Unfortunately apple doesn't have courage to cannibal their other devices contrary to Steve Jobs that allowed iPhone kill iPod. Which is weird considering Macs (especially iMacs and Macs mini) are really tiny part of their revenue and apple is trying to diversify and earn from services. They sell just around 25m macs per year comparing to 250m iphones. MacOS still has around 10% market share. They definitely have big opportunity to grow here and move more people to their ecosystem.

Similarly with Apple TV - great specs and cheap device but too much restricted. Wish they make tvOS more open, apple TV having at least one usb-c port and allow to add some magnetic modules to add smart speaker, router, local backup (with removable ssd), wireless charging for smart devices.

Vision isn't really designed for urban outdoor use, which is obvious from the more detailed videos of people trying it (ie, moving backgrounds turning off windows, the motion stuff walking etc).

> Cyclists act like cyclists, and are more or less predictable when treated as such.

Except when they ignore stop signs and blow through an intersection when it's not their turn, causing a car that has the right of way and is already in the intersection to slam on their brakes to try to avoid killing the cyclist, resulting in the car losing traction due to the weather conditions and to slide into a tree. Saw it happen in front of my eyes just a few days ago.

Or when to avoid stopping behind a car that was already in the turn lane in front of them, they hop up on the sidewalk and then cut off the car via the sidewalk, nearly running down several pedestrians. That one was earlier this afternoon.

Cyclists and pedestrians are not the same, and should not be treated the same, or interchangeably. I agree that the way that infrastructure is set up right now is terrible for cyclists. But it is how things are right now, and ignoring that is silly. It's not at all that different from how having pedestrians and cyclists sharing the same roadway is also not the best of ideas.

But in addition, you know those signs they have up on the side of the road, the "Share the Road" ones? Sharing goes both ways.

> Cyclists have a bad rep in SF because many (not all) ride quite dangerously.

Cycling in the US is almost by definition riding dangerously, since there are very few places with actual safe bicycle infrastructure. This is a self-selecting pressure, because it means that the only cyclists that actually dare to cycle in the city are risk-takers.

> I live adjacent to a four-way stop and there's an incident where a cyclist fails to yield nearly hourly.

You can blame the cyclist or perhaps a four-way stop with a nearly hourly cyclist incident needs to be redesigned.
as a game developer: they really are. the finer details are different, but the primary mode of interaction is pretty much the same. you bob and weave around rapidly while shooting at enemies who shoot back at you and a lot of the locations you fight your way through are pretty similar structurally to classic doom levels. they even have somewhat similar music styles.

it's not bad for them to have the same fundamentals! it's important to recognize our roots and know the difference between something truly and fundamentally different vs something that is just extremely refined and iterated.
One more on ADHD eye movements from an interesting study that used VR in a novel way:

Based on these studies, ADHD manifests as deficits of goal-directed attention, such as reduced ability to suppress saccades, less accurate saccades to target location, and difficulties in maintaining fixation on a target object.

And I am willing to concede that on a bike, as long as you are just slow rolling and not impinging on the right of way such that it confuses other drivers, it's fine. But I have also seen plenty of cyclists who slow roll into the middle of the lane and then act indignant when they get honked at for blocking traffic; At that point, there's very little difference from having just blown through the intersection at full speed.

I feel like Waymo would have said something if it was the former, no?

Since there's a bike lane on 17th street, it's possible that the cyclist entered the intersection parallel to the truck on the bike lane but the truck overtook it. It's even possible that the cyclist was in the crosswalk for some reason...

Any accident involving a self driving car is already reported to regulators (CA DMV and NHTSA). It’s required by law. These records end up in a public database.

What’s not public is the video footage. It’s still shown to the regulators when they want to examine, it’s just not publicly released.

You are just proving my point. You are pro-autonomous vehicle so you are interpreting the few facts we know in way that benefits your side of the debate.

Referencing the cyclist not being seriously hurt is the most obvious example. It doesn't take much for a car to seriously injure a cyclist. It often just comes down to luck of the cyclists physical position and where they fall. Onto the hood of the car is safest, but they could have easily been caught under the vehicle, pushed into other traffic, or dangerously thrown down to the pavement. A cyclist walking away from this collision doesn't necessarily mean the next time a Waymo hits a cyclist will be just as safe. If there is some fault in the system that increases the odds of it hitting a cyclist (something that is impossible for us to know) it would be only a matter of time until an unlucky cyclist gets seriously hurt.

Well, voters are still idiots: even with the accidents in Chernobyl and Fukushima accounted for, nuclear power still kills far fewer people per Joule than basically any other form of power generation. And that includes renewables. (Though large scale solar doesn't look nearly as bad, if you separate out residential rooftop solar into its own category.)

The German reactors are also of a design that can not have the kinds of accidents they had in those two examples.

> I live adjacent to a four-way stop and there's an incident where a cyclist fails to yield nearly hourly.

When I see systematic things like this I often get suspicious and think there is something more going on (or selection bias. We are human). I think the common model is attributing actions to reckless behavior and people not thinking. This very well may be true! But if people are consistently engaging in a specific behavior (reckless or not) there's usually a reason to it. Reason doesn't mean good reason btw, and it can be as dumb as the previous chimps getting hosed every time they try to get the banana, but that's still a reason. I think if the underlying reason can be found it significantly increases the chances of rectifying the situation.

> Until more evidence comes out I'll be taking Waymo's side here.

Until more evidence I'm holding out on taking a side. I think Waymo's safety record is orthogonal to the conversation as with the general safety record of driverless cars (which I am a big fan of fwiw).
They never opened up iPad for general purpose computing. iPad and iPhones for that matter could easily power laptop and desktop devices if Apple wanted them to.
Directly? Don't know that I have. But just a few days ago I saw someone that had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting a cyclist that did not have right of way through an intersection, slide off the road into a tree. I don't know if they were injured physically, but the financial damage was probably not insignificant.
Right, honestly I shouldn't have posted the 2 sentence version, and we'd need to have a beer and an hour to even begin understanding now that I started from there.

>> The amount of time spent on things such as linting, selecting the correct library for server routing, the correct server, coding standards,

I don't fully agree here. Those points are pretty straight forward and coding standards (not formatting, for TS prettier is pretty standard, btw.) need to be defined even in Go projects. Also, Deno has much of the setting up solved.

>> basic error-handling and enforcing it with a custom error or Result type to get out of this nested try/catch hell which still loses the majority of errors.

Fully agreed. Maybe I have a big lack of understanding of error handling in NodeJS, but how on earth do I find out what functions can throw errors and what are the errors thrown? If someone could enlighten me I'd be really grateful. To be on the safe side I would need to run my whole code in a try..catch block. How to decide how to handle different errors if I don't know which errors can occur? On the other hand, just yesterday I had to debug a Rust panic in a smallish code base. Even with stacktraces turned on it took half an hour to find out where there error occurred. Still, Go and Rusts error handling is much better. IIRC, in Java you see all types of exceptions that can occur in the docs of a function?

>> Setting up testing and mocking. Setting up Prisma

Again, not a big thing IMO. If you like an ORM, Prisma is one of the best.

>> Don't get me wrong, I really do like Typescript.

Yeah, that's the thing. Typescript is such a fantastic language. Writing Go feels like using a hand-axe. Typescript's null handling alone makes it 10 times better (I hope everyone is using it, but that underlines your point regarding the conventions needed ...). I recently found a lib that gives us compile time checked pattern matching like in Rust.
There will always be people who take a small subset of functionality of your product and push them to the limit to create new use cases. So there will definitely be the nerdy types trying to see how far they can push it outdoors and IRL. Even if it's off label use.

I don't know how to parse this comment. Why would the US give up on Taiwan "before it gets serious". If the US is involved in a shooting conflict in the Taiwanese strait, they either win or lose it conventionally but if it happens at all then nukes aren't getting involved unless mainland territorial invasions go on the table - and they're not going to.

The reality is the US would very much like to avoid having to negotiate that situation: far easier to arm Taiwan to the teeth with AA and anti-shipping missiles, and let them take care of it.

EDIT: It's also worth noting nukes aren't the only deterrent forces. It's one thing to "know" that the US Navy isn't going to get involved...it's quite another to conduct an invasion of an ally while well inside the missile engagement range of the US Navy on the assumption that's actually true.
They’re usually first year graduate students. Or fresh out of undergrad.
There is scant to zero literature to suggest exercising raises metabolism. Recent research by Herman Pontzer shows the opposite, that calories burned with exercise are negated later through lowered BMR and NEAT. So if you do a 400-calorie run and then eat a 400 calorie cookie, you will still get a net 400 gain, or close to it.

You could achieve a constant NEAT by having a daily step goal or some prescribed amount of activities outside your exercise routine. I am supposed to do 2 hours of exercise per day plus give or take 10K steps. This can easily make me extremely active by American standard.

Now, surely your BMR will compensate, but probably only to a certain point.

In the end, it's probably easier to just eat healthy and eat less rather than trying to increase your caloric expenditure, but that's also rather hard to do for a variety of reasons.
> Apple declined to provide an early review unit to The New York Times

I really wonder if Apple's PR department really knows the major tech reporters at various publications inside out, knows their general attitude towards Apple, and then decides whether or not to provide them with a review unit. Brian X. Chen is a long time reporter and Apple could have predicted in advance that his review would be mostly negative. Perhaps that's why they didn't provide a review unit for him. Certainly Apple is shrewd enough to pull this off.

> Americans really don't want to live in this kind of society.

What's crazy is I don't think this is true. I think Americans think they want a car-centric society, and we've structured so much of society to reduce our freedom to chose the alternative.

Where do Americans like to vacation? Walkable places. What cities and suburbs are regularly the most expensive and desirable in their area? Walkable ones. We built malls and commercial developments that provide walkability within a suburb. Literal Disney's fantasy main-street is just modeled on the walkable core of a suburb. Americans will say that cars give them freedom to go anywhere, then complain all the good places don't have enough parking.

Americans will tell you that college is the best time of their life, and it's largely because everyone was within walking distance to their social life, their job (classes), and their home. They eschew the commitment of vehicles, and they live close to others, and with less stuff.

Anyways, I guess I'm jealous you get to live in Japan, because I totally wish that America could invest in our transit like Japan has.
