Dual carriageways are ok for cycling when the AADT for a particular road is below about 30k. Above that, cyclists would be an impediment to traffic flow as a following motorist would be waiting a long time for a safe gap in the second lane to overtake, especially when the speed difference is above 100%.

Wouldn’t the ship insurance company be responsible for the costs?

At some point insurers are going to increase their costs to these Chinese companies to the point that sabotage does not become viable anymore.
Go seems really sensitive to this subject. Maps iterate in order, but one day they said “this is incidental and we said not to rely on it. You do, so we’re breaking it in a minor release” and now maps iterate in order… from a random offset
> how do you find & verify [...] decent people who do not find the "CSAM Verification" job horrible?

I think the distinction is:

Some people are okay with the job because they're pedophiles.

Others are okay with the job because they're insensitive to violence.

"Decent" is slightly moralistic and blurs the picture. The people can be absolute assholes, and that's okay, as long as they're not personally motivated to collect and spread CSAM material. So we're really looking for a bunch of psychopaths (in the most well-intended meaning of the word) indifferent to children. I think it's possible to make a qualifying test for both criteria.
Okay, Cumpiler69. Thanks for keeping the discussion professional.
Yeah, waymarked routes in much of the US are an absolute embarrassment. Last time I went cycling in NY State the worst part of the whole route was the official State Bicycle Route. The quiet roads were lovely.

cycle.travel treats routes in the States differently to those in Europe for precisely this reason, and there are some routes which get absolutely zero uplift because many of them are so bad (looking at you, East Coast Greenway).
We gave Pakistan and Iran a few billion dollars in military aid a while back. What we got in return was a Bangladesh genocide and an Islamic revolution.

Lesson learned: arms sales can be used to ideologically justify butchering civilians if the government receiving that aid is not held accountable.
The weapon test aspect is a very interesting thought. My view so far was that ballistic missile defense in general is a complete gamble and basically impossible to get satisfactory coverage for a reasonable price.

I wonder if that view has become obsolete already.
> Why not have an actual barrier or curb and places to get on/off?

There actually commonly is a barrier; a gentle curve between the foot path and bike path, with the bike path being lower. The bike path is also red asphalt making it visually distinct.
Yes, because they want to operate outside the rule of international law.
It's a good app, I was happy to subscribe once I used it a couple of times to find new routes about the city.
It is even worse than the analogy, because every bit of mass from that sunken ship becomes drifting naval mines.
I find it dubious that an ML model would outperform existing compilers (AOT or JIT) for Python and JS, both of which exist and have many engineer years invested in their design and testing.

I find it even more dubious that someone would want something that could hallucinate generating machine code. The difficulty of optimizing compiler passes is not in writing code that appears to be "better" or "faster" but guaranteeing that it is correct in all possible contexts.
Well, how do you travel personally? Do you employ the same approach that you're recommending here?
Oh I know, it's some dumb function of HN, not the submitters. It's a total hackjob mess of a "feature" and should be removed.
I agree, and the profit motive for the pharma corps seems to have really compromised their ethics (to put it mildly while giving them more benefit of doubt than I think they deserve).

Ultimately, medical science didn't even know the brain had a lymphatic system until this century. Futzing with the subtle biochem of neurotransmitters and hormones is quite beyond their abilities, looks to me. That doesn't appear to prevent them from making a solid off their profit, regardless of any negative results.

And, always, RIP Chris Cornell. Man, we miss that man's voice.
I've been actively using Potiz since it's been in Beta and really enjoy it. Great to see how far it's come along.
The most important cutting aids are the same ones in bulking - AAS like testosterone and its close (cheaper) variants like trenbolone and methylated testosterone but yeah, the interesting chemicals are featured too.

Most natural bodybuilders recommend the 'clean bulk' where one simply eats the same cutting foods but in larger proportions. And also not to be too strict in general - that way lies disordered eating, binges, purges etc.

> Fixing the upstream would not have updated it on the millions of machines running it,

It was a very different world back then. You couldn't even assume a dial-up connection.

Nowadays, the software would have been automatically updated for 99% of the machines running it, whether they wanted that update or not.
I don't think UBI is feasible, it is anathema to the human condition to be content with the bare minimum. if not for our own selves, we would want the best life possible for our loved ones (present or future). my "UBI" would be a couple of million dollars.

I want to learn those subjects because I enjoy learning and understanding. Life should be lived with knowledge applied through wisdom.

> Could you volunteer me how much time you spend on it? And how is your day job?

On entertainment? I can't tell you, I like to watch a movie or a tv show whenever I have time for it. There are more enjoyable pursuits in life, and most worthy pursuits involve adversity and require perseverance.

Perhaps it is the case that in the overwhelming majority of cases that police respond to, the man is the aggressor. That does not make snap-discrimination right, but it may simply be an unreasonable thing to expect a career police officer not to pattern match, when they are forced to use their judgement in ambiguous circumstances every day. It may be tempting to hold every police officer personally responsible for their conduct, but that does not solve the systemic issue that if you put people in a position where they are constantly facing the worst of humanity, eventually they will begin to reflect it back.
Is that not better than the current alternative where they're forced to become grifters?

Same. I use my numpad constantly - Excel, programming, VoIP, calc, etc.

I don't use the number row above my keyboard except on rare occasions or to type the shifted characters. If I need to quickly type a number without looking, the numpad is the only way to do that (for me).

I tried a friends "compact" gaming keyboard, and then to the right of his keyboard was a separate "macro" keyboard which was basically just a numpad... so why not just have a numpad?
Gorgeous brisket!
Inheritance is not a banned practice. It should just be your second choice when there's a better path through composition. Do you see one here? Interfacing to address Liskov's substitution is a perfectly valid reason to "extend" in many older languages, since their inheritance and interface mechanism are conflated. The way it's done here is fine. Single parent, shallow and only for the purpose of overriding and specializing.

Also, the real issue SM is trying to address is actually single responsibility and open-close, which aren't just an OO thing.

As you'll design your own libraries' functional APIs, you'll have to decide whether to publish fewer functions, with a rich set of behaviors controlled through the passing of (many) parameters (and conditionals in the function body); or take a finer grain approach with multiple functions that abide as much as possible to single responsibility and only take few input about the state. I'd bet that the former will quickly raise complaints, by both maintainers and users alike, because of all the ifs and buts typically associated with it.

For the same reasons, you don't want your methods to have divergent behavior based on state. You want multiple types.

Simpson's Paradox[0] is the reason people are so easily seduced by the tempting, but dead wrong, illusion that humans are in any sense equal in their innate capacity for anything.

Because it turns out that, in the NBA, height does not correspond with ability! This of course makes sense, because all the players are filtered by being NBA professional basketballers. A shorter player simply has more exceptional ability in another dimension, be that dodging reflex, ability to visualize and then hit a ball trajectory from the three point line, and so on. Conversely, a very tall player is inherently useful for blocking, and doesn't have to be as objectively good at basketball in order to be a valuable teammate.

Despite this lack of correlation, when you look at an NBA team you see a bunch of very tall fellows indeed. Simpson's Paradox.

We see the same thing in intellectual pursuits. "I'm not nearly as smart as the smartest programmer I know, but I get promoted at work so I must be doing something right. Therefore anyone could do this, they just have to work hard like I did". Nope. You've already been selected into "professional programmer", this logic doesn't work.

Stories about divisive topics are routinely flagged from all sides.

It's common, if not inevitable, for people who feel strongly about $topic to conclude that the system (or the community, or the mods, etc.) are biased against their side (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). One is far more likely to notice whatever data points that one dislikes because they go against one's view and overweight those relative to others (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). This is probably the single most reliable phenomenon on this site. Keep in mind that the people with the opposite view to yours are just as convinced that there's bias, but they're sure that it's against their side and in favor of yours.

I could never say there's no bias—unconscious bias is a thing, for example—but I can tell you that we work hard to be fair, have been doing that for years, and there hasn't been any change in our practices.
Reminds me of a story: two years ago I was riding my bike, doing a 45 miles ride from Montreal to Dunham. I was following Google Map's directions and it led me inside a Canadian Army base (Farnham). I saw modified pickup trucks full of guys with rifles about 100 metres from the entrance which said "Keep out" and Google wanted me to go there. I didn't. They changed it now.

> I wrestled in high school and college, my friend. If you don't eat and work out a lot, you will lose weight, guaranteed. It's the nature of the human body; it's thermodynamics and biochemistry and hard as hell as we get older, especially when poor.

No one is questioning CICO.

The part being questioned is why it's more difficult for others. For example, my wife and I share an almost identical diet and activity level, yet i struggle to keep weight on and she struggles to keep weight off and with similar lifestyles. CICO works of course, but not only do our bodies innately do different things with the calories that they process but we simply experience that world differently.

I could drop down to unhealthily thin levels without even trying. She would be in misery even trying to maintain my weight.

This isn't an excuse necessarily. Rather just saying there's a lot of information beyond simple CICO that we're missing. Complexity in biome, addictive behaviors, and a full on assault from the food industry.

The ease i have in weight loss is not due to my own efforts. Thin people shouldn't break their arm patting themselves on the back, because imo it's usually not due to our own will.
I’ve always thought of the Netherlands as Infrastructire Country, so much of that territory has been significantly altered over the last four or five thousand years that it’s leaked into their world view.

Problems can be solved with enough time, rough consensus and effort. It seems like such a weirdly outdated modernist view when living in other places.
These names are not internal names, like identifiers in the C source code of vim. The names in question appear in lot's of users Emacs configuration files. And Emacs has been extremely reluctant to change the meaning of those names in the past. Doing it here contradicts an important expectations of long time users. This is not only about "name ownership" of some mode's maintainer.
That hardly seems objective. Every single statement I saw on the homepage was anti-Israeli. This Israeli government has done any number of horrible things, but it's a complicated situation that is not at all summed up well by "Israel bad". Acting like Hamas hasn't committed awful atrocities or that everything Israel does is bad isn't going to help innocent civilians caught up in this mess.

[0] looked like it would be great, but every time I select an origin point, it just shows a bunch of plans which get in the way of the route I am trying to build.

So far, every planner I have tried from this thread has just been frustrating in one way or another. It seems very hard for most to understand things like road+MTB in one ride or that the map shows that the road doesn't go through, but I can simply walk through a gate that a car can't.

Is CS the New Art Degree?
You do know that your metabolism can pull energy out of your fat storages, right? And that metabolism is extremely flexible and adaptable, to be sure? Your body certainly isn't pulling out a calculator every night before you go to sleep to determine whether you've eaten in excess or not for the day, and then deciding to build muscle or not based on that alone. That's ridiculously simplistic, and wrong. It's a multitude of processes working constantly, and factors like exercise, protein intake or adaptation to ketosis, just to name a few, are of the utmost importance. Some people tend to think of the human metabolism as a calorimeter, when it couldn't be farther from it.
The approximate-GEO belt involves far fewer satellites than projected megaconstellations, in a far larger volume of space, travelling at far lower orbital velocities, with a much tighter orbital plane distribution (so even lower relative velocities). Their orbital planes intersect every 12 hours instead of every 0.75 hours.

Targeted space junk disposal in GSOs appears to be quite practical. The easiest major orbital changes for an SEP stage to burn, structurally, involve lowering periapsis from high orbit.

A fun simple gear related concept is "hunting tooth".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train#Hunting_and_non-hun...

Basically you don't want any common denominators in teeth count, otherwise the same sets of teeth will engage at some frequency. If there is a small imperfection on a tooth it'll wear out quicker. E.g. a set with 5:14 teeth will theoretically wear better than a set with 5:15 teeth.

>> "Stores switched from having an incentive to give out as few plastic bags as possible to save money to having an incentive to give out as many as possible to make money"

The large stores around me (in a free plastic bag zone) have no trouble putting one or two items in every bag. I do not think there is any incentive to cut back use. I think there may be more incentive to use more of the super cheap plastic bags to cut back on time to bag and complaints about how things are packed.

>> "need a bag take a bag, have a bag leave a bag"

sounds good. I often forget to bring re-usable bags but do not want to buy more. I like to have a stock of disposable bags at home to use as trash bags (buying trash bags is to much like throwing money in the trash). I often have an over stock of them though.

Man, Trump isn't going to shit about leaving NATO. He'll moan about some countries not spending enough, that's about it.

Leaving NATO would mean closing US-bases in Europe overnight, not getting valuable intel from partners in NATO, jeopardizing US defense deals, and a million other things.

As always, it's grandstanding from Trump to get some extra bucks from his allies.

US pulling out of NATO would likely embolden China to make a move on Taiwan. Seeing how much of the US economy revolves around technology, I really don't think there's any other option than to defend Taiwan, as it stands. Sure - Europe also depends on chips from Taiwan, but they'd also be swamped in the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
There is this long-running (and quite fascinating I think) debate about the different "types" of mathematical thinking. Logical vs Intuitive, Geometric vs Algebraic etc. Can't recall where exactly but I remember reading about a 19th century mathematician that crowed they had not a single figure in their masterpiece.

Visualization is probably not a silver bullet but a lot of people are visual thinkers so maybe it would help a few more to reach a higher level in mathematical thinking.

It's a matter of the definition. The general factor of intelligence, which is measured through various somewhat lossy proxies like IQ tests, is exactly the degree to which someone exceeds expectation on all cognitive tasks (or vice versa).

The interesting finding is that this universal correlation is strong, real, and durable. Of course people in general have cognitive domains where they function better or worse than their g factor indicates, and that's before we get into the fact that intellectual task performance is strongly predicated on knowledge and practice, which is difficult to control for outside of tests designed (successfully, I must add) to do so.

I think there's a probabalistic argument I'm making that's more in line with the article.

Yes - there will be 10x-ers. And that group will have a 10x-er iside it, and so on given exponential dropoff of frequency of talent. Bobby Fisher is a few std dev above even the best, perhaps.

Generally speaking, "You can do anything you want, but wanting (enough, and naturally) is the hardest part" might need a three standard deviation limit.

Have you heard the phrase: Being average among those who practice makes you 9X% among the population? I think that's what I'm saying - you can be a top performer if you dedicate yourself, especially early enough, but almost nobody will.

This missile type is basically designed specifically to hit European cities with nuclear payloads as efficiently as possible (relatively small missile, with just enough range to cover Europe and a MIRV design makes absolutely no sense for non-nuclear payloads). It is also a very modern design...

The point about Russia possibly testing that their ICBMs reliably avoid missile defense is also a very interesting perspective, though.
