> Less visual obstructions so that oncoming traffic can be seen sooner?

This is called daylighting and California passed a law for it https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/walk/daylighting

> Advance the crosswalk even more, with two separate lights?

Pedestrians already have a "leading signal" in intersections with lots of people, which makes the wall signal change before the green for cars. Right on red defeats their purpose, which is to ensure pedestrians are on the middle of the street by the time a car wants to turn, putting them where they are easiest to be seen.

> Hard square corner kerb instead of a round bevel?

Yes. I would go further and have bulb outs https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/walk/pedestrian-improve... and at grade crossings (the zebra crossing is at the same height as the sidewalk). All of these have been proven to work.

> overshooting

I don't think there is any risk of "overshooting" in making cities nicer and safer for pedestrians and all other road users in the US. If anything it will be an uphill battle to accomplish any change.
Example of an insideously unsafe intersection that was changed to make it safer (for bike riders):

When I was an engineering manager there, engineering leadership described performance reviews as, in a large well run engineering organization, you'll probably be firing 5-10% of your employees every year for low performance. (Well, "non regrettable attrition", which includes people who quit when they get pipped.)

Lower than 5% at scale would be a red flag, not necessarily wrong, you don't want to "stack rank" with a quota and force managers to fire people who shouldn't want to be fired, but if you have 100 engineers in a department and only one of them gets fired in a year, probably the director is making a mistake.

So, I'm sure this won't be the only firing for the year at Meta. But this doesn't really seem like it's very far away from normal practices.
Ah yes, the peasants who are free to leave at any time, get nice salaries and a nice severance at the end, plus a ton of benefits. Oh and at FB many can still WFH.

Big tech has problems, but lets not exaggerate - that undermines progress.
Platform is disrupting AI Agents space
have you checked actionagents.co, a platform to hire agents for various usecases.
Taking a quick look at this, the first thing I notice is that the configuration file syntax is obtuse and nigh-illegible unless you already know what things are, and even then it's cumbersome and looks frustrating to write.

e.g. instead of systemd's simple:

Exec=/path/to/ntpd -n -c /etc/ntpd.conf -u ntpd -g

We have this mess:

#:start (make-forkexec-constructor
(list "…/bin/ntpd"
"-n" "-c" "/…/…-ntpd.conf" "-u" "ntpd" "-g")
#:log-file "/var/log/ntpd.log")

They say you don't need to be an expert on guile scheme to build a service file, but it does seem as though you need to know things like what `'(ntpd)` means, which I assumed was some kind of identifier literal, and it seems to be what's called a 'data literal' in scheme, but I had to google to discover that since the actual guile scheme documentation didn't seem to explain that syntax at all.

I get that there are benefits to being able to do more advanced scripting in a service file, but this seems like a classic example of programmers writing things for programmers and not for users (or at least, not for users who don't 'get it').

Going to chalk this up as another 'GNU reimplemented something badly because of NIH syndrome' incident and move on.
A brief list of features withheld or removed from Core:

- The dbt docs functionality is no longer maintained in favor of dbt Explorer in dbt cloud. A natural consequence is that larger dbt Core projects simply cannot leverage local docs due to performance defects.

- Multi-project support was widely discussed in the core repo w/ tooling contributions from the community, but that was locked behind enterprise-tier dbt cloud accounts

- Metricflow was a full OSS application that used to work in tandem with dbt Core. Post-acquisition, the original code was re-licensed and the functionality added to Cloud only (and you have to pay per semantic layer query now).
And the solution is? More privatization?
I've implemented OAuth flow glue logic a bunch in my career and I agree that the logic doesn't seem to follow from what the documentation says. What's not clear to me though while reading this is, if I delete/lose a domain, and someone re-makes the domain and account with the same email address, does the sub value then change? The docs would seem to suggest yes, but then I am not clear what google actually ended up "fixing" in its bug bounty. Was that maybe the bug, and this is just not clearly explained in this post?
Thank you. I am already on their list. I don't have the technical abilities to contribute to the project.
last quote is the key point and tracks with the other Vibe Shift press releases Mark has been on about. i read this as, there was a fear that laying off underperformers without very long PIP processes would be dangerous to the company, now he thinks it's less likely given the political landscape, so let's fire them ASAP rather than drawing it out.
It seems like covid let corporations do in 4 years what would normally take 20+. They usually have to slowly boil the frog, but with Covid they had a great excuse to take large actions without consequence. Layoffs, inflating prices, cutting perks are normally things that need to be eased into, but they all jumped on the covid/covid economy excuse to do these things overnight.
It is definitely true the millionaires paid less than me. 0 < any positive number.

Theocracy is bad and neo-Nazism is bad. Trump had dinner with Nick Fuentes, who 1) is an open anti-semite, 2) praises Adolf Hitler, and 3) calls for white ethnonationalism.

I don't need to write a treatise to explain why this is bad.
The alternative of not having a performance review problem involves having all of those problems with even more confusion, less visibility, and people trying to guess what will get them rewarded and usually guessing wrong.

The question then becomes "how are applicants getting to the phone screening to begin with?"

Because from what I can tell, it seems like a complete toss up whether a qualified/unqualified applicant will even get that far, let alone how much further in the progress they'll get. I get the distinct feeling that most filtering systems are just dropping a lot of great candidates at the first hurdle, and then letting a bunch of unqualified ones through to the later rounds.
Watching Meta's downfall unfolding in real-time wasn't something I had on my 2025 bingo card.
I've been a Chrome user since literally the day it came out. On my iPhone 13 though I just noticed Chrome was getting slower and slower. At first I thought it was the phone, since I spend most of my time on the phone in the browser it was hard to tell the difference.

Then I switched to Firefox for iOS. It is SO MUCH FASTER. It's like getting a new phone. Idk what the Chrome team is doing but it's slow.

Why do you assume sally@dankstartup.com doesn’t have a vanguard account? I’ve absolutely had similar retirement account logins that became difficult to access once I left that employer. Had to contact HR and get them to help me log into my account. If the company had folded during that timeframe I would’ve been screwed. Of course for financial institutions you can probably recover your account through some identity proving process, and generally money transfers require a second factor sms auth, but a domain takeover would probably have been sufficient to at least get someone logged in and able to see my account balance.
It's still revolutionary to sit down with people you don't know and share a delicious meal. Sitting on the floor is something we don't do all that often in the West, so IMO, that also opens one's eyes to a different perspective. Langar was and still is revolutionary!
There are too many proactively dangerous drivers on the road. And if these invasive methods make it harder for them to continue to drive this way, I am OK with it.
I think that's relevant if you have a highly specialized skillset like embedded Linux. People don't make embedded Linux job postings to "test the waters" or "see if the perfect candidate applies." If the listing is up, they're probably hiring an embedded Linux developer, and while there will be a lot of resume frauds applying, they actually need to make the hire.

If you're applying for a B2B SaaS product manager job there are 50,000 jobs and 200,000 applicants and it's a completely different situation.

We have no idea how to measure management performance at scale, at basically any level, in any kind of reliable way. It takes PhDs and rare datasets to even start to make any kind of serious data-backed statements about what works and what doesn’t in management, and how to hire, train, and promote effectively. It’s basically all a black box that’s so hard to measure that the most any company does is pretend they’re using objective and relevant data for it, when in reality they’re mostly looking at noise.

Keep that in mind when anyone talks about how vital performance evaluations are. Management can’t even figure out non-bullshit ways to evaluate their own work.
Terminally online not-rich people across the spectrum approved. Other not-rich people seem to land in the "vaguely disapprove" realm IMO. Obviously the plutocrats are all terrified and think it's the worst crime ever.

There's no cognitive dissonance here. The chances that "humans" "live" on Mars any time during the next 10,000 years is zero. Humans might live in underground habitats on Mars within a century, without being exposed to the Martian environment. Something genetically descended from humans and tailored for Martian conditions might live-ish on Mars in under a few thousand years.
The hard problem isn’t figuring out what to do. Its to get people on board with shifting from a like for like infrastructure development model where the roads and built environment look more or less the same for decades, to a potential status quo changing model of infrastructure development. If you can solve that fundamental issue, traffic is just a footnote of the long list of problems you also solve on our planet.
Nice that the servo tells you the position. The only time I used a servo it was a cheap 3-wire one, and it didn't tell me the position. So even though it was "closed-loop" internally, it was open-loop from the perspective of my code. Still mad about that...

They make a profit on investing the float that offsets their underwriting loss. I never claimed that insurance companies aren't profitable. I said that their insurance is a money loser.

If you look at their financial statements you can see that they have been losing billions on underwriting for years https://www.allstateinvestors.com/static-files/d61a8007-647a...
so the data shows that the left's approval of the murder is 37% higher on the low end up to a max of 5x higher (depending on how the confidence intervals map to reality).

And that that the left is anywhere from 20% to 3x more likely to be undecided about the morality of an assassination.
Casual Viewing: Why Netflix Looks Like That
The email returned by OAuth providers is not always verified and thus cannot be trusted, anyone relies on the email as the ID is open to compromise. The sub claim should always be used as the ID, if you can prove that "the sub claim changes in about 0.04% of logins" then it's Google flaw and they should fix it, otherwise it isn't and there is no need to add another ID to the claim.

Concrete slabs have steel rods, which makes it resilient to earthquakes. In an earthquake-prone zone you will need more steel. The structure will be supported by concrete columns which also have steel.
This is how all the tech bro mass management of people systems work. Do away with any customer service, throw away randos impacted by any situations outside the norm because your system is large enough to keep the needed critical mass even without those people. Scale over nuanced edge cases to minimize cost/friction/complexity.

The future world will become more and more brittle/brutal for us randos because we are 100% disposable in the future tech bro libertarian dystopia. If any situation puts us outside their standard use cases and automated support systems ability to resolve issues we are purged from the system. And when all of society is manage by those types of systems you are hit.
Yes. The crossings aren’t solved by the roundabout. But speeds are lowered going into the intersections. The crossings work the same (but may need to move away slightly from the roundabout).
Can I ask, do you find that the benefits that other respondents are claiming (maybe younger respondents) are artifacts of a wishful thinking? Is it possible that the benefits are somewhat real, but come with downsides?

Ok, I'll go with your take and restore the submitted URL. Sorry for the churn everybody!

What an unfortunate typo. Luckily I had time to fix that one.

But sure, I think almost all of them got severance.
The street grid is also where the sidewalks are. Moving crossings away from intersections would mean anyone walking in a straight line has to do a 500ft+ detour every block. They make sense in some specific situations but don't work as a general solution.
I asked for bobs proof, and was given marketing.

Then provided instructions on how to present facts, and still await the data.

Then immature folks showed up to try to cow people with troll content.

I don't have to prove anything, as the evidence was already collected and reported in peer-reviewed journals. People just prefer to ignore the cited evidence that proves they are full of steaming piles of fictional hype. =3
That's for the corporation as a whole and counts the net of investment profits and insurance losses. If you open their earnings release, you can see combined ratios over 100%, indicating that the total cost of operating the insurance is negative, but this is offset by investment profits (as the original commenter mentioned - they make money off the float).
> Below is Zuckeberg’s[sic] internal memo, which CNBC obtained.

Meta is working on building some of the most important technologies of the world. AI, glasses as the next computing platform and the future of social media.

It's very funny that he included the Ray-Bans here. Maybe it will be the next iPhone, but along with Meta Worlds (or whatever it's called), Zuckerberg simply goes all-in on dumb sci-fi toys. Considering this is pure childish impulse - VR itself didn't make the top 3 in the memo - I wonder if he'll rename the company to Specs Technologies.
Free speech can be a problem especially when fake/false information is part of it.

Like what I said in HN: all AI development, especially the algorithm part, should be paused until we all get some basic income at least because it has the potential of destroying many jobs in a short period of time. It is not to abandon the road completely, but to plan ahead and avoid the train wreck.

But of course people just want to move ahead. I know I can't fight the future. I'm fine with that. I'm an old man over 40. I'm going to be obsolete in about 10 years. I'll be debt free and some half million in cash and small passive income too. And you can do whatever you want. Apres moi...
I guess time will tell, especially as you've bet the company on it

My impression so far is that they're already in diminishing returns territory. They might just be puppies learning to walk, in the sense of having a fundamental limit to their potential
I was a contractor at a FAANG for a few years, and they handed me a job. In the few weeks of transition between the two (some paperwork, etc.) a job posting and req ID was created and posted on their jobs site. I freaked out for a bit, but everything worked out so I can only presume (in California) that was a requirement.

What amazed me was it said (maybe on LinkedIN?) how many poor souls actually took the time to apply to the position. It was in the hundreds. I can't help but feel bad knowing they never had a chance.
> “I’ve decided to raise the bar on performance management and move out low-performers faster,” Zuckerberg said in the memo

Doesn't this beg the question of why the bar wasn't higher the whole time?
official word from wiim is that the ultra will never have airplay

the reason airplay matters so much is that even if you want great audio quality and care about the bitrate of your music, other people in your house don't and just want to make music come out of the speakers. no airplay resigns the device to "nobody else can use it" status.
Also, Audi isn't even _really_ a car manufacturer; it's one of VW's 11 or so brands.
Time for a credit union version of insurance coverage.
Worse yet, at least in Seattle, are right arrow lights that go green at the same time as the walk light. You get a green light to go and pedestrians start crossing at the same time. Having a green light and a walking sign on should be mutually exclusive.
Even then (in my experience) it's pretty common to setup an email based account and it will auto link to an oauth one that already exists. Even if Google revoked oauth, many platforms let you use the email directly to login

If a security mechanism doesn’t account for failure cases, it’s a failure of the security mechanism.

It’s a hard problem to solve and I don’t have a solution, but it’s a core goal of every security tool to account for edge cases and failure cases like this. If you tell me that OAuth is completely insecure due to a security issue, it’s not going to make me feel any better if you say “but it’s totally not OAuths fault” - I don’t care who’s fault or scope it is, the end result of a security issue is the same, and to avoid it I’m just not going to use OAuth.
This is why I always develop to web standards and not to any browser. You follow the web standards and then check to see which browsers do it right. Then adjust for that browser if necessary.
"political landscape" was the reason he gave for ending the various DEI programs.

This is why it's often safer to "jaywalk". If you're in the middle of a block, you only have to look two ways. Even if you screw up, a driver going at a reasonable speed is more likely to see you anyway because you're directly in front of them. I'm not exactly advocating for crossing in the middle of a street in North America since it's depends a lot on the situation, but there's a reason why people sometimes just do it intuitively, and it's unfortunate our infrastructure doesn't know how to address it.

> It makes sense to share your data with an insurance provider if you are a well-behaved driver.

I would like to see evidence of this.

My experience: discount for sharing is low, maybe $100/year.

My expectation: if I actually get in an accident (1) the data I shared will be used against me; (2) my insurance provider will put me in a high risk pool or drop me.

It seems to me that the downside is really high and the upside is not.

Is that wrong?

P.S. If I actually had faith in all of the companies involved, I would certainly agree with the parent. However, I don't.
These metrics can be used in performance reviews at Facebook.
2025 is going to be the year the metaverse really takes off. I can feel it. People definitely want Zuck's shitty VR 3D walled garden with worse graphics than a Nintendo Wii.
This is a strawman. While a fully objective evaluation is hard or impossible in most cases, it doesn't mean that it can't be somewhat objective. The extremes are pretty easy to identify - amazing performers who implement lots of features with few bugs and who are easy to work with vs the asshole who gets nothing done. The difficulty is in the middle, and while subjectivity is unavoidable, you can use objective metrics as data points.

Also, a well built subjective review process is better than no process, for instance, using peers and customer opinions as input.
