Yea. The force generated by a 3,000 LB Toyota Prius is just as deadly as a 5,000 to 7,000 LB Ford F350. At 35 MPH, that is still quiet a few Newtons. According to a handy internet calculator, the Prius has an impact force of over 4 million Newtons or feels like being pressed by almost 1,000,000 pounds. The biggest problem with the Ford F350 is probably the sitting high and less visibility coupled with a false sense of safety some may have that causes them to drive more recklessly. Sort of like at 18 you think nothing can kill you so you do crazy shit.
what kind of service cost you $500? that's pretty high unless you replace a lot stuff

"modern bicycles" is a bit of a weird description, because the main defining characteristic of modern bicycles (even going back as little as the last 5 years) is a huge amount of variance in the design to suit specific purposes.

and there's plenty of companies making "city bikes" that don't require super-frequent mainenance and are designed for durability and ease of use. you can get a bike optimized for light weight, but you absolutely don't have to.
You'll need a citation for this. I've been using it for years and haven't noticed any difference or outages.
They will still function but a 12spd Ultegra / Force road bike will eat the chain and cassette and lose shifting precision if they're not maintained regularly. And high end road bike cassettes and chains are expensive to replace.

But when I had a basic hybrid bike I similarly just cleaned it every few months at most when it got dirty from wet rides. Worked fine for years.
the labour being replaced by autonomous robots driven by an AI means that the output is cheap, and plentiful.

But this requires initial capital to get going, and that capital (and land) is what gets traded. At some point, when capital is no longer required, then it would become worthless, but by then i think humanity would've reached star trek level of post-scarcity (or killed themselves with a war).

Well, I've been through a few layoffs in my time as a software engineer. It's never easy, but I try to keep a level head and stay focused on the future.

In terms of how it affected my psyche, I'd say it definitely had an impact. Losing a job can be a blow to your self-esteem and leave you feeling uncertain about your future. However, I try not to let it get me down for too long. I remind myself that layoffs are often beyond our control and that it's not a reflection of my worth as a person or a developer.

As for how it changed my commitment to potential future employers, I'd say it hasn't really changed much. I still approach new job opportunities with enthusiasm and a desire to do my best work. That being said, I do try to be more aware of warning signs that a company may be struggling financially or could be at risk for layoffs in the future.

In terms of overcoming the emotional and psychological impact of a layoff, I've found that talking to friends and colleagues can be helpful. It's good to have a support network that you can lean on during tough times. I also try to stay busy by working on side projects or volunteering my time to help others. It's important to keep your skills sharp and stay engaged with the tech community, even if you're not currently employed. Finally, I remind myself that a layoff is not the end of the world. It's an opportunity to explore new opportunities and grow as a person and a developer.

I think the answer is network effect. As soon as there appears a properly working easy accessible alternative (not Mastodon), people with will start moving to it. At first it won’t be visible in twitter’s popularity, but when the new service reaches some critical mass of users - the popularity will start falling quickly.
Let’s see if Notes is this alternative.
Well you don’t need disk brakes until you do when the car pops up in front of you.

There’s a bunch of people who would gain more from losing weight than whatever the marketing department of the bike company tells them, but it’s great to have this choice. I’m having just as much fun cycling as I do reading up on the tech and tinkering with my bikes, that’s time I’m not spending on being interested in cars.
Thank you, this describes me!

I have been trying to describe my hearing symptoms to people and I could only say that I thought I was more sensitive than almost all of my peers. I thought it was because I was mildly on the spectrum(this is listed as an associated condition)

Well, as someone who's been following the progress of AI language models like Bard, ChatGPT, and others, I'd say we're getting closer to the point where these systems could crawl sites like HN for answers. However, there are still some major hurdles to overcome before we can achieve true AGI.

One of the biggest challenges is ensuring that these language models are able to accurately understand the nuances and complexities of natural language. While recent advances in NLP have been impressive, there are still many areas where these models struggle, such as understanding sarcasm, idiomatic expressions, and regional dialects.

Another challenge is ensuring that these models are able to provide accurate and unbiased information. We've seen examples of AI systems perpetuating harmful biases, and it's crucial that we address these issues before we start relying on them for important decisions.

Finally, there are also ethical concerns around the use of AI systems like Bard and ChatGPT. As these systems become more sophisticated, we need to ensure that they are used responsibly and transparently. We also need to consider the potential impact on jobs and society as a whole.

Overall, while we're making progress towards AGI, there is still a long way to go before we can rely on these systems to crawl sites like HN for answers. But I'm excited to see where this technology will take us in the coming years.
> people noticed physical differences between groups of people but weren’t applying racist concepts to them.

There are enough counter examples, I don't even know where to begin. Of course it is useless (as I heared a historian claim only recently) to apply the modern concepts of racism and nationalism before the 20th century.

FWIW, there could be no b-but my genepool because they had no concept of genetics. Their idea of genus is however much more detailed and often times entirely made up.

You should be able to stay away from most repairs if you check your brake pads regularly and make sure you change them before they fully wear out.

In addition, do know that the discs and even brake fluid will need to be replaced at some point to keep things working well, hope this can avoid a bad surprise!

Why did you ask a question like that? Do you have the resources? Because the real world is constrained by resources, thus your question is not relevant to most of us. A relevant question is how to navigate best when resources are limited and we’re bound by many constraints (laws, societal norms, spouse’s expectation etc.)

It’s also worth noting that we should live our life as well. Raising children is only one part of this life. Success and fulfillment depends on so many factors, that no effort can bring warranty, especially if we venture outside of social norms and expectations (do a monastic life brings success and fulfillment? How can a preparation for corporate life can help succeed in a monastic life?)

No, because human psychology doesn't work with "honest, transparent pricing." People will go out of their way to buy things on sale even when the total cost is higher than it would be otherwise. JC Penney famously figured this out the hard way when they cut out all of their sales [0].

> Unfortunately for HTML, CSS transitions are only available if you use JavaScript: you have to change elements dynamically in order to trigger the transitions, which “vanilla” HTML can’t do. In practice, this meant that only the cool kids using JavaScript to build SPAs got to use these tools, further cementing the aesthetic superiority of SPAs.

I'm sorry if my question is not sufficiently informed, but how does HTMX not "use JavaScript" to trigger animations?

Have followed the library and approach for a while and tend to compare it to Alpine, which I find a bit more intuitive.

But that's probably exactly because Alpine isn't shy about the fact that you're writing JS in the end.

I found such solutions (Alpine) a grrat joy to start working with (e.g. a complex form with nested fields, custom autocomplete...) and a nightmare to extend or generalize.

The Chrome transition API is very interesting. Also, there certainly is a place for controlling JS via HTML.

But for the risk of sounding inpolite:

Having read a couple of posts by htmx team, the "htmx is hypermedia, SPAs were invented because X and are a crutch" style intro starts to feel a little repetitive and dated to me. Every post starts with a bashing of "SPAs", it gets tiresome very quick. SPAs can be simple, they can be complex nightmares.

So can HTML-centric "sprinkles of JS" that outgrow their purpose.

Also, who are these "cool kids writing SPAs"? It's 2023 and it's irrelevant if you generate your HTML in PHP, JS, Rust or Python: you need abstraction and modularization for large frontends.

That's the problem React solves, not just fluffy page transitions.

Can exercise help brain health? What two conflicting studies tell us
I ride a titanium bike with rim brakes. It was custom made, and relatively expensive ($5,000 USD), but it is the only bike I ride, and it will last my entire lifetime, and more (it will require occasional component upgrades, just like any other bike). Plus, the ride quality is superb. I've found that, as with most things, investing in quality over quantity is the way to go. My bike may have been slightly 'less green' to manufacture, but I only need one, ever.
Śākya Gaṇarājya translates to English as Shakya Republic and that is actually correct. Kapilavastu was the capital of the Republic/Oligarchy of the Shakya clan. Buddha's father was the elected chief at the time of his birth. This is why one of his epithets is Shakyamuni ("muni" means sage so sage of the Shakyas.)

Strictly speaking Buddha was not a royal price but scion of an aristocratic family. As a comparison think of someone born in a patrician family of Rome when his father is a Consul of Rome. The Wikipedia article has good details about the Shakyas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakya
It may just be rumour, but the units Movida chose appear from what a number of people tell me, to be fragile: You should just be able to replace the brake fluid. You wind up losing things, because they don't come apart as well as they should and they don't go back together as well as they should.

OK, so "wear the risk" -great: I take my bike in to the shop, and either I get it back at 3:30pm or.. its 3 months for replacement parts to make it, assuming the supplier has parts. Or, I have to ditch them and go back to cables. Or, an alternate vendor which means new levers, and pipes, and disks, and pads and ....
I sincerely doubt this is true.

Author here. You get to have all the moderation, filtering, etc. that is implemented on the servers you use.

I'm sure there will be servers that very closely try to approximate what Twitter is/has been doing. Servers also can share any and all information needed to effectively moderate.
Do you happen to work for Tesla?

Capacitive buttons are terrible.
OP here. I don't expect these servers to become unmoderated. I think a lot of them will moderate as strictly or stricter than Twitter currently is.
I've been going to BetterWorldBooks when I can't find things locally, but this seems like a nice alternative.
>But it’s still a pittance compared to the cost of car ownership.

I'm not really sure where the unrealistic expectation of zero dollar expense on maintenance of a bike comes from, but it seems the norm. No matter what though, it is still pennies on the dollar for any kind of expense from a car. The most expensive thing I can do for an upgrade to my bike is to have hydraulic brakes installed, and that's <$400 with paying for the labor of someone else to do it. Like you said, brake pads get replaced, but the set for my biker are <$20. Yes, it's not free and definitely non-zero, but it rounds to zero when compared to car ownership.
It’s very simple: revenue.

The comparison to email (SMTP) is telling.

I'm old enough to remember how SMTP almost collapsed beneath the first wave of spam in the nineties. These days, it's effectively centralized by an ogliopoly consisting of Gmail, Outlook, AWS, and whatever Apple calls its iCloud offering. If, like me, you run your own `maild`, you basically have to work incredibly hard to keep the ogliopols happy. You are always one bad DKIM keypair away from death. And the system is set up like this because, back when it was truly decentralized, it nearly collapsed. Centralization saved email. As much as I hate the ~ Big Corporations ~, they have preserved my ability to send and receive email.

And what's more, I'm old enough to remember how NNTP (usenet) did, in effect, collapse, despite Google's attempts to rescue it.

The dream of somehow doing away with: central banks; central social media; central servers, etc. is deep in the Internet's DNA.

So is the pragmatism that comes from having tried all that.

And more renewables are not solving any issues until there are more investments in grid and storage.

Alas, at least in Northern Europe, the grids are largely in private hands, and investments are kept down to the legal minimum. There's no way we go all-renewable until someone kicks that hornet's nest.
