I really doubt it is. The biggest barrier must be the weather - biking in the cold and rain is just super unpleasant for an average person, especially for errands and commute. I know you can prep, but it's still pain. I gave up due to Seattle rain, and I am not even an average commuter - I'd go on a major hike on a rainy day... but biking in the same weather just sucks so much. And Seattle is mild.

I can see how it can be the 2nd biggest barrier, although for me in Seattle it's the fear of my bike being stolen. Dunno if I'm lucky or what, but the only 2 times I've been in serious cycling accidents it was 100% my fault (both times at 20+ mph passing cars on the left - rear ended another car once, and rode into tram tracks the other). I'm still afraid of cars but not as much as having to uber back in wet cycling clothes if my bike gets stolen :)
Yes, there is a whole series on the influence of Israeli lobbies in university in the UK.

https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2017/1/11/exclusive-israe...

There are also US laws in some states that prohibit divesting of universities from Israel, which were specifically written due to influence by lobbies. They breach the principle of freedom of association of the first amendment.

> you really should never ever use a company like Facebook as a vital component of your business.

Like Facebook - by which you mean Facebook, Google and Twitter, I suppose?

So what are you supposed to do, exactly? Hand out fliers door to door? Create your own social network?

These large corporations have inserted themselves into every single part of our lives as a gatekeeper. They believe that they have no responsibility to actually treat their clients with fairness, and they have made sure of that by having no way to actually reach anyone who can change anything. And yet for a small business, they have no choice.

The system was designed entirely by these big companies to make sure that these big companies could do exactly as they pleased, giving us no recourse except legal action.

What you are doing is called blaming the victim and it isn't very nice. Morally, ethically, _and legally_, this system is wrong. Facebook is the villain here, not this man who used Facebook in exactly the way they advertise to us to do so.

i think policies like this are related to insurance. Like the business insurance agreement dictates all access will be removed asap once a person is no longer an employee of the company. Something like that. It's not a "i don't trust this person so immediately lock their account" kind of situation.

From the 274 page NSF report on sexual harassment/assault in the Antarctic[1]:

>“a very young woman, [who] had never been on the ice before. Somehow, she slipped away from us and went out to the bar . . . and I was like ‘Oh my god, did we forget to tell her she was prey?’” One survey respondent wrote, “I was told [of] certain guys, by name, to stay clear of and there were several guys who harassed me. Hell, my very first day at McMurdo I was told to stay clear of Building [X] unless I wanted to be raped.”

Wow, I had no idea it was this bad. Being stationed at one of these sites is a life-long dream come true for many of these scientists. It must be terrible for the women who learn of this situation when they get out there.

Millions of EVs are now sold per year. It's still a small percent of total car but increasing rapidly and while all other manufacturers are spending time and money building up expertise and infrastructure Toyota is ignoring it.

Switching from ICE to EV is not easy and takes years to do so and the later Toyota delays it the more painful it will be.

How would someone convince the court that you never agreed to the TOS?

For example, I created my account before there was a TOS, and FB used easily-bypassable ways to get users to agree to a TOS, and eventually they stopped asking me, leading me to believe they think I agreed. Without my wet signature on anything, how can they prove I agreed to something when they can just flip a bit and claim their records show I did?

I guess the user would get a notice that FB/Meta filed something and that they could respond saying that's not true?

Hi - CTO of Rerun here.

We just open-sourced Rerun today! It’s still in beta, but we think it’s good enough to be useful. It is built on wgpu, Apache Arrow, my own egui.rs library, and it also runs as Wasm in the browser.

I heard the same thing but then after talking to some owners, sure, the ones that couldn't easily charge them did that, but everyone that could charge them, did, and liked it.

The electric motor is zippy, the car is silent, the range is enough for the average commute.

I feel that all of these "locked out" reports - whether they are from Google or Facebook or something else, suffer from the same problem:

The problem is not, that a false positive happens, or the user does get locked out by an algorithm, etc. - that sort of thing is impossible to avoid entirely. You have to stop bad actors, and you'll never be 100% accurate with that.

Imho the big problem is, that people who get locked out wrongly, have no recourse. There's no support, neither free nor paid, no avenue, absolutely nothing they can do, to get help. THAT's the problem.

People have to resort to trying to go viral, because only then their problem will get fixed.

As a company, that's probably not what you want. To see your false positives cause waves all over the internet... You'd probably want to see those problems be solved silently. But that would require that you offer an avenue for the user to get their problem solved quietly - doesn't it?
The ADL tries to redefine any support for Palestinians as anti-semitism... they're not a credible source of information on the topic. Nor is the Jerusalem Post on this topic, nor is the NY Post on... anything?

I follow a similar pattern. A current employer almost never raises salary commensurate with market rates after 2 or more years.
Increasing interest rates can discourage investment by making it more expensive to borrow money, and by increasing the yield of savings relative to available investment targets.

Corporations seeking investment in this climate might try to attract it by increasing the expected return on investment, which would involve committing fewer resources or achieving greater returns - being "more efficient".

Labour costs are typically one of the main outgoings for a corporation, and so they might try to increase their rate of return by eliminating positions which are considered to be producing too few returns.

The Federal Reserve might want this because they believe (erroneously, in my view) that high employment is the main contributing factor for inflationary pressure.
Or I just have higher standards and expect more than too big to fail, nepotism and endless fucking wars between east and west?

Really weird timing. Israel itself is currently in the midst of protests with multiple foreign Jewish orgs involved. There is even a petition to Supreme Court calling it to remove Netanyahu submitted by an Israeli org that would have been considered a foreign agent in the US due its funding
Climate scientists were called "Doomers" decades ago when they predicted that we will destroy the natural world as we know it with unimaginable consequences for human civilisation. Yet they were right.
So I do not agree with dismissing those concerns. Humanity should rather start imagining the worst case that can come from any given technology and then decide if and how those outcomes can be avoided.

The big problem with AI in my opinion is that it's a technology that can only be controlled by large and powerful corporations. The amount of data needed, as well as the amounts of compute power needed to train and run AI models puts it out of reach for the major part of humanity. Yet AI will control or at least influence every aspect of peoples lives, from hiring decisions to medical treatments to what information they see on the internet. Allowing companies to wield this power unchecked is irresponsible and incredibly dangerous.

Unfortunately, companies like OpenAI are using the fact that politicians don't know enough about technology to even remotely understand how AI works and what regulations would be required to keep it in check. So they will abused it in any way imaginable.

Virtual Optical Table for Quantum Visualization
Many SQL analysts are wasting their skills performing mental and syntactical gymnastics to get around the limitations of SQL in order to grasp at the actual conceptual elegance that lays underneath it. Most people who are writing SQL for a living already understand at least some part of what makes the relational model powerful. But SQL is relatively poor tool for accessing it.

I personally don't find the Sexpr-based syntax of Datomic's variant of Datalog all that useful here, and yeah, maybe someone working in SQL for a living would struggle at first with that syntax.
But it's not intrinsic to the model itself. Have a waltz through my employer's documentation and see what you think: https://docs.relational.ai/rel/primer/overview

I think it's quite understandable (if a bit terse) and many people doing SQL for a living would appreciate the ability to better compose and structure things in this way, not to mention the ability to handle transitive / recursive relationships in a less awkward way.

There are a few crates that abstract the unsafe setup you need for a self referential struct, but I'm not sure which or their status. And they might employ "Pin" for their abstraction, I'm not sure. Pin is basically a wrapper type to keep an object from being moved. The interesting thing is that Pin doesn't receive special compiler treatment for its implementation. It's implemented in normal rust (IIRC).

This story lacks the back story. Musk was prompted to investigate engagement issues about 3 weeks ago by a bunch of people doing the “take your account private” test and nearly all of them reporting increased engagement when private. Musk did it for a day, I personally did not see his result. About 5 days ago he posted about the team fixing two major engagement bugs. Point is he has had them focused on engagement for at least a couple of weeks.

Explain which aspects you need to think about and why, and give a deadline for when you'll have the answer about those particular aspects.

The cases where you genuinely need to "think about it" are few and far between. I would even go as far as saying they are inexistant. The vast majority will be "I don't want to do it, but do I like you enough to do it?".
