Based upon what went on with Auto Tires in the US 30+ years ago, they will build up in many people's yards (especially in low populated areas) for decades until it becomes a kind of minor super-fund site.

Unless disposing of batteries can seem "free" and very easy, I expect that to happen. Somewhat similar to used auto oil. I suspect in various places used oil is either burned for heat or dumped in an undeveloped area.

> what’s the role of buying and/or trading individual stocks?

Loads of reasons to do so:

1. You might have enough alpha to beat the returns of an index.

2.You prefer a more market neutral strategy and construct your own basket, maintaining it over various timescales.

The fact is that most of these reasons don't apply to your average retail investor though.

You don't. It's all useless.

If you have a high paying job/lots of money, it doesn't matter. If you don't have a high paying job, it also doesn't matter.

Do you see why?

That leaves people people for whom it doesn't matter, but they choose to entertain themselves with horoscopes, ahem, I mean market predictions.
Unless Pedal Me provide open-source data on which they based this decision, I don't believe it is based on safety.

It's seems like marketing and cost-cutting issue for them.

Customer: "Driver is wearing a helmet, and nobody provided helmets for us.. Are we in danger?"

Pedal Me: "Say no more.. "

Plus it seems they only bought caps & jackets for their drivers previously, no safety gear. Drivers are replaceable, aren't they? (\s)

And other thing, why is a 3 meters long bike road-legal?
Another such example is drivers or passengers opening cars' doors without looking in the mirrors. A car's doors are reinforced plenty while having relatively sharp-ish metal ‘lip’ on the butt end, and you really don't want to run into one from that angle.
> I’d probably rather work at a nuclear plant than a coal mine or oil platform.

For what it’s worth. You might only be saying that because the nuclear industry is regulated. Nuclear workers aren’t dying of new asbestos exposures any more (but the would be barring regulations). The coal and the oil industry are notorious for their lax regulations. Environmental disasters and bad working conditions are aplenty.

Some key things that let me to immediate spotting:

- DALL-E 2 is really awful at symmetry, in art pieces it's less obvious because even humans are terrible at replicating features equally.

- A lot of human images are pictures from Unsplash, so they have some pretty recognizable features, in particular framing, shallow depth of field or more commonly, very noticeable ISO noise
Because the shows were universally terrible.

There's some great thinking in this article, even though I'm not sure I completely agree with it.

> We should simply ask voters to send a lot of signals (by voting for any candidate who strikes them as reasonably good) and we should let the higher levels of the system do the work of aggregating together everyone’s signals, to reveal the most urgent concerns that society is facing.

The problem here is how we define "reasonably good", which is especially difficult as there is no way to really calibrate that between voters. Does "reasonably good" mean the candidate is a 7 out of 10, or a 4 out of 10?

This gets even more complicated when (some) voters realise they can vote tactically to increase the effectiveness of their vote, or are told by the candidates (or misinformation campaigns) that these tactical voting strategies are helpful (even if they end up being detrimental).

Is there any evidence that Approval Voting is any better (than other electoral reforms) at picking up and aggregating these signals to provide the desired electoral outcomes?
> I would be planning to ride this thing out for at least eighteen months or more.

I was talking to a friend (another old guy, like me, but really rich, unlike me).

We've both been through at least two recessions (big, nasty ones, with teeth and claws). We realized that there's an entire generation of folks; many running companies, that have never seen a real bear market.

It's likely they are having a shit hemorrhage, right now.

The company I used to work for, was (still is) an over 100-year-old Japanese company. They lasted through a devastating war, a depression, multiple recessions, and were still around. I'm hoping that they stay around. They've made some choices that could be disastrous (I think that sidelining my team was one ;), but not the same kind a lot of companies are making now. Lots of people are leveraged to the hilt. Bad place to be, when the economy starts tanking.

HODL is the word. Live cheaply, so you don't need to cash out in a trough. Don't rely on other people's money, keep debt way down, keep margins high, optimize processes, etc.

Hmm.

A guarantee of force by a different nation isn’t always in the best interest of a nation: the comparison that comes to my mind for external application of force when a canal’s “security” was threatened, is the Suez Canal.

You’re not considering that a lot of active managers are helping clients define bespoke investment strategies that suit their assets and liabilities. They set a strategy, pick a benchmark, and invest. In some cases, a portion of those investments may be passive instruments and other portions may be research-driven asset allocation by the manager.

Of course, it is, but they are arguing that it's not a taxable event, in some jurisdictions.
I'm not sure about that. If the bike gets stuck either you go over the front or you wish you did.

I have had my bike's wheel get physically jammed into a train track and went over the front. I was wearing a helmet, though I didn't hit my head. I was practicing Aikido back then and did a nice roll resulting in no injury. There is no way I could do that today.
It does, but people do a good job at making a strawman of themselves. These bootstrap folks are out there, and they are here. And I'm not just talking about the libertarians, plenty of liberals have trouble seeing the bigger picture. When it's painful to do that, we don't do it. You don't need to live in Nazi Germany to be have to ignorant for your own good, cognitive biases like just-world fallacy are enough. Climate change is plenty enough, it creates a lot of uncertainty and it brings the strawman out of people. Our defense mechanisms are rather predictable.
You can do both! Live needing little, be humble, spontaneous, help your friends and family! Let go!
Fyre festival creator plans new entertainment ventures after prison
It's a common misconception amongst amateur cyclists that because helmets marginally increase the chance of neck injury and that head injuries are relatively uncommon on bicycles that helmets deliver negative returns in terms of safety but as others have pointed out the data doesn't seem to suggest this is actually the case. Also in terms of common sense consider that all professional cyclists wear helmets when they're competing.

I'm getting real sick of the, "your feelings" talk. You used to get socked in the eye for talking to people that way in public. There's a better way of expressing your point than speaking to proverbial others as though they're children. It's enormously toxic.

If you ever visit Amsterdam you'll see there are hardly any cars on the road and those that are have to drive at something like 5 miles an hour to avoid all the pedestrians and bicycles.

It's nothing like riding a bike in the U. S.
But if it's about safety, why don't actual car taxi cab companies provide helmets for their passengers? It's easier to get a serious head injury in a car than on a bicycle.
They don't protect from the part where the car directly hits the rest of your body straight on, or the bike itself. Every single part that happens immediately after that - such as the fall, flying through the air, or what have you, the parts that always come afterwards - is where the helmet can provide life-saving protection.
> Sanctions on Cuba? This is not because Cuba or Castro is "bad". ... What's the real issue with Cuba? Castro nationalized assets and resources that belonged to US corporations.

It is not surprising that US reacts more harshly when a foreign country violates human rights of US citizens than when it 'just' opresses their own citizens.

> Sanctions on Cuba? This is not because Cuba or Castro is "bad". We have absolutely no problem propping up horrific dictators as "allies" when it suits us (eg Pinochet, MBS, Saddam Hussein until it didn't suit us, even Erdogan, arguably even Netanyahu). What's the real issue with Cuba? Castro nationalized assets and resources that belonged to US corporations.

Close, but not quite right. Castro nationalized assets and resources that belonged to various people all of whom now live in Florida and vote as a bloc. Note that Obama actually tried to end the Cuban embargo, but was stopped due to politicians afraid of upsetting the various people-who-hate-Cuba-for-this-specific-reason.

It’s not a matter of what’s actually written in the laws but of police/prosecutorial discretion.

Whatever laws are on the books are virtually never actually enforced against motorists, because motorism (and disdain/resentment against cyclists) is deeply embedded in the culture.

The default reaction of the median American (or at least, the median law enforcer) to any accident involving a motorist and a cyclist, regardless of actual fault, is “fucking bikers always breaking laws, running red lights and stop signs, if they want to take our lanes and slow us down, why don’t they think they have to follow rules like a REAL vehicle,” etc.

Sanctions against Cuba likely continue because those sanctions are popular with an influential demographic in a swing state, namely Cuban Americans in Florida. In 2020, 58% of Cuban Americans affiliated with the GOP, while only 32% of non-Cuban Hispanics did. Furthermore, Cuban Americans have high voter turnout relative to other Hispanic demographics in America.

One phrase I see missing from all the Netflix convo is "tent pole," and it is the basis of the entire movie business. One or two films a year will hold up an entire studio like a tent pole while the rest of their films lose money.

Why not only make tent poles? Well, they try, which is how we get endless superhero movies.

Why not just make up a new tent pole? Because no one can figure out in advance what they are. No one in Hollywood seems to be able to, ever. Look how many "sleeper" hits were considered unimportant, and how many big budget, highly promoted films fail.

Hollywood doesn't know what's a hit until after it's made, and neither does the viewing public. Great art with lasting value can't be crowd-sourced.

CLI / TUI parsers and analyzers of code. Let's not compartmentalize those into super-complex graphical IDEs.

I'd like to be able to do e.g. `$TOOL functions path/to/module.rs` and get a flat list with only names or full function signatures (configurable by CLI switches).

I'd also like to have some pre-baked analyzers e.g. find all controllers in Rails / Phoenix / Laravel / ActixWeb projects. Or all views, templates, etc.

Furthermore, CLI/TUI refactoring please! I want to rename a function, or a module, or even just a local function variable, let me do it!

In general: tooling for massaging source. We need much more of that.

Well, Canonical does, to be fair. They just seem to be unsuccessful at gaining adoption. Part of this is my suspicion that they just do it to get their IP on the map (like with the snap store that only they can manage). But I would imagine that RedHat's goals are similar, after all they are a commercial entity too.

Personally I don't really trust either and I lament the high level of commercial involvement in Linux. It's one of the reasons I use FreeBSD. And they are still doing very well in features. For example they had jails (real containers, not chroot) way before Linux had containers.

I don't believe in "win-win scenarios" when it comes to commercialisation. In the end the commercial interests will always trump everything. I think RedHat's recent actions around CentOS are a good example of that.
