No, but better drainage would.

In my sister's ex-subdivision in Houston, the streets were designed to flood, channeling any water away from property and into bayous, rivers, and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. It worked as designed over several tropical storms. The streets were a mess but everybody's home, driveway, and property stayed dry.

NYC needs a similar effort - change the streets and subways to channel water away from property and into the harbor, while providing means to harden the underground parts that can't get wet. It will be crazy expensive, but it's an engineering & construction problem, not a geographic or climate one.
There's a spectrum of difficulty (of problems, not just within them as you note). Low code helps the low end.

I assume phones have to be designed with the earpiece speaker robust enough not to be fried by such a tone, and therefore it must have been around for a long time.

Not a local but drove into Long Island city for a date night in midtown. Wouldn’t have guessed there was a noteworthy problem although there was a lot of rain.
I use Amazon Pharmacy too and it’s one less thing in my life to worry about.

They take insurance and even when insurance doesn’t cover a drug, the prices are comparable to PBM (think GoodRx) rates. Plus shipping is free and next day and I get 5% back with my Prime Visa. They also work with doctors on the backend to get prescription refills — I don’t have to do anything. I haven’t stood in line at a pharmacy for drugs in years (I still go to my local Safeway pharmacy for vaccines though).

The only downside is if you need your drug same-day, Amazon Pharmacy won’t work for you. But otherwise I’ve found it to be cheaper, and way less hassle than visiting a retail pharmacist.
NYC resident here. It is not "crazy bad". Other than the trains not running (which, let's be clear, is unfortunately not super rare), I barely noticed a difference.

Zero-content exaggeration like this is infuriating. Obviously, if you're in an area that got flooded, it may well be the worst thing you've experienced in years. One person cannot speak for a city of 8 million people.

Are you aware of what applications and services are verified by these keys?

> I'm a big fan of hiring an agency if you're a startup – paying $5-10k/mo for a small, outsourced team is way more efficient at this stage than hiring one paid ads specialist.

Agency vs hiring? Yes, it makes sense. But there are A LOT of wonky agencies out there. Don't rely on their promises or even part performance. And be weary of those fond of vanity metrics and such.

Sure, go the agency route, but also do keep them on a shorter leach until they've proven themselves.

I had my fair share of wind turbines on my sailboat. Nothing this guy is taking about is 1) new. 2) novel. 3) revolutionary.

What he’s trying to do is white-wash and “patriot”ize a simple existing technology. Only with half a brain cell so he thinks he’s solving the worlds energy crisis.

Wind turbines are loud. The faster they spin, the louder. The faster they spin the more potential for hazardous blade separation. I once sliced right through a dinghy with one. Imagine if that was little Melody with her stuffed animal.

The future of energy is not physical force pushing propellers to drive alternators, it’s capturing (and harnessing) the power of the sun. Solar panels provide 2-3x the output, none of the physical dangers, and are quieter than an ants whisper.

I agree with you, but the counterargument that'll be made against you is "you should be doing that on the endpoints".

That counterargument ignores the fact that you can be the owner of an endpoint but not be permitted, by manufacturer's policy, to control the software running inside. That's what you get for purchasing a proprietary device.

So, as the network operator and owner of the endpoints in the world of DoH (and pinned certificates), you end up being left with the decision to "vote with your wallet" and simply not purchase devices that don't afford you influence on name resolution (or whatever functionality we're talking about)

The counterargument goes on to say that the manufacturers of these sealed-box devices can functionally do this today anyway simply by implementing their proprietary name resolution (content delivery, etc) protocol.

It was all fun while it lasted.

> "density didn't solve anything!"

It's worth asking, does density solve high cost? Is there evidence for that?

The first reaction is sure, supply and demand. Dense means more supply thus lower cost. But density also brings induced demand.

Where are these very dense cities that are also very cheap?

The two densest cities in the USA are NYC and SF. Neither is known for cheap housing.

This is amazing. The card cage/connectors on the back looks like something from another planet. Are those some kind of Molex clone connectors and each one requires an adapter dongle/cable to interface to standard connectors? Wild.

Curious about the details on this.
Yes, but further into the article it seems to get more concerning - wheels falling off and brake failure, repeatedly.

It seems like there may be more to this than ‘just’ angry, bereaved parents.
TLDR:

It will be exponentially easier to pass (even federally) than any prescriptions I've suggested.

That said, my point was the consequence of such a law would be much worse than doing nothing.

Long Version:

If we did nothing, inflation will effectively bring the current minimum wage down to zero given enough time.

Whereas if we set a federal minimum wage of $25/hr (current inflation adjusted), it will have disastrous downstream consequences.

I've touched on this in my OP. You are dictating by fiat that every human must have a minimum economic value of X.

You'll be de-facto robbing a huge chunk of the population of an honest life with dignity and prohibiting any types/classes of businesses that rely on unskilled/low value labor.

Also if you study history you realise its exactly these types of laws that create black markets and racketeering. Similar to lets say cannabis, you cant just wish the demand away..

It gets even worse, when you do this by industry like the California law. The state basically becomes the kingmaker. Its just a bunch of euphemisms for basically putting their thumb on the scale against large fast food chains.

I live in Brooklyn. It's.... as bad as Ida was 2 years ago, maybe slightly less.

My cellar flooded, but I was able to pump it out as the storm drains caught up. I've changed some plumbing in prep -- Ida I took 2' in the Cellar, today I had about 2" when I was able to pump out.

The most dangerous thing is cellar apartments (of which there are many illegal) that can flood quickly.

I remember once that I was at a Boston Perlmongers meetup, probably early January 2005, and commenting that someone needed to tell ESR that he wasn't God's gift to women.

Everyone laughed. I went on to share a cringy story of ESR hitting on my then-wife. Which inspired a woman present to speak up and share a story of ESR hitting on her. Which lead to the next and then next story, until every last woman in the room shared their own ESR story.

I was astounded. I'm hardly the biggest fan of political correctness. But to the extent that political correctness is a backlash, ESR represents what it is a backlash against.
Best attempt at an explanation of how it works that I’ve seen so far:

It’s totally possible for many of us. I simply own a domain at Namecheap and hit their dynamic IP update endpoint to set the dns to point to my currently assigned IP. Mine only changes with router resets and such. I also forward some ports from my router to my machine’s IP and set my machine to always get the same internal IP.

Docker with WSL2 runs fine and I use it for my light dev needs on my personal windows machine. Running K8s is the issue.

WSL just had lots of instability issues in my experience when I had to run a handful of services for debugging stuff locally. I tried all sorts of configs to get it to work but it was inconsistent at best. Tons of wasted time. Enough so that our teams got work to get us macs instead (we were a windows shop spinning up a new cloud product - so windows didn’t really make sense as our daily driver anymore anyways). This was about 2 years ago. Maybe things are better now but 6 months of dealing with that instability was enough to sour me.

One of my least popular opinions, on the internet and in real life, is that you should have to be licensed to drive vehicles on the road. Including bikes. Not saying it's the same requirements to drive a car as it is to ride a bike, but just pretending you don't need to learn anything to ride a vehicle in traffic—especially a motorized one like an ebike—doesn't make sense to me. FWIW, I'm an avid bike rider, I just think it's hypocritical at best and dangerous at worst to say (as my jurisdiction does) that bikes are vehicles with all the rights and responsibilities of a car... but hey, you don't actually have to know what those rights and responsibilities are to drive one... or even prove you know how to operate the vehicle... just hop on and get goin'!
My experience has been that people are pretty good about recycling cans and plastic bottles. But, the pods might see less compliance. People get iffy if they think something is too dirty to be recycled, and maybe it is, so they have to open it and rinse it first, which also doesn't help compliance...

Oh no. Anyway.
>When you add these 20-25mph+ ebikes

I know you're talking in general, but this specific case, the Rad bike DOES NOT exceed 20mph under motor power. I own a different model than the one in this case, but mine stops powering the motor at 19.8mph. It is not possible for the bike to go faster than that under power. If they've modified the bike in any way to bypass that limit, that's not the manufacturer's fault. Clearly, this road has a pretty decently steep hill. That would easily make it possible to reach speeds greater than 20mph, but it would not be under power of the motor. At this point, it's not any different from a non-eBike. The fact that this particular bike was an eBike is just a red herring to me.

So, stressing that a bike can go 20-25mph+ is misdirection. Any bike going down the incline described in TFA can reach those speeds. Parents not exercising parental controls and allowing their kids unsupervised activity in known dangerous conditions need to accept some responsibility.

it seems slightly weird to me to be blaming the bike here. bikes experience failures, that’s true of any bike. a more complicated bike has more failure points.

I’ve been riding in NYC for over 10 years and the ebike situation is getting ridiculous. People buy a bike that lets them ride fast with no training, and then ride like they are in a Terry Barentsen “Hotline” video (Google it).

Except unlike the people in those videos, they have no skill at all. “Unearned speed” is the term in cycling communities.

I’m genuinely surprised there aren’t more deaths. Blowing red lights without even looking, salmoning, texting while riding, it’s insane.
I understand the poll is misrepresented but I find the proposition to be extremely anti-human in the first place — climate change is a real threat, but any directives need to take in to consideration the death and misery caused by restricting the opportunity to travel freely.

The focus should be on reducing the average emissions for each mile travelled — reducing private flights, improving electrified road and rail networks and improving the economy of commercial flights.

I would also wager that the political and high business class would also not face this restriction should something like it ever come to exist.
> Unfortunately we don't have the infrastructure or dedicated, separated bike lanes that make them safe.

How much risk does an ebike going 25mph+ pose to a cyclists on a regular bike, or a pedestrian? I know all of the bike paths near where I live ban any vehicle with a motor.
Thank you. I look forward to reading them.
It's pretty easy to get out of control on a descent in any type of motorized or non motorized vehicle on the hills in the area described when one has little experience. We don't prepare adults for this with cars or children with bicycles, a motorized bicycle however lets one dig a much deeper hole momentum-wise than one would otherwise be capable.
