanted to combine the risks & downsides of biking and ordering a cab.

If I want to bike (note: I wouldn't recommend it in Central London), I'd get the Santander bikes or the various bike-for-hire ones littering the streets and just do it myself.

If I wanted to spend time fiddling with my phone, I may as well just order an Uber instead of this thing? The prices would be similar considering they both have to pay drivers and driver wages represent a significant chunk of the sticker price of any manned transport-for-hire service so I really don't see why anyone would get this thing instead of a good old Uber.
> the objective here is to make money whatever-it-takes..

This. Definitely. However if it came to court, as indeed it might, and they tried to argue helmets cause risky behavior, it wouldn't take Johnny Cochrane to get them slapped with a massive fine and laughed out of court.

They're gambling that the cost of safely resolving the issue will be more than any legal costs. Talk about preventing risky behavior!
