I agree with you, I don't think we should ban cars, however making it very difficult to have cars in the city would help! I bike in Copenhagen almost 100% of the time, and its actually so much more difficult to get around by car.

I do think cars should be banned in downtown-downtown though or at least have extremely harsh reinforcement: there is no reason for the rich businessman to be driving his Porsche at 120 km/h down a back road near where everyone cycles.
This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
> If you have time to react to a car door suddenly opening in front of you, is it best to go around the door?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you brake, you could run your face through the door window. If you swerve, there better not be a driver behind you.
I think hitting cyclists with cars and horrifically injuring them is inconsiderate. But each to their own.

In Brazil we have the expression "cagão" which can translated as "big shitter" to refer to someone who encourages or announces a firm, dangerous or exemplar behavior but recedes back when need to assume it arrives.

I think it's similar to car collisions: swerving is tempting because you might prevent the crash, but often taking the crash head on at the lowest speed possible is much safer.

A compounding effect for cyclists is that usually you have a shorter stopping distance in a straight line (since bicycles don't have ABS, so you have to limit breaking while steering)

Rust is trivial speed. Blinding speed, out of the box.
You live around a lot of long, straight stretches of road, right?

In my experience, cars take way longer to navigate across intersections, roundabouts, and sharper turns than bicycles, simply because of their size and momentum and limited view.
> I think its Paul Graham that made the argument to have a "weird" language as your startup language for this reason.

I think you do that by using the “weird” language starting from team size of one, not by convincing 40 people to re-write 500k lines of already working code base.
I expect a lot of salty comments in this thread, and a lot of downplaying (which is probably justified, it _does_ say that the effect goes away, and it may be that this happens after other vaccinations).

However, this is a thing that none of the many people who previously got this shot would have been offically warned about beforehand, right?

This is presumably one of the reasons why a lot of people were skeptical that giving something to a billion people and then waiting a few months was perfectly sufficient to make claims about long term safety.

This. I didn't get a driver's license till I was in my 20s, but it made me a much more conscientious cyclist, because I understood better what drivers were looking for and how they thought about sharing the road. Often as a cyclist on busy roads the safest thing to do is behave exactly like a driver would behave, just much slower. It might briefly annoy people behind you, but it sure is better to cross lanes and merge into traffic as a first class citizen of the road than get stuck in the shoulder and try to dash through a gap.

I think Rust has a lot more complexity relative to other languages (Borrow checker and lifetimes especially).

I didn't find it particularly hard to pick up the basics, but compared to say Python or Ruby there is a lot more upfront complexity to do things.

If you're coming from C/C++ it's probably easier to pick up, but in terms of relative difficulty across all languages I definitely think it's up there.

All of those presumptions are wrong.

The network uses the same amount of energy whether a block has transactions or not. Surely you see how that would actually help your “I hate energy use” argument if you actually made that one. Your argument is a common argument though, its incompatible with the more accurate argument.

Secondly, trading for speculation occurs offchain, meaning most speculators are not transacting on the network.

It's worth saying that a more recent meta-analysis [1] concludes that there is a slight reduction of HbA1c (i.e. better long-term glycaemic control) but that the evidence is weak. As ever with medicine, you should now read a metric ton of disclaimers into this paragraph along the lines of the other harms that alcohol produces, and how the evidence is mixed and it is hard to produce decent trials to study it. With regards to (the very related) cardiovascular risk profile, this meta-analysis is also likely to be of interest. [2]

I don't understand why crossing between sidewalks would be unsafe.

Pedestrians obviously do that all the time, and assuming that you start crossing from a stopped state and not at speed, it seems to me that a bike is as visible or more visible than a pedestrian (about same height, much wider, similar speed).

More often then not, the front end devs responsible for the app are not very good with "normal" web frontends - so they sabotage the competition, to reduce work. Also, web pages, could be repackaged into Apps by others leeching from the products attention.
It's best to be out of the path of the door so you don't have to decide, but I imagine otherwise it's situation dependent. "Am I going fast?", "Is there a huge truck behind me?", etc.
With such policies you will quickly discover there are many more health conditions that preclude riding a bicycle than you were previously aware. For example, middle-aged and older men who suffer variously different prostate-related conditions that aren't usually discussed.

> My Reddit usage has basically plummeted to 0 at this point because of their pushing me towards an app.

My phone can't even work all that well with apps like that or Chrome browser/WebView for that matter. I use Opera on my phone because they allow me to have 50-100 tabs open with no issues, but maybe that's only passable because I never do anything important like banking on the phone anyways.

So, whenever I'm coerced into installing an app for actually browsing content, reading comments, looking at media (vs something more one-off like ordering food/a ride), I just look the other way. Ergo, I never use Reddit on my phone without spoofing the user agent or whatever the "request desktop site" option in Opera does, but then the UI becomes unusable on a phone.

Sadly, cases like mine don't show up in any metrics, nor do people care about that use case, so it's likely that this will keep being done a lot.

Reading through all these comments I’m floored that no one has pointed out the most obvious safety tip of any bike/pedestrian.
Use the roads defensively and as if every car doesn’t know you’re there. Before entering traffic with cars make damn sure the car sees you and make sure you are fucking visible. Motorists aren’t looking for bikes (you are small) they are looking for cars.
It is your responsibility to understand what every car is doing and to ensure that a motorist sees you taking an action that might result in a collision.
You technically own the road by law, but you practically speaking don’t. Bad accidents don’t happen because everyone was aware. Bad accidents happen because either the driver or the cyclists wasn’t paying attention. It doesn’t matter how much of the road you own if the motorist is distracted answering a phone or changing a radio station. Their car will crush you all the same.
Drive defensively. Be aware of all of your surroundings at all times, particularly motorists and defer to the car when in doubt. The law cannot save your life after your chest has been crushed.
Check out the "Apollo" reddit app. Its a 3rd party app for Reddit. I've started using it and would never go back to the native Reddit app. No ads, very fast, constant updates etc.
I personally stop browsing Reddit and Twitter when their fuck-you-banners appear. I have accounts with both, but installing the app or logging in is usually more friction than accessing the content is worth.

... So thanks for keeping my periods of distraction very short! Maybe they just care about their users' mental health and are sacrificing their engagement for it :)
It doesn’t need to be a “purity test”. It’s sufficient that if there are multiple candidates with seemingly roughly equal skills, the one not having worked in crypto gets the job because they seem slightly more likely to be a good cultural fit.
Efficiency can't be higher then 100%, if it could be then you've got a perpetual motion device or in other words, you're creating new energy that didn't exist in the universe before - breaking physics.

Not to mention that heat pump efficiency isn't linear as it depends on the humidity and temperature in which it's operating.

Electric heaters more or less just lose energy in light that they produce, which is quite often negligible.
Push notifications. Once someone is hooked on the site a notification can get them back into the dopamine feedback loop very easily. I think this is why restaurant chains have started giving people free food to install their apps too (along with all the data they can sell now.)

Building is easy, naming is hard. In this case though, you're overthinking it. Pick one and move forward. Attributes is super common to use in these scenarios. Properties is also common and wouldn't be out of place.

I like to always build a project dictionary early on, as it just is helpful for everyone coming along later, and also if concepts change over time the original intent is clear. So like in this case, I'd just pick "attributes" and then have a markdown file or wiki etc that has common terms, and attributes would be described with examples. A quick 1-2 sentence write up is way easier then trying to spend a lot of time picking the perfect word/phrase.
> It's my understanding that this was more like an added shim layer in the kernel, and that it just communicates to the (still proprietary) code now in firmware. In other words the blob moved, but it's still there, just shimmed.

There's a very important difference: that firmware runs in a separate processor, which assuming a working IOMMU (and that firmware has to assume a working IOMMU, since the IOMMU is controlled by the main processor), can only influence the GPU itself. Having all the code running in the main processor be open has a large benefit, and gives a lot of control back to the user. It also allows for faster evolution of the platform (for instance: the whole EGLStream vs GBM debate would be less of an issue if the kernel code was open), and even completely replacing the main processor itself (for instance, does the proprietary NVIDIA driver have a RISC-V version of its blob?).
bet: in five years there will be legal cases attempting to argue that AIs can count as legal persons, which will be for the purposes of absolving a corporation being sued for harm from responsibility for those acts as "the AI was acting independently". That is by far the most important and very plausible case Gebru is making and we will definitely see it happen soon. "Blame the AI" would be an incredibly easy way to absolve bad actors of responsibility if they could clear such a legal hurdle and all of the "AI is sentient" hype most certainly leads towards that outcome .
> And having lived in both wealthy communities and among poor communities in developing countries it amazing the general mood among the poor seems to ve much more positive and less anxious and neurotic.

I've noticed that too. Here are some of the potential reasons that come to my mind:

1. Their day to day lives are less complex. If they work in jobs, they usually perform a routine set of tasks that can be more or less done on mental autopilot. If they're self-employed (usually farmers), they have to plan and worry about the future, but at least they're not subject to a set of pointless, unknown and arbitrary rules like people in complex office jobs are.

2. Their jobs are (on average) more physical and involve more genuine contact with people.

3. They often stay around the place where they were born and when their entire family is. This gives them both rich social life, help with raising children, as well as a safety net.

4. They're not conditioned to strive to be excellent, an "industry leader" or a great artist etc. They're perfectly content with boring/low-status jobs as long as they pay for the important things in their lives, such as their family.
The best way is to have city planning that actually takes bicycles in account. All these situations are horrible and almost all of them are preventable with better street layouts.
They're talking about throughput not transfer. Like a 100Mbps link, not 100MB data transferred total.
The concept sounds a lot like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_liability. I was introduced to the term at a mine site since it applied to blasting activities. Basically if anything/one was harmed during the blast, it was on the mine, regardless of them doing everything correctly. (I’m not holding my breath for this to be applied to US drivers.)
Most or all developed nations require strict and improving designs to new cars to help with safety. Better example IMO.

The point is “no side effects other than IO” is a useful observation to make about how a language feels to use and the kinds of programs it encourages one to write.

In the UK, cycle lanes stop or are explicitly painted out in front of cars in such areas.

Such as: http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/57/34/2573447_7290591... (it's not clear without more context why the lane's on the right, remember we drive on the left so usually the lane is too, but my point is the area in front of the cars, forcing cars to see you and allowing the cyclists to clear the junction first.)
Awesome! Thanks for the link, I'll give this a watch!
No. If anything it is getting worse. Previously not many people knew much about crypto to care. Now plenty do.
I wish I knew why they're pushing the app so hard so I can specifically avoid doing that. If they want you to just have any app installed they'd win even if you install Apollo.

Never own a bike. If you still got a bike, never ride it.
The ancient version of defacing a clients website.
I don't ride mopeds/ scooters/ motorcycles. I've done a couple of cross country road trips. I do cycle pretty much every day for fitness, fun, and challenging myself.

But just like you did, I kinda feel like cross country road trips would be excellent on back roads via motorcycles. In a car, it's a bit disconnected and insulated. On a bike, it just seems way too slow and tiresome.

Only things I'd want in a cross country motorcycle is: a machine that's under 50 pounds, has a max speed of 50 mph (I'd prefer to keep it at 20-30 mph), goes 300 miles per gallon, and costs under $3000. SO I GUESS I WON'T BE TAKING THAT CROSS COUNTRY MOTORCYCLE TRIP EVER THEN.
Regarding number 4, "Don't ride against traffic."

Seems pretty obvious, but in my local area they've started building bike lanes for both directions on a single side of the road [1]. It's great that they have nice wide bike lanes with some separation from the cars, but quite frankly it's an accident waiting to happen at the junctions with one of the bike lanes running opposite to the expected flow of traffic.

Cars pulling out of side roads on that side now how to cross the double bike lane first, (which means looking both ways when you would only expect to have to look in one direction) before reaching either car lane. It's also not signposted that bikes can be coming from both directions. Cars going straight over a cross roads have to cross the double bike lane after the double car lane, so have to switch and look both directions twice at different times.

Worse, as a car, if you are turning off the main road and down the side road (either to the left or right), you now also have to watch for bikes coming up the bike lane from behind you which is very tricky.

Both of these situations goes against the well established norms of the road which I think makes for a very dangerous situation.

And finally, when the double bike lane crosses a more major intersection with traffic lights, they actually narrow it to a single lane running only with the flow of traffic. Bikes moving on the lane opposite to the natural flow are directed to cut across the other half of the bike lane and navigate the whole junction on the pedestrian pavements, crossing the roads at crossings. On a bike this significantly slows you down, unsurprisingly I've frequently seen cyclists ignore the guidance and attempt to navigate the intersection against the flow of traffic on the now single track bike lane. That's crazy dangerous as the timing of the lights pretty much guarantees that you are going to be passing in front of a turning or crossing car. I don't endorse the behaviour of cyclists who do this, and to some extent it's their fault if they get hit when not following the rules of the road, but given how awkward and slow they've made it to follow the 'correct' route, I'm not at all surprised to see it being ignored.
