Pushback on my XR is extremely subtle. The GTs have audio pushback but it's quiet. The app on my phone and watch tell me if I'm low on battery or have wheelslip, but I wish there was just a simple pushback notification. It would be so easy.
In SF, I actually notice this more with the non-rental ones - the bikeshare e-bikes are pedal assist so a bit different.

I am hoping that as time goes on these newfound e-bike owners will get more comfortable and will respect traditional biking norms.

Another phenomena I've noticed is a lot more kids with e-bikes, oftentimes 3 kids to a single bike.

It's not a good comparison: everyone has an ability and authority to get police at your door. Police acting on a report and arriving at your doorstep threateningly is not a pleasant experience. And depending on how much it scares you, police might think you are more suspicious instead of less.

This is why false police reports are generally forbidden and can put you, a reporter, in jail.

You shouting out a crazy theory on leukemia will not compel anyone to listen at the hospital. Police are obligated to act out on all reports.

So while they do bear the least responsibility, I disagree it's by a wide margin.

Certain sports just come with more risks. In some cases they’re niche enough with the right communities that they self police or fly under the radar and escape regulation. Others wind up with restrictions and licensing requirements.

In one wheel’s case it’s a very fast thing which requires an impeccable sense of balance and intense respect for it being something that can only keep you moving if it has power. Fangs (little wheels on the board edges) are an option for people that want more flexibility with it bottoming out, but they also lower your clearance so it’s a trade off and you’re still best off never letting the battery die.
I don't think this is an earnest attempt to help his victims. He must know how ridiculous it is to ask for someone to repay his victims losses with nothing to offer in return. Feels like a legal strategy to mitigate criminal and civil consequences.
FTX took deposits from unaccredited US investors with specific guarantees about what would happen with the money and they filed for bankruptcy in Delaware.

I don't care about the VCs getting their money, I'm happy they go to zero etc- I'm saying the opposite, the VCs gave a false sense of security to regular folk that FTX was legit, but in reality FTX was telling depositors that they were doing all these things to protect them that they weren't.

At minimum, the regulators should say "Hey, you can't tell people their money is safe if it isn't" (siloed customer accounts etc) at best the regulators should say "Hey, you have to make sure regular consumers are safe if you plan to take money from US consumers".
Even that… :)

Sure, anything can fail.

For these kind of "catastrophic failures" I think the important thing is the probability of the event.

I am not aware of evidence showing a Onewheel can fail at an unacceptable rate.

I had a onewheel that would occasionally just stop. The first time I was going at 15 mph and fortunately came away with only a few scrapes.

I sent it in and they fixed it. This is their explanation which I don't know that I fully believe:

Our engineers completed the repairs on your board! They found that the power button had broken which led to damage to the controller circuit board. Both have been replaced under warranty for you. After your board passed our post-op testings it was picked up by FedEx!
Why? That would cause you to accelerate which would cause a nosedive.
I tend to be skeptical of grants that don’t fork cash up front. A lot of “pledged” or “committed” grants, giveaways are often tax dodges. I may be wrong, I’m not a tax expert, but it seems that tax deductions on pledges are accounted for immediately while the cash flow out is actually delayed. If my understanding is correct, it would make sense to pledge as much as one can in an “up” year.
Treating people like adults (should) imply being kind rather than nice. While it could certainly be seen as "nice" to just give people solutions to problems, it's not very kind, as it deprives them of working through to the solution. IMO, hints should be encouraged, but only after the hint seeker describes what they've done and how they've approached the problem so far.

This video is directly produced by Onewheel's marketing department. It does certainly highlight one way user error can lead to injury on a Onewheel, but I don't think this is a credible refutation of the idea that there may be a flaw in the product.

Skateboarders train themselves to run out early in their practice, in front of the garage when they hit a pebble at <5mph. And get frequent future practice.

I imagine if your first skateboard fall was at 15+mph after a month of complacency, skateboards would be attributed to a whole lot more concussions.

More like 1:2:filter cond xs.
Knowing how to fall is such an incredibly important life skill, it's baffling to watch people who never learned it.

As a ski instructor, you could instantly tell from their first fall the kids who would get it and stick with it from the ones who would be sitting in the lodge pouting after an hour.
I didn't assume that. I specifically pointed out that CPS has limited resources. Let's assume the process works in the moronic fashion you're suggesting. Texas CPS has under 10,000 people, of which about a third are investigators, and investigations typically take 2 weeks. Then there's the police/courts/jails that have their own limited resources.

Imagine how that'd work. If you called in a complaint about a ten-year old today, the kid would no longer be a minor by the time the investigation began. ;-)

In my public and private school experience it was both the other kids in the class who didn't like to be outshined as well as (some, not all) of the teachers who couldn't be bothered with anything outside of the textbook and did not like to be questioned.

I recall once in 6th grade we were talking about marine sponges and the teacher had brought in one of those loofah sponges, passed it around and said that it was a sponge from the ocean. I raised my hand and said "no, that's a loofah. It's from a plant that's in the cucumber family. I know because my grandmother grows them." And he was like "No, this is a sponge from the ocean. Your grandmother can't grow these." There was no changing his mind and he didn't appreciate being contradicted.
One day there is going to be some sort of reckoning, where the question of federating and de-federating gets solved for good.

The way it's looking right now, each instance will have to formally join the federation whose rules most closely match its admin's own values (and thus presumably the values of that instance's users), and each federation will have its own name, and published policies, and processes for applying to federate or appealing de-federation.

I'm not sure how a new instance with no users would get approved, but perhaps it would work like a state declaring independence, or splitting a bee hive. This would make it difficult for individuals to run their own instances, but the big federations might think that's a price worth paying to not have to deal with a never-ending deluge of newly created temporary instances that only exist to send spam.

Ironically this is quite similar to the situation today with email, which is also a federated network, except the big players all federate with each other, and it is in principle possible to send a message to a Gmail address from an SMTP server you run yourself.

Another solution might be to introduce another layer of abstraction at the protocol level, allowing people to run multiple accounts across different federations, and synch up a consistent view of the world. This might, however, require people to tag each post with metadata about which groups of people it is likely to offend, so that the software knows which subsets of your friends should receive it.

Perhaps an AI could help suggest the tags, which would make this process more seamless, but I worry that brigades would form demanding that certain users not be permitted to even have read-only access to certain instances, because of messages they sent on other instances. That seems to be the same social dynamics as the article is discussing.
It could also signal that you got motivated and took many hours out of your busy day to do a meaningless task like memorize a path finding algorithms. This might be a good signal that you will also be motivated to spend many hours doing meaningless things at your job.

Actually, if you think about it, the whole concept of getting a college degree isn't much different - its not about what you learn in the classes, it just shows that you have the capacity to go through an arbitrary social experience, follow a bunch of rules, learn some stuff, and stick with it for a few years - pretty similar to a job.

I use a function in my ash/bash shells as that is where I spend most of my time. I do not sync it anywhere but it would be trivial to sync to/from one of my sftp/https servers. This is certainly not for people that do not spend a lot of time in a shell.

> I think the only country that I can think of that comes close to actually protecting free speech is the United States

Nobody supports unlimited free speech. Everyone accepts there needs to be certain limits. Suppose there is a billionaire with a very dark personality, and you are a low-paid waiter in a restaurant. He's unhappy with the service you provided, and is in a particularly angry mood today, so he instructs his minions to falsely label you as a child molester, and spends millions spreading that false accusation across the globe, simply as a way of hurting you–does any one really think "free speech" should include the right to that kind of speech? But if you don't, you support defamation laws as a limit on free speech at least in some extreme cases, even if you think many of those laws (as they currently exist) go way too far.

So, if we accept free speech has to be subject to some limits – the question is, where to draw those limits? How to balance freedom of speech with other freedoms (such as freedom from defamation, freedom from fraud, freedom from privacy invasion, freedom from perjury, etc)? Is there some objective answer to how that balance ought to be drawn? You seem to think that the US does a better job of that than most other countries (or maybe even every other country)–maybe you are right, but surely that's an argument that needs to be made, rather than simply something which is self-evident (as you seem to think it is).
The longtermist EAs do suggest that, but by dollar donated, the more traditional global health stuff is still a large chunk of what EA do.

> I read some posts about this movement, and from them it seemed like EAs are more interested in the far off stuff

You can’t really use that as a metric to judge the movement, since there’s only so much one can write about “donate money to AMF”, but you can write pages and pages about the far off stuff.
It's strange that they don't offer "recommendations for preferable terms" for every term. Or, at least example sentences with the terms to avoid removed and replaced with more appropriate language. Clearly these terms are being used because authors find them useful. Without guidance on how to replace them, authors will probably keep using them.
If you look at cities where bikes are well integrated then they are way safer than cars.
It's not really. Plenty of people have handheld tasers powered by 9v batteries and plenty of farm equipment can (and does) mangle people not being careful around very dangerous machines.

This is just a misunderstanding of the risks involved in various things.

16 mph is also a 14 second 100-meter dash. You have to be in decent shape to run that quickly and your legs already have to be in motion. 20 mph is an 11 second 100-meter dash. That’s fast enough to win races against all but trained athletes.

FWIW, I’m a marathon runner with a 3:07 PR. I’ve done a lot of speed work. I don’t think I could run fast enough to keep up falling off a board in motion at 16 mph.
Ah that's a pity, but totally understandable.
Dark pattern #1: Allowing the user to download the app and only then requiring the user to login/signup. This is because you know very well almost nobody will bother to try your terminal if you make it clear you require a login up front. But if they've gone to the trouble of downloading it, dragging it to Applications and running it, then maybe they'll go all the way.

Dark pattern #2: On sign-up, you "agree to our terms of service" but then you have the gall to say, on unsubscribe: "you are currently subscribed to our opt-in messaging. Do you want to remove yourself from opt-in messaging?"

Agreeing to a 17 page terms of service document might be technically "opting in" to messaging (spam), but it sure isn't in spirit. Opting in is when you click on a, previously unchecked, check box that has "I'd like to receive marketing from you".

I'm sure there's plenty more but I uninstalled it already.
Have you published anything regarding your smartwatch or speech recognition solutions? I'd be interested to read about your custom watch project and your offline speech recognition project if you've published anything about those.

In the last few years I've also made the switch to a Linux workstation, alternative Android OS (Calyx), pi-hole, etc in an attempt to take back some of my privacy. I also spent some time trying to build my own voice assistant using Mycroft AI but I found it lacking at the time. I just ordered a smartwatch a few days ago (after avoiding them for years) and I went with a simple model with an e-ink screen to hopefully give me some new functionality without demanding my attention. If you've shared any details about your projects I'd love to learn more about them.

One of my children started public from 1-5 in Montessori and found the same (and at a somewhat selective public school).
Are they really not using montessori methods?

Or is your critique more along the lines of the bigger driver for montessori outcomes isn't the montessori methods, but the affluence of the families?
God… the most close calls I’ve seen have always been with rental e-scooters. Both of them blew past a red light, which btw, I was stopped at on my e-scooter. He nearly got hit by a SUV if the driver didn’t stop.

I think there’s some expectation for bikes to go with traffic, rental scooter riders think they’re some kind of unicorn where right of way no longer applies.

And I am assuming they are rental scooters because of the styling and lack of helmet.
You’re right, it is preposterous, which is why this is narcissism and not stupidity. The first rule of any fraudster is to never admit the fraud, no matter how obvious. Never apologize for anything, never admit wrongdoing of any kind, and try to deflect and diffuse blame diffuse blame to as many people as possible.
No reason the robots won't reach "other ways" at a point either. I think it will take a lot of combinations of solutions over time.

I still think there should be a lot more rotation between general crops, animal grazing and replenishment cycles. "Live" soil is becoming a problem and we keep extracting/killing it faster than it's getting replenished. Not to mention all the pesticide issues.
I'm confused.

If someone tells me that an algorithm scales to 1000 RPS on their infrastructure, and we are having a conversation about scalability, I am interested in what I have to do to increase the number of requests per second by some factor.

Unless what you meant by 1000 RPS was 1000 RPS per server, say. In which case you're claiming that your system scales linearly - adding another server adds another 1000RPS.

Oh absolutely, it's just weird when that tone leaks into the text of the article. A sort of winking style that expects the reader to read between the lines, which is fine as far as it goes! But imagine beginning an article about Bernie Madoff in the weeks after his Ponzi's collapse pretending that you just wanted to learn more about his ethical principles.
This is ignored so often, it is scary. I have been longboarding pretty frequently and extensively up until 2 years ago. I've had my fair share of crashes and plenty of scars to serve as a reminder, but generally I always was a pretty safe and relatively skilled rider. But I also had multiple fun but stupidly risky experiences on my longboard, but no experiences comes close to the fear I felt when joining my friend on an electric longboard riding through fairly dense urban traffic.

Having that experience, I don't understand how people seriously treat longboards (or similar modes that heavily depend on the riders ability to balance well) as a serious option in traffic. Bikes? Yes. E-Scooters? Probably yes. Longboards or Onewheels? Hell no.

The ethics discussion along with the FTX/Alameda discussion is such a fascinating juxtaposition for me. It makes the article so much more interesting in my view.

On the one hand, you’ve got this ethics discussion, which in context happened previously, about the ethics of running an immoral business to do good things. Then an ethical discussion about how that answer was BS and all that really matters is perception, and how perception doesn’t mirror reality.

And here I’m trying to reflect on these topics. How do I feel about these things, how would I answer?

Then the next part begins soon after with “messy accounting.”

I view it the way I’d view Michelangelo’s David if it were displayed at a local county fair.
