> Studies in Delaware and Idaho have shown significant decreases in crashes at stop-controlled intersections.

Seems like the introduction of the law got people to think about cyclists because lunatics will fly through stop signs and ignore yields. Now that they can do it legally, you have to be more mindful, leading to less accidents.

These laws are asinine. Cyclists are such a problem where I live. They believe they are entitled to the road like a 3000 pound car, they slow traffic down, they create jams at intersections, they don't pay attention and fly through cross walks, etc.

You should need to be licensed to use a bicycle. There are far too many stupid people. My favorite example of this from recent history was pulling out to take a right turn, stopping, and right as I'm rolling out to commence the turn a bicyclist FLIES past me such that 1" in any direction would've probably killed him.

Ultimately there's no way around having the trust the client. The state of the art on that front right now is open source code with reproducible builds[1] and binary transparency[2].

Unfortunately none of that is currently implementable on the web for the reason you cited; the web server can just replace the entire application with any code it wants when you refresh the page. One possible path to fixing that is web packaging[3], but those standards are still in their infancy and don't yet have a mechanism for enforcing binary transparency.

They burned wood and built their homes accordingly. Also, extended families all lived together and slept together so the combined body heat, along with the fire, and lots and lots of blankets, kept everybody warm. That's fine and all but we haven't been building houses that way for over 200 years and the people then deforested large swaths of Europe by burning so much wood, there simply isn't enough trees to burn to warm today's population.
If you ever watch "Connections" by James Burke (and everyone should), you'll see that basically anything we see as a breakthrough technology is really just a long series of progressive refinements - it's evolution all the way down. And nearly all the physical laws/effects/discoveries named after one person (for instance the Kuiper belt around our solar system) were actually discovered by groups of people working over time.

See - that's the part I don't get. Photos, to me, are not ephemeral. They are valuable, even if you don't think they are at the time. I've lost too many photos because I considered them to be ephemeral, and I regret that loss because I now only have vague memories of the events they captured. My only remaining memories of some of my oldest friends who are no longer with me are captured in those "irrelevant" photos.

Future you will thank you for keeping photos of your friends.

Given how many billions of dollars that have been spent on similar ideas to no avail, and how filthy and expensive the french fuel reprocessing program is colour me sceptical. Additionally if the idea is good they should have no trouble finding a billionaire or three keen on grabbing a piece of the pie. I'm also sceptical that the existing countries with refinement capability will let anyone else have the ability to make high purity Pu239.

On the other hand, they're only asking for a few tens of millions which is miniscule compared to the public funds going to much worse ideas. So why not? As long as they demonstrate the whole fuel cycle including waste separation and refuelling, and can get their own funding for construction of plants after POC then go for it. Ideally they'd be able to be financially solvent without Price-Anderson too (but with whatever REC or similar scheme that wind and solar get), but we can't have everything.

Food for thought: It's quite possible you're not understanding the client well, and are indeed wasting their time.

I've worked with contractors where you know what you want and why, but the developer insists on throwing up a lot of objections on how it won't solve the problem for x or y reason. Changing the orientation of a PDF seems like the kind of request that should be straight forward and not require a lot of heavy lifting to convince a contractor that it's worthwhile.

That's a fair enough stance. I'd recommend not taking any outside contributions until you are sure about the license, since it'll make it much harder to change the license if you do. Or maybe require all outside contributions to be licensed very permissively, like using the BSD license. Or you could use a CLA, but that's not something I'd recommend. Either way, licensing is hard :(. I can emphasise with the head hurting.... Oh, also, check out https://tldrlegal.com/ .

Every single "OUT" TX appears to be for 0 eth?

I would guess the majority of people have no idea what manual signals are, or that they even exist. I would bet that there is a sizable percent of people who think a manual left turn signal is somebody waving them past.
In the UK and a bit anal about expenses (track every expense for the last 10 years).

I can only speak about groceries. I paid around £200 more per month for the same basket, which is consistent with the claim. Eating out is definitely more expensive and probably around 20-25%.

Everything else, I'm a bit of an outlier, I rent but luckily pay the same for a long time, actively using less heating, not a big goods consumer in general.
> On the one hand, by the time Ferdowsi was writing, several hundred years of Arab rule in Iran had made stories about Alexander (who the Arabs thought was pretty awesome) popular.

Indeed, it's sometimes overlooked in the West that much of the Middle East and Southwest Asia consider their cultures at least in part descended from Greece, much as Europe and places like the US consider Greece the starting point of their cultures. And that's mainly because of Alexander. So you see some of the same stuff there that you see in Europe with Greek (and, by the transitive property, Roman) history, not seeing Alexander so much as a conqueror who defeated them, but rather as a vital part of the fabric of their history and society, as the British celebrate their Roman ruins rather than being angry or ashamed of them despite the Romans being, at one time, foreign conquerors, and even freely tie major cultural founding-myths to Rome (e.g. King Arthur), much as the Aeneid ties Roman culture to Greek.
While it is definitely a thing in some legacy enterprise applications, there is plenty of applications not written in that style. Also, let’s add that the Java platform is unique in being written purely in Java almost entirely - so when you see a stacktrace (and I assume this “depth” feeling originates from those), you actually see everything that happens almost down to the CPU. While in many other programs’ case the platform looses track by passing the FFI boundary, so that libc/whatever part becomes invisible to you.
In the US, most states have a law that requires drivers to be as close as practicable to the right edge or curb before making their right turn. This precludes the possibility of through traffic passing a right turning vehicle on the right. As a motorist, when I turn right, I move close to the edge or curb to prevent cyclists from trying to pass me on the right. Most cyclists either wait behind me or pass me on the left.

When I cycle and I want to go straight through the intersection, I ride in the middle of the travel lane. Motorists will either wait behind me, pass me on the right to make a right turn, or pass me on the left and go straight (or make a left). But I don't have issues with right hooks because I take the lane.
That looks like 4.1

There is all sorts of possible orbits within the system. Both orbits very close to either BH or the star as well as orbits outside of the binary system orbiting both BH and the star would be very probable and stable.

There are more complex orbits possible but these would be more rare and possibly none of those could be stable over billions of years.

Inaudible maybe, but definitely not undetectable. It's a journal article after all.
They are misusing the term for what they are doing. What they created is a program that price discriminates. Price discrimination based on purchasing power parity is a much more accurate description of what they are doing rather than just just purchasing power parity. Of course, it is possible that the author knows this, and is just avoiding using the term 'price discrimination' since it sounds bad outside of the academic context.

They aren't necessarily leaving money on the table, although an argument can be made that purchasing power parity isn't the best mechanism for profit maximizing using price discrimination.

The point the OP is trying to make is that this isn't some revolutionary new tactic that the author invented by understanding PPP on a deeper level than anyone else. This is a concept learned in intro to economics. And one that is used by a lot of online service providers already.
That's why you preface it with "just to be sure". Depending on the situation, "what have you tried" can come before or after (or in the middle, if several obvious known failures exist).

This is such a terrible and uninformed comment. Your complaint against people on bikes is that they think they're entitled to use the road at all?

If i recall correctly you can represent a harmonic oscillator as a linear differential equation with a 2x2 matrix. The imaginary part of the eigenvalues of this matrix correspond to the angular frequency of the oscillator.

I like this example because it gives a physical meaning to both eigenvalues and imaginary numbers. It also shows the connection between the sine and cosine and the complex powers of e comes from (since you can show that all three solve the differential equation).
>I think much of car drivers' anger towards cyclists treating red lights as stop signs is not so much the safety aspect as a feeling of unfairness that they are stuck at the light while the cyclist checks the road and then bikes through.

Nobody on/around the roads using any mode of transit cares at all about any other thing on/around the roads so long as it is not in their way or otherwise about to cause them to need to take action to avoid a conflict. They don't like you as a cyclist because your actions are hard to predict sufficiently far in advance relative to the speeds at which you move.

When you're walking do you care about the cars? No, of course not. Unless they're doing something that's likely to cause you to need to do something.

Which part of the highway traffic act allows cars to drive into cyclists again?
Greco-Buddhism too [0]. There is also a hypothesis that the strengthening of the Silk Road from those conquests led to Indian representatives being sent to the West which "may have helped prepare for the ethics of Christ" [1].

> Buddhist gravestones from the Ptolemaic period have been found in Alexandria in Egypt decorated with depictions of the dharma wheel, showing that Buddhists were living in Hellenistic Egypt at the time Christianity began.[16] The presence of Buddhists in Alexandria has led one author to note: "It was later in this very place that some of the most active centers of Christianity were established."[14] Nevertheless, modern Christian scholars generally hold that there is no direct evidence of any influence of Buddhism on Christianity, and several scholarly theological works do not support these suggestions.[17][18] However, some historians such as Jerry H. Bentley suggest that there is a real possibility that Buddhism influenced the early development of Christianity.[19]

> It is known that prominent early Christians were aware of Buddha and some Buddhist stories. Saint Jerome (4th century CE) mentions the birth of the Buddha, who he says "was born from the side of a virgin"; it has been suggested that this virgin birth legend of Buddhism influenced Christianity.[20] The early church father Clement of Alexandria (died 215 AD) was also aware of Buddha, writing in his Stromata (Bk I, Ch XV): "The Indian gymnosophists are also in the number, and the other barbarian philosophers. And of these there are two classes, some of them called Sarmanæ and others Brahmins. And those of the Sarmanæ who are called 'Hylobii' neither inhabit cities, nor have roofs over them, but are clothed in the bark of trees, feed on nuts, and drink water in their hands. Like those called Encratites in the present day, they know not marriage nor begetting of children. Some, too, of the Indians obey the precepts of Buddha (Βούττα) whom, on account of his extraordinary sanctity, they have raised to divine honours."[21]

A memory leak has always meant "this program keeps allocating more memory as it runs, even though it's not being asked to store anything new". That is equivalent to saying that a program has a memory leak when it fails to free memory that is no longer needed, not just memory that is no longer reachable.

For example, a common example of a memory leak is adding items to a "cache" without any mechanism that evicts items from the cache in any scenario. The "cache" is thus not a cache, but a memory leak (a common implementation of this leaking scenario is that items are put in a map, but never removed from the map).

Memory leak has never, as far as I know, referred to the specific case of memory that is no longer accessible from program code to be freed. In fact, this definition doesn't even make sense from a runtime system perspective, since even in C, the memory is actually always still reachable - from malloc()'s internal data structures.

It doesn't have to involve something adversarial like theft - a bigger risk than coercion is explicit bribery. If you can prove that you voted for something, then you can prove your vote in exchange for a bribe.

The reason every functioning democracy uses a secret ballot is that coercion and bribery were trivial wherever the ballot wasn't secret. Bribery might sound uneconomical for a national election, but there will be plenty of local elections using the same machines where it could easily make the difference.
