They're still very much wanted and go for a large multiple of their original new price. They are also probably one of the lightest and most dangerous four wheeled production cars ever manufactured.
That (roughly, with different emphasis) is a the choice I'm talking about. It was not based purely on rational planning, and it was a choice.

That in turn made it compelling for individuals, often, but that's not the same thing.

This is a really cool project. I've been looking for a way to create storytelling-focused games like some I've played, stuff that's more like a VN made in RPG Maker, but RPG Maker proper is a little expensive for a tool I'm not sure I'd use that much. This would be perfect for trying it out, definitely keeping my eye on this!
TLDR:

> The pattern that emerged was clear and consistent: The higher the pay ratio, the higher the average scores in our rankings. This was true for overall effectiveness, as well as for every one of the five areas we gauge…

The results surprised us. Our expectation had been that, if anything, companies with the highest pay ratios would fare worse in our rankings—not better—because too big a discrepancy would make it difficult to nurture the kind of teamwork and trust that businesses need to succeed…

A key reason, we suspect, is that the majority of CEO pay comes in the form of stock and stock options, and the most effectively managed companies in our rankings have, by and large, watched their shares perform very well in recent years, easily outpacing the benchmark Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index.
Of course, let's better use a PostScript interpreter also written in C, so your exploits leveraging both at least look like art.

it's hard to make a non-trivial ruleset that isn't Turing complete. it's similarly hard to have a bunch of chemistry while precluding life forming.
I agree, relatedly it's also nice to have a place where physical attractiveness doesn't get outsized attention. You'd think it'd be a commodity online at this point, but it's interesting to me it seems to never lose value.

On one extreme there's Instagram where that's the main currency, but even on Twitter (which is supposedly about what you write), where you just have the one profile photo/maybe occasional other pictures, you can see it draw disproportionate attention and skew content. Naturally Twitter then inserts these accounts that draw lots of engagement into the feeds of everyone else so they're not possible to easily avoid.
There's unique authentic content and then there is expanding what is already known with a voice. Something that I refer to when I reflect on this is https://xkcd.com/1053/
It doesn’t seem unreasonable to extrapolate this finding to other areas of society where a small percentage of people write their opinions and then a much larger percent of people read them, eventually shaping aggregate opinion independently of any opinion held predominantly by “lurkers.”

How many elections have been shaped by 4chan, Reddit, and Facebook comments? There have been a few studies on this, eg in 2016 [0] and 2018 [1] which found results that probably will not shock you.

Personally, this might be confirmation/proximity bias, but I believe the effect of small internet communities is severely underestimated by the public and political consultants. This is an area that needs a lot more study, not so that we can stop it, but so we can raise public awareness of how memes spread and give people the tools to think critically without falling into the self-reinforcing cognitive traps that arise from filtering information with poor heuristics.

I stopped actively using GNOME long before 3.x was an idea. Xfce has remained consistent, performant, and beautiful. GNOME has become a victim of mismanagement, trends, and monoculture.

Remember that Ubuntu spurned GNOME for a long time because they had their own monoculture issues.

Those things shouldn't go above 10mph. The tech makes them seem like a bike until anything at all goes wrong, like hitting a small pothole or clipping the corner of a road barrier. Then you're suddenly in mid air above a city street with nothing helping you out.

A bike can handle hitting something small, and has enough of a gyroscopic effect that it doesn't just fall over.
Multiplication is repeated additions is the informal way of stating the distributive property of multiplication and addition.

Probably you were taught how to multiply irrational by the property of powers (a^b * c^b = (a*c)^b etc.).

You were not taught a grand unifying theory of multiplication, you were taught how to manipulate operations to turn them into more useful operations.

Teaching these laws also prepares you for when a and b are just symbolic reals with no structure and those laws are the only thing you can use to manipulate them.
I did not know that, I must have confused them for some other library.

The abstract looks interesting, but I can't find it in open access. If you have access to it, what would be interesting to look at is cost evolution within a batch ("pallier" in french). Cost of newer batches compared to older batches isn't really relevant, as France progressively moved from 900MW reactors to 1450MW ones. Newer batches were also notably smaller, leaving less room for design improvement or cost optimization.
Oh, and Koreader even runs on Kindle, very interesting! Thank you. I'll see if I can get that on my Kindle first, thanks again!
Still, why would you ever have multiple, if there’s no way to discriminate between them because you can’t mutate them or obtain their address?
I like being able to walk my city (I live in San Jose) but I can't imagine not having a car. Being able to take road trips to things like festivals where I don't have to pay incredible baggage fees or sit on a train without wifi for days at a time is fairly nice. I would like a world that balances being able to walk with being able to own a car, especially as I get older and move out of the city.

I do think it's a little odd that so many HNers hate cars (an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32297081). I'm not quite sure what to make of those attitudes, even after reading some of their text.

Having worked at one of the big scooter companies, I can say that (when I left in 2021) we had plenty of scooters in service that had been operating for two years or more.

That said, this generation of micromobility has fallen flat. Any solution that's economically viable will need either dedicated infrastructure or self-driving (so you don't need to send a person after each vehicle), not to mention better safeguards to protect the vehicles themselves (vandalism/theft was the #1 cause of vehicle end of life, and even if you can turn a stolen scooter into a brick, $20 of spare parts is still $20 of spare parts to an addict or anybody else who is sufficiently desparate). All of that is to say that the first company to crack that nut will almost certainly need to work in close partnership with city governments--the Uber model will not work.
Don't know too much about Godot but I'd imagine something like this is more suitable for making an RPG simply because its got all the tools you'd need in an RPG game (stuff like dialogue etc) so the developer can just focus on making an RPG rather than having to worry about the specifics of how dialogues are displayed, and stuff like that. Whereas I think Godot is more just for making any type of game, and in that sense will be more powerful but will lack the tools for building a specific type of game like EasyRPG appears to provide.

My bike doesn't have a front brake. Rear pedal brake is the way to go!

It allows you to carry things with your hands and do other things while you bike (not safe, don't do it! haha).

In emergencies you can literally stand on it, make an epic slide and save yourself while looking seriously cool.

It also doesn't break or screw up as easily as hand brakes, which is quite important if you use your bike in a city.

Your question is traditionally phrased as "what if Linus gets hit by a bus?", and if you search the web for variants of that phrase, you'll see it being discussed as early as last century (it didn't take me long, for instance, to find a slashdot comment from 1999 mentioning that hypothetical scenario). The answer back then was "Alan Cox takes over"; the specific maintainer who takes over has changed over the years (nowadays it's probably Greg Kroah-Hartman), but other than that, the answer has remained the same.
I find the cursive text very hard to read.

The free SKU allow you to start setting up and try out monitoring. You can change to paid SKU when you are ready to run more than 10000 API checks/month or 2500 synthetic checks/months.

We do not have per seat pricing. It's purely usage based and you can purchase additional checks as you go.

My small European city of 500k people had at least 9 (!) scooter brands last summer: Bird, Tier, Lime, Voi, Bolt, Zeus, Dott, Ryde, Surf. An article I found says there were actually 12 (!).

As a result, last fall, there were a total of about 25,000 scooters out clogging the streets, enough that the city administration decided to establish a city-wide limit of 8,000 scooters. This spring, the city kicked out all but three services: Voi, Tier, and Bolt.

As a consumer, I like scooters a lot, but market fragmentation was frustrating (one app for every service), and these days you can rarely even find a scooter when you need one. I ended up going back to using my bike.
DHT can‘t be "overexpressed", what you mean are the 5AR enzymes that convert Testosterone to DHT, their creation can theoretically be overexpressed, so can be the amount of androgen receptors.

But androgenetic alopecia is less about abnormally high amounts of DHT and more about the hair follicles sensitivity to it and/or dysfunctional repairing/compensation mechanisms. Practically it makes no difference though: Nuke 5ar = keep the hair.

If it‘s scalp tension, why doesn‘t it impact transplanted hair and why do fin and dut work wonders? It‘s a crackpot theory that doesn‘t need debunking.

It’s much older than that. I was part of the Hispanic RPG Maker community and, if I recall correctly, the project started there in the early to mid 2000s. I’m surprised and glad to see it has come such a long way!
The point of a commuter train is to get to work. On time. Reliably. People freak the fuck out when they're going to be 5-10 minutes late due to any kind of service issue, because even if they know it wasn't their fault, their boss will assume it was (and most people who take public transit have bosses). You can outfit the trains with fine linens and couches instead of seats but being late to work in the morning will never be "relaxing" or "comfortable."
Did you mean write calls?

Yeah the problem is liquidity, and the "bespoke" nature of this kind of bet. I can't just stroll into Bird HQ like Christian Bale and ask them to do all the work for me. I only want to risk a few thousand, not millions. Even setting up the deal might cost more than I was willing to risk in the first place.
My second electric guitar, an Ibanez RG570 I bought in 1992. Really any Ibanez RG at or above the price point of the RG5xx models (now called the RG15xx models. On the higher end, RG3120, RG8670, etc. are brilliant.). On the much lower end, a Harley Benton SC550 gives 98% of the Gibson Les Paul experience at an unreasonably affordable price (I own a Gibson Les Paul and an HB, and I prefer my HB. Maybe my Gibson is a dud.) But electric guitar in general has brought me so many hours of enjoyment over the last 30 something years it's hard to think of any other physical item that can compete with it.

I recently bought a pizza peel, a pizza stone, a kitchen scale, and some dough boxes and have begun making pizzas at home following Vito Iacopelli's videos on youtube, and I'm now making pizzas that are superior to delivered pizza (though less perfectly round so far) and in an altogether different galaxy than frozen pizzas. I am amazed at how good they come out. I'll never buy a frozen pizza again. And the process of making pizzas is neither difficult nor expensive. At some point I might buy an outdoor pizza oven, but so far I'm satisfied with what I'm getting from my conventional oven at max temp.

Interesting, so he was a sort of inverse Ozymandias.
Comparing two systems, one with everyone using mass transit plus scooters of various types, the other, everyone owning an auto, I suspect the former would have a lower emissions footprint. A lot lower.

Scooters may be worse than walking, but they could be a step in the direction of a pollution-free future.

If you think the Domino is expensive, you should look at the Lamello biscuit joiners. While seated.

Imagine you're a person who occasionally needs to use a bathroom, or has anxiety about roads/traffic/driving, or claustrophobia from the idea of being stuck in traffic. I know people with all of these issues. Well-designed public transit like trains addresses them far better than personal vehicles.

I'm also not sure what personal freedoms you think don't exist in Europe or Asia where such well-designed transit networks exist. You can still have a car, you just don't need to have one.
This is more of a problem in terms of how people understand their product - which is to say, it’s difficult to understand. Many people have adjustable rate mortgages which have a low initial rate for 1, 3, 5, 7, etc years after which point it floats.

These mortgages are good for people who believe they will sell their home within the time interval or, occasionally, the person who believes they will be able to refinance their mortgage.

However, as prior to 2022, mortgage rates were super low and an ARM offered little advantage against a market where you could get a 2.25% 30yr fixed, the became slightly less common the last few years.

I wasn't convinced of Oberon; to me, MODULA-2 was great, and that's where things ought to have ended. And in terms of impact, his main accomplishment is clearly Pascal (and indeed, thanks for that!).

However, I do believe his aspiration to make things simpler is genuine. Occasionally, he may have gone beyond the 'sweet spot', but as an academic, this way of tinkering and trying out different things is something that is second nature. I admire that he wrote a language, compiler, OS and - later - also designed the hardware of his own workstation. That's the kind of teacher you want: "look, how easy it all is!".

His compiler book, which can be read in a day, remains a marvel of clarity and brevity.
Is there any work in this space on some oddball "contamination protocol" type of security? Like you would assume everything is contaminated and you do things that eliminate the potential for cross contamination entirely, like they do in lab settings with aseptic technique. In this case, it could mean printing out the contaminated pdf on a system you don't care about being contaminated, then scanning it with an airgapped scanner to recover a 'sterile' pdf. It seems convoluted but I'm sure for some applications that could be a good solution that requires no improvement to pdf protocol.
> Are you assuming that 78% of non-car owners living in New York want a car?

The rate of people who are in principle uninterested or even opposed to car ownership is surely higher in NYC than anywhere else in the country, since there's both a selection effect (people who fit that description move there) and an experiential effect (people who grow up there may not be interested in something they have little exposure to).

What I believe but cannot prove is that the number is nowhere near 78%. I think that defies belief. I sincerely doubt there are more people who think, "the subway is so good there's no possible need for a car" than there are people who simply can't afford the additional costs or are unwilling to endure the unique inconvenience of car ownership in the city.

> But when there is a convenience store 1 minute away and another one 10 minutes away, most people go to the one 1 minute away, indicating they don't actually like walking just for walkings sake.

I'll clarify - it's not that I "like walking for walking's sake", but if I have to do something anyway (go to lunch, get from a train station to the office, etc.) I prefer to at least take a meager opportunity to try to keep my fat ass from getting any fatter.

I just think it's ludicrous when an article that discusses the extremely poor economics of scooter companies to think the solution is "make it free", even with "upgrades". So now suddenly 90% of your scooter fleet's battery usage is on free trips, and all these scooters now need to be charged again.
