Art is a strange market, where people pay for more than the physical good being delivered. In some cases the objective value of the good being delivered is zero, or even negative after considering cost of "carry" (transport, storage, insurance) yet people pay for it.

I once spoke to an illustrator who said her work was definitely shrinking due to low cost human competition, so much so that she was leaving her profession. I can imagine this did in fact get worse.
the point here is very simple:
have you ever crossed a street on bicycle alone?
and have you ever crossed the same street in a group of bicycles?

THIS is the real difference.
Only must add, management is mostly art of delegation responsibilities to right person, or to right organization, so you could do more important things, or more pleasant things, still being boss.
Prison is not the right fit. If you want deterrence, make them pay directly towards the victims. Put them on house arrest. Put them on probation. Ban them from holding a managerial or executive role.

There are plenty of alternatives that don't involve locking people in cells - and that are probably more effective a deterrent.
All of these studies are measuring incidents per year. They miss the confounding effect that helmet laws can make people bike less.

Résumé/CV: https://bit.ly/GrantBTaggartResume Email: granttaggartsf@gmail.com

Hi,

I'm Grant and I'm from Santa Rosa, CA. I've been engineering for a little over 3 years now and I've built some things that I've been proud of and had a lot of fun along the way. My last role was as a Platform Support Engineer at Rutter, an eCommerce and fintech API company, where I would debug customer issues from end to end. Before that, I owned a small business that supplied guitar builders with materials, but I sold the company to focus on programming. Aside from coding, I'm into cycling (MTB, road, gravel, CX), playing guitar, craft beer, record collecting, and home coffee roasting. I'm generally a social person that works well with others, and I love learning and sharing my knowledge and I'm excited to find my next team!
That's a rather... optimistic view of what total war between nuclear powers would entail. The goal would not be only to destroy missile silos, but industrial capacity, the electric grid, military and political leadership at all levels, and the population's will to fight. All major cities and all forms of civilian infrastructure would likely be targets.
Ask HN: How to build community for your SaaS?
Everyone says building a community that supports your SaaS journey is important. They help you spread the word, support you on your launches on Product hunt and similar platforms, and give you feedback on new features you add to your product. Which are all the great things you would want for your product to happen.

But how do you actually get started? What piece of advice would you give to someone who is getting started?
Positive ‘Tipping Points’ Could Accelerate Climate Action
Scientists believe dangerous climate change "tipping points" are approaching — from surging sea levels as polar ice melts to fast-spiking temperatures as methane escapes thawing permafrost. But what about positive tipping points?

The article goes on to explain why these conclusions make cyclists less safe.

Basically, the only reason that bicycling is unsafe is cars. Cars are only a threat to cyclists when they share the same roads, which is only a problem because not enough people bike. The best way to ensure safety for cyclists is for there to be dedicated bike infrastructure that is completely separated from car infrastructure, and that's only going to happen once enough people switch to biking.

>None of them say that a cyclist wearing a helmet is just as likely, or more likely, to get injured.

That is not said or implied by the headline.

> The goal is to protect people who already ARE cycling.

If that's true, it's an idiotic and shortsighted goal. We have to do better than that- the goal should be to promote bicycling as a safe and accessible alternative to driving for everyone. 8-year-old children should be free to bike to school unsupervised without the risk of getting hit by a car. Mandatory helmet laws don't solve the problem, they make it worse.

I'm not entirely convinced that the system as is is worth trying to prop up. At least not while preserving the status and role of the same idiots who prove so adept at reinventing and perpetuating the same risky, destabilizing shit every decade.

Your article is statistically naive and doesn't prove anything like what you think it does.

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2015/02/27/safety-in-numbers-bik...

There are so many confounding factors in there that it would be laughed out of the room at any statistician conference.

No, it's not a "testable hypothesis." Maybe you can find a "natural experiment" where two localities are exactly alike, except one has a MHL and the other doesn't: like a city where two school districts with identical demographics are divided by an artificial barrier.

Even in your article, they admit the uncertainties:

> Do more people on bikes cause cycling to become safer, or does safer infrastructure attract more people to bike? There’s no conclusive evidence either way, but the answer is probably a mix of both.
Yes, you can do that. And no one is proposing to change it.

You can also get mugged in the parking lot by the waiter or accomplices once he sees your wad of cash. Carrying cash is risky and cumbersome. This is why banks exist.

Those who don't want to carry cash will now have the new found ability to pay anyone instantly without it.
Hm, well that's not the impression I want to create. I certainly think any human intelligence task can be equaled by an AI at some point, I just feel uncertain about any specific timescale.

And GPT-3 et al has a lot of knowledge, even if it messes up certain expert level details. Rather than comparing against domain experts, my anchor point here is the sort of mistakes that novelists, script writers, and journalists make when writing about any given topic.

Also state what OS you primarily use.
I run OpenBSD on a NUC-like from Seeed studio for this. Don't recall which model, but has a decently strong Atom, dual GigE, plenty of memory and an NVME slot. And Rpi compatable GPIO, which has some interesting possibilities. Has worked flawlessly for several years.
I lament this as well. I wish I could get something shaped like an iPhone 4 again.

While I was initially excited about the release of the iPhone mini, I ended up not buying one because I had bad experiences in the past using apps that were clearly never tested on the smaller screen sizes, and I couldn't trust that it wouldn't happen again.
Well, you see, they've traded end-user performance for productivity. This is why it only takes a team five times as large to deliver the same functionality as a comparable program from the 1990s, and that team can make a buggier initial release in merely twice the time.
I agree, and can we have a discussion in general about homework being included in the grade in general? It's purpose is to help students learn the material, which should be reflected on the test.

If the student can perform well on the test without that, then they shouldn't be forced to do it and penalized when they don't(which you can imagine happens often, as if the student understand the material well enough already the homework is just useless busywork.

If the student can't perform well on the test without that, they will be forced to do the homework. In this case, including homework as part of the grade might be detrimental because they can cheat/copy/us AI to complete homework and boost their grade enough to pass while not understanding the material well enough to pass the tests.

The counter-argument here(that I can think of) is that doing homework, even if - or especially if - it's just easy busywork for the student, prepares them for the future where such tasks will almost always be necessary to succeed. A lot of good learners end up not developing this skill/discipline because they aren't forced to work hard in school, which causes them to fail when faced with tasks/problems that require serious effort, and this would arguably make things more difficult for them. In my opinion this problem would be better addressed by funneling kids into classes that are appropriately challenging for them rather than forcing them to do busywork, but that's a much more difficult thing to do, and also learning to complete easy/"useless" busywork is a related but different skill than learning to focus on and complete challenging tasks
Sure. But if you combine the understanding that this chatbot has with a Wolfram Alpha backend, you could build an even more amazing system. I'm sure someone is working on hooking up language models to math backends (anywhere from a simple calculator to Wolfram Alpha).

No, I mean a company that has generic enough parts for 20 years that a replacement part will be competitively priced and easy to replace. No more specialized tools, 2+ service hours to do a basic job, and all their service jobs have simple instructions with a video on how the customer can do it.. not put into some service manual that cost $400.
Modern macOS is a significant counterexample to that claim. Most of it is janky. Zooming and dezooming the Finder is not something a 2.5 years old MacBook Air (€1200) can keep up with smoothly, for instance. Opening a Save dialog takes over 3 seconds, and expanding/collapsing the file explorer in it is comically janky.
> Imagine feeling sick

No, obviously people who are sick should not be punished for withdrawing.

Instead, I am saying that if someone engages in unsportsmanlike conduct, where you withdraw specifically in relation to, and in a way that damages your opponent, then that should be punished.

> how it is unsportsmanlike by itself

Well if you think for one second, you'd realize that I obviously was not trying to imply that sick people should be punished.

OpenShift is just k8s with batteries included so the batteries are in a real sense a lock-in to the OpenShift community so take that trade-off as you like. I wouldn't mind, but since your initial post was in the fear of lock-ins, this may be a start.

Other examples:
- full spec S3 (the basics are well copied at this point)
- GraphDBs I've found are very different in many ways between cloud vendors
- k8s load balancer bridges are different for each vendor though the big three have more or less feature parity with one another, just different impls

Just as with OpenShift, you'll start to see trade-offs between vendor convenience, 'lock-in', and cost which you'll ultimately have to choose what's more important to your business in the end.
[1] reports on Australian introduction of mandatory cycle helmet laws, and says:

"Pre-law surveys counted 6072 child cyclists in NSW, 3121 cyclists (all ages) in Victoria; and over 200 000 cyclist movements on two key routes in Western Australia. Equivalent counts a year after enforced helmet laws showed declines of 36% (NSW), 36% (Victoria) and 20% (Western Australia). Sunday recreational cycling in Western Australia (24 932 cyclists pre-law) dropped by 38%. Increases in numbers wearing helmets, 1019 (NSW) and 297 (Victoria) were substantially less than declines in numbers counted (2215 and 1110)."

In other words, Victoria started with 3121 cyclists, gained 297 helmets and lost 1110 cyclists.

Are you sure you didn't misread that 4% figure from a source that actually said 40%?

Needless to say, a 20% reduction in head injuries from a 40% reduction in cycling doesn't seem like a very good deal to me.

> “You’re almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard of.”

It's not really "unheard of". Air traffic controllers, employed by the FAA, famously went on strike in the early 80s and were subsequently all fired by the Reagan administration.

In this case, honestly I'd be like "fine, go ahead and try insubordination, and then get fired." As this article makes exceedingly clear, it will be much easier to continue air travel without air marshals than without air traffic controllers, and the US govt still managed that situation pretty decently.

What's the real difference between the government stationing armed soldiers in your town to maintain the peace, and stationing armed police in your town to maintain the peace? The former became unfashionable so it was replaced with the later. Such soldiers were renamed for "PR" but the situation is functionally equivalent. Officially there are some differences, like police being accountable to civilian courts instead of military courts... but I think it is now generally acknowledged that civilian courts have a double standard for police. So this distinction is more theoretical than practical.

In my view, it's fair to consider anybody who carries a gun for the state as a soldier, in an informal sense.
At least from a US perspective, type 1 money also has a digital component, just one only available to banks. I'm not familiar enough with how India's central bank works to know if things are similar, but the concept note makes it sound like it might be.

The accounts that members banks have at the Federal Reserve are legally equivalent to paper money. The banks can exchange part of that account balance for paper money, or exchange paper money for that account balance at any time. To settle debts between banks they almost never cart truckloads of cash between each other, but simply ask the federal reserve banks to adjust their balances accordingly.

This looks a LOT like the layer 2 money that banks create, but it is layer 1.

If RBI works similarly, then it is not really apparent why a wholesale CBDC would have substantial value. Interbank settlement would already occur via balance transfers at the central bank. It is not even remotely clear to me how an "account-based" wholesale CBDC would differ from the status quo at all. The main thing they mention is allowing more conditions to be attached to transactions allowing "programming" the central bank money (presumably in ways similar to "smart contracts"). There is no mention of why that could not simply be done by enhancing the existing systems, but they also point out that it could be a new tech stack from ground up, which suggests that they feel the existing tech stack has flaws.

Retail CBDC would be potentially more interesting, but also far more controversial. Nobody really cares about a central bank keeping a close eye on how banks send money to each other, but a retail CBDC is effectively an attempt to replace cash. There are a lot of issues with that, like people want privacy in cash transactions, but there is no way the bank wants create a new means of money laundering or similar. The fact that many plans for retail CBDCs seem to want desperately to adopt as many crypto currency technologies as possible causes lot of worry. Thinks like losing private keys meaning loss of money (and if intermediaries hold keys instead, you better hope they have really good information security.)

The thing is, a wireless camera costs like $50 these days but car manufacturers will find a way to add it as a $2000 package.
that's fine (or could be :-). I am thinking more about syncing the state of differnt mailboxes, local storage on mobile versus desktop, what is read / unread, user tags and other such things. I.e. how to use the mobile and desktop together as different clients to the same email content.
But, that's not correct either.

MHLs could increase my overall risk of cycling accident enough to offset any gain from wearing the helmet.

There are studies that show drivers go faster and closer to cyclists wearing helmets (vs those without helmets). That alone could increase the risk of deadly car-bike interaction enough to offset the gains from wearing the helmet.

https://www.bicycling.com/news/a25358099/drivers-give-helmet...

Edit - either way, I'm all for separate, protecetetd bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. That's the "real" solution here - get bikes and cars onto different roads and what drivers do or don't do ceases to be a problem (almost, we still get drunken idiots driving down our protected bike paths outside DC).
Oh, there are scores of risky activities that can result in medical costs that some people (libertarians?) would prefer that we didn't socialize.

Incorrect use of OTC drugs; crossing the road while diddling a mobile phone; drinking alcohol; hell, pushing your toddler on a swing in a playground. Perhaps socialized medicine should refuse to treat people who have declined vaccination, or declined a bowel cancer screening. Maybe climbing a ladder should close you off from socialized medical care. Perhaps you shut yourself out if you ever hang out with sick people.

Obviously, I'm not serious.

For me, the big thing about socialized medicine is that it's universal. It's a massive benefit to everyone, if people with people with infectious diseases like TB, diphtheria and cholera can get treatment for free, without producing ID or proof of entitlement. And that's true whether or not they have legal status, as immigrants or whatever.
The PyBricks that the SO questioner self answers with is actually quite capable of doing this, and runs Python to boot.

My understanding is that much of automation difficulties are actually to do with interactions with the physical world. We still don't have a machine for folding laundry that matches human performance.

Coding is nice for AI to overtake because it's all abstract (apart from context). The problem domain is literally just string to string mapping.
Anyway, I only pointed out your own flawed reasoning, or, charitably, unproven assumptions. I gave you the opportunity to give evidence for your assumptions, and you gave none. You instead said many irrelevant things. Asking a question is not the same as promoting an alternative therapy. This should be understood by any rational person participating in a site promoting curious discourse and assuming good faith. If you want to point me to do my own research, that's your choice, although your own severe flaws still remain. Since you have up to now seemed unable to even understand what I am pointing out, let me know and I can explain them to the detail you would require to understand.
I travel quite a bit for both business and personal reasons.

This means I'm driving a rental car for 100+ days a year.

I've tried all the major rental brands and Hertz is a terrible experience even when they're not calling the police on you by mistake. Their systems don't work quite right, there's a bunch of hidden fees, and their customer service is lacking at best.

I swear by Enterprise and purchasing the extra insurance to cover any damages. They've done right by me as a customer across many different cities and locations.

I know that some people are always going to just buy whatever is the cheapest or whatever deal gets them the most points with credit card or whatever. And that seems to be where Hertz makes their money.

But for anyone willing to pay a little more for a good experience and less stress Enterprise is my recommendation.
How does this account for the engineering time, attention, and effort it takes to use these cloud services?

A common sentiment you hear online is that if you're on prem you need to hire specialist to management this software while neglecting the same is still true if you use a cloud provider. You'll still need to hire and train staff that are experts in AWS (or whatever cloud provider you use).

If you're just deploying with containers then I suppose all is good, but isn't the risk still there?
