This is a part of the national design language of the roads in The Netherlands.

Almost universally the following two rules hold: pedestrians walk on a raised pavement next to the road, and through roads have priority.

To compliment those existing rules, exits from side streets where pedestrians on the through road have priority include a raised hump that brings motorists up to pavement level. That emphasizes that it is the motorist who is crossing into a pedestrian area, where pedestrians have priority. The pedestrian footpath is continuous, while the car road is interrupted.

Here's a typical example of the "exit construction" with continuous footway: https://rijbewijshulp.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Uitrit-7...

And an obvious added benefit is that motorists will slow down for the speed bump.

The author phrases this a bit awkwardly without really making a point. But what I think they are saying is that because the footpath isn't continuous despite the raised bump this is not a typical exit construction, and pedestrians on the through road don't have priority. Even though most motorists would yield to them anyway because of the shark's teeth on the cycle path.

I think it's debatable if the pavement is continuous or not, I would say "kinda". But either way the intersection in the article is not a "typical" example of the exit construction.
Not necessarily, but if from the first few lines I already spot the whole narrative bare a few minors cliffhangers which are not that thrilling, the text will have to bring something damn impressive on the form, like "oh wow, 200 wit rhymes in a row, you are definitely grand-master here and I love how you intertwined it all". Similar for cinematographic arts.

Art works are not great due to their interactive responsiveness, but because they resonate with the self in an intimate manner regardless of the artifices it use to do so.

Most people get their Bossche Bol at Jan de Groot, which is like a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes by bike from the intersection. Beware that there always is a big queue at Jan de Groot because it's very popular. You can also go to a Jumbo supermarket in 's-Hertogenbosch or Rosmalen as they usually sell the exact same Bossche Bol from this bakery.

Russia is pursuing low stakes, plausibly deniable, minor nuisance actions against the EU and U.S. It does enough to fool itself internally that it has a great enemy in The West, to which it is bravely standing up.

The purpose of this is to unite enough of the domestic population to suppress dissent and keep the current regime in power.

The reality is that it is actually at war with only one small neighbor, which is going so badly that they have had to import troops from North Korea. Embarrassing.

If they actually engaged in war with the EU, more specifically a member of NATO, they would lose quickly. So they stay well back from that line.
"Bikes hitting pedestrians (ex: children wandering out on to the bikelane) is a much larger safety concern than bikes being hit by cars."

what? there are many orders of magnitude more injuries and deaths from bikes being hit by cars than there are from pedestrians being hit by bikes. Even when a pedestrian is hit (which is rare- both are highly nimble), it is very rare that it is problematic because a bike carries so little momentum
Which you can store just fine in-memory in a normal data structure. And if you need advanced query capabilities or a query planner there is DuckDB. Using Redis seems like you get most of the disadvantages of having to run a whole database with few of the advantages.
I wish car testing was less about the safety of the people inside of the car and more about the safety of the people outside of it, like pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles.

After all, people buying a car already have a strong incentive to purchase something that is safe for themselves, but how many people put any thought into reducing the risk that the force upon others?

For context, pedestrian and cycling deaths have increased for the past decade in North America [0] and it is known that tall blunt hoods increase fatalities [1]. Yet, nothing is being done about it in NA as far as I know.

Needs (2018) in the submission title.
Spending a little time in Japan, it is hard not to see the general difference in size of vehicle compared to what I'm used to seeing in the US. I'm incredibly curious to know if other nations have similarly small cars compared to the states?

I'm also very curious on other impacts the vehicle sizes have on things. Easy to think it contributes to so many cyclist with basically no helmets. Curious if data backs that.

Perhaps some more generous explanations for the rapid tuition growth between 2000 and 2010:

- UC Merced was established in 2005, so I buy the argument on that point regarding investment in infrastructure.

- In 2009, the state's general funds accounted for $2.6 billion, compared to just under $3 billion in 2006. Student fees in that timeframe rose from $1.55 billion to $2 billion, tracking fairly closely with the corresponding shortfall in state funding. [0, 1] Yes, these numbers are also cherrypicked as a representative budget right before the GFC and shortly after, but they represent neither peak funding nor the overall sharpness of the budget cuts. So, I reject the claim that the tuition hikes in the aftermath of the GFC was due to increased borrowing costs for the UC system. I think a more mundane explanation is that the state had a budgetary shortfall due to less taxes being collected (income, property), and made cuts across the board; the UC system raised student fees to compensate.

https://thebottomline.as.ucsb.edu/2017/10/a-brief-history-of... provides an overview of how tuition at UCs evolved up through 2017, although it gets the state funding amounts off by 3 orders of magnitude (since the linked governor's budget is measured in thousands of dollars).

Sure. In an ideal world. But let's be real here. FB or Microsoft or Amazon will buy it. Do the same shi*y things google were doing (in fact, probably more) and consumers will have even more worse experience. Cos only these companies have the resources.

Not to mention, Its impossible for Chrome to be a standalone business without being even more outrageous to consumers. And they will be even more evil against users. Mark my words.

If we do this like this, we are just replacing the logos of companies that own Chrome. Not the end result. We need to fix the root cause.
The problem nowadays is not the interaction between cyclists and motorists but more between ebikes and normal bikes (on the same pathway)

The Fantasy of Cozy Tech
> See, for example, dual carriageways. Technically everyone has a right to use them by any means (they have paid for it, after all), but you'd be crazy to walk/cycle down one.

I regularly cycle along the dual carriageway part of the A370. Whilst I get that it can be unnerving for most cyclists, dual carriageways are well designed for cycling along as they typically have great visibility (drivers can see you from a distance) and there's a whole lane for drivers to overtake safely.

> Fourth notice that every part of the road network is designed to make it easier for cars at the detriment of pedestrians and cyclists. Why does a pedestrian need to press a button to cross the road? Why, upon pressing the button, must the pedestrian wait to cross? Why doesn't the light cycle start immediately? There is absolutely no sense at all in making the pedestrian wait. But everyone is used to it and doesn't question it; it's just the way it is. But what it does is makes being a pedestrian a third class status. It's these little things, like having to sit at the back of the bus, that chip away at people's ability to feel like an equal member of society. If you walk or cycle you are under no illusion that you come second to cars. It's little wonder people choose the car if they can.

I think a big part of the problem is that politicians are heavily influenced by car/oil lobbyists. What we need are brave politicians that are forward looking and have a vision.

By the way, I like to refer to the pedestrian crossing buttons as "beg buttons".

And things got much worse in the latter part of 2024. Even if the court didn't take into account facts after 20 May 2024, ample evidence already existing by then was already enough to issue the warrants. When it takes more evidence into account I bet more warrants will be issued.

So then why doesn't this argument apply to AI? Why do people think AI is gonna be worthless?
Not just you. Clearly useful tools coming out of this AI crazy, but a LOT of fluff.

Outside of pure tech companies, there's a lot of "Head of AI" hiring by CTOs to show "we are doing AI" regardless of if they have found any application for it yet.

I've also seen a lot of product pivots to AI where they don't really have a need or explanation for the use case that AI helps with.

Further I've seen a number of orgs that were laggards in their internal technology become incredibly distracted thinking AI will solve for them not having even a proper rudimentary 2010s class IT org.

I think the comedown from this will be worse than crypto as while there will be more real use cases, there is far more hype based "we have to do something" adoption that hasn't found a use yet. A lot of orgs that remained weary of crypto got fully on the AI bandwagon. Investment must be an order of magnitude more.

The problem I hit with that game is that it was too suggestible, and led me down false paths based on wrong hunches.

The problem with this game is it railroaded me into its desired narrative structure; e.g. [spoilers] the first thing I did was say to search the entrance for fingerprints but I hadn't "discovered" the glass yet so it didn't count. Then later it ignored my attempt to find a corroborating witness, and came up with the trial demonstration on its own.

I don't understand your point. The lesson is "don't rely on magic strings, instead rely on exported and documented constants, otherwise your code might break".
> A mindset I've had in the past is that "if it's hard, then that means you've hit your ceiling and you're wasting your time." But really, the opposite is true. If it's easy, then it means you already know this material, and you're wasting your time.

It’s a well-established effect in pedagogics that learning vs. difficulty has a non-monotonic relationship, where you don’t learn efficiently if the material is either too hard or too easy compared to your current level. There is an optimum learning point somewhere in-between where the material is “challenging” – but neither “trivial” nor “insurmountable” – to put it that way.

Interesting, I somewhat of an opposite reaction, although I am certainly not a mathematician. Once everything became definitions, my eyes glazed over - in most cases the rationale for the definitions was not clear and the definitions appeared over-complicated.

It took me some time, but now it's a lot better -- like a little game I somewhat know the rules of. I now accept that mathematicians are often worrying about maximal abstraction or addressing odd pathological corner cases. This allows me to wade through the complexity without getting overwhelmed like I used to.

Ask HN: Infra for Meeting Recording
There are lots of these AI meeting note tools (Granola, Krisp.ai, Amie.so), they are all great.

I want to embed this capability into my app.

Is there anyone who has seen any kind of white-labelling of the tech?

I see an emergent need for domain specific instances of the underlying capability, where it is embedded as infra into a vertical specific workflow app.

These apps have a few great features

1. Runs locally, so no need to have a notetaker join the meeting.

2. Because it installs locally as an "app", it can sync into calendar and notifications, and is aware of meetings across various apps, regardless of what software is used for the meeting

I can imagine (hazily) this running locally for each user, and then incorporating an auth flow that allows the user to also access my app from within, and create note records directly, and hook into other features (pull existing notes, create new notes, automations)
Since the caller gets this as an error object, instead of as a plain string, it seems likely that this is within the same process, i.e. a library function returns the MaxBytesError to a level higher in the business logic, without a network transmission inbetween.

My city (Valencia, Spain) generally has good biking infrastructure but recently they redid an intersection and came up with this monstrosity. Even for locals it's confusing / dangerous.

In the direction I travel frequently, I have to stop in the middle of the bike lane which is sandwiched between two pedestrian crossing to wait for a light. Once the light turns I cross over three lanes of vehicle traffic and immediately am thrown into a bike lane crossing my path. The cars here give you no leeway so if you are slightly late in crossing (and there's only about 3 seconds between the "hurry up the lights gonna change soon" flashing light to the cars getting a green light) then you have no place to stop / slow and look if there's any bikes coming.

After that you are directly in a pedestrian crossing zebra zone in the island, which then throws you into anther bike crossing, another pedestrian zone and then finally crossing the other three lanes of traffic. Of course on the other side you t-bone directly into another bike lane, and then the lane I'm on turns into a "mixed use" lane (just paint on the sidewalk).

> and any rest stop that takes more than 10 minutes is no go for me.

You're pretty uncompromising. There are already BEVs that need 18 minutes to recharge. That's close to a 10-minute rest stop + gas station stop.

In real world scenarios good BEVs are currently about 10% slower on long-range road trips than ICE. Not ideal, but also you can relax a bit and not piss in a hurry.

So it also happened for already lean mice (though no mention of whether they still lost fat), and for cultured human heart cells (so not a by-product of needing less muscle to pump blood through a shrunken body).
