> I see more people driving break the law every day while driving then I've ever seen bikers do in my entire life. People are jerks regardless of what they use to commute with.

I don't think he (or many) would claim otherwise. The issue isn't the people who ride bikes, but rather the mode they choose to travel with and the impact it has on your drive. Bikers cause all sorts of added danger to both themselves, and you as a driver.

If you have a moment of human error in car-v-car, you're very likely to have both parties walk away from the incident. You call your insurance(s), your rates go up a bit, and your life moves on. Accidents are very, very common.

Repeat this same scenario in car-v-biker, and the odds quickly swing towards it being a life endangering accident. It's just a step away from hitting a pedestrian.

I don't dislike bikers because they slow me down or anything like that. I dislike them because of the likely increase in severity for almost all car-v-biker accidents.

edit: Interesting, seems i am getting downvotes for my opinion. Care to explain your thoughts? I can't imagine you (downvoters) feel that car-v-biker is an equal risk compared to car-v-car, do you?

Agreed - It seems like verbal agreements are just invitations to future abuse. Humans are very good at ignoring limitations when convenient. Codifying them is the only way we keep things fair.
On bike lanes security weighs on the bikers, since pedestrian will cross or even walk on them, you're always worried about some hidden kid running wild.
In the UK (in most cases) you don't get the same sort of dynamic range compression in marking you seem to get in the US (though it is coming - witness the A/A/A* stuff at GCSE). It is fairly ridiculous for 85% to represent 'you turned up'.
I would probably make an HTTP interceptor to remove the elements from the cache on non-GET methods. The same could probably be done on socket events if you sync your clients with socket.io or something alike.

I have noticed a pattern in Vox articles where the content does not support the headline.

Try staying for a minute or two behind a vehicle that has its engine running and burning fuel. In a line at a light inhaling exhaust is enough to make you dizzy—at least that's what happened to me when I tried it once. Always pulling right to the light afterwards.

I gave you an upvote for the first graf, but you're absolutely incorrect in your second 2.

> I didn't ask them to get on the road with me, but I'll sure as hell be held responsible for their decision if something happens.

Even granting "sure as hell" as hyperbole, you're not even close to correct. Cyclists are held to the same traffic rules as drivers, and they are often found at fault. I do think the unprotected factor is extremely relevant, pushing me to support relaxed traffic rules for cyclists. They are, in fact, not piloting a lethal weapon (as a general rule). But the status quo is overwhelmingly in favor of treating drivers and cyclists equally, if not fairly.

> More importantly, as a tax payer, I've helped fund literally dozens of miles of really nice dedicated paved and marked bike only trails, complete with parking and overpasses, tunnels and signals at busy intersections. There is literally no excuse for them to play "Tour de France" on the same road I'm trying to get to work on.

Again, I'll grant you the hyperbole of "literally no excuse", where all I would need is a single counterexample. You've obviously never attempted to commute as a cyclist if you think you can get from your house to your work on bike-only paths. The number of counterexamples is orders of magnitude larger than the number of qualifying examples. For you to even come close to believing your statements tells me you live in an idyllic outlier of a community. Sign me up.

Bikes are the main form of transport for a lot of people. They aren't interlopers playing Tour de France on your road, they are fellow travellers who are going somewhere.

I expect this to be forked soon to support other key-value stores.
Cyclists also pay taxes, including for roads. Not only that, but they consume goods that were shipped, in part, by truck; thereby they put dollars into the road-based economy like everyone else.

Dedicated bike lanes tend not to exist everywhere. The initiatives for such things tend to be concentrated in city downtown areas where there are many riders. Once you are out in the boonies, there tends to be nothing. Often a piece of highway is the only realistic way to get somewhere, whether by car or bike. It's either that, or cut through a bush, corn field, or swim a body of water.

As we get away from the downtown areas, we still find bike trails, but more oriented toward recreation. They are localized into small areas and veer off useless places such as parks on the assumption that you aren't going to work, but on a picnic (if you were going to work, you would obviously drive). The trails do not form a complete system to get from A to B; even if you use them as much as possible, you have to use regular roads to get from one trail network to another. Some bike trails are also simply not built for speed; you cannot just get on these trails and pedal all out at 30 mp/h.

> It is arguable whether Hessian free methods, contrastive divergence or auto-encoder based training methods qualify as 'breakthroughs' but they have definitely equipped invigorated researchers in this broad area with their capabilities.

The scientific revolution in computer vision right now is due to deep convnets, trained in a supervised way using backprop and SGD. All of the systems we're talking about that have started blowing away records are members of this family, and were trained this way. If Alex Krizhevsky had not entered ImageNet 2012, we would not be having this conversation (in part because I probably would never have gotten curious enough about it to leave my home territories of systems and programming languages). Second order methods, unsupervised pre-training, RBMs, graphical models, etc. etc. etc. were exciting for those inside the field, definitely provided encouragement to those optimistic about deep models, and still might prove important, but they have had little impact and visibility to skeptical people outside, in the way that entering a computer vision competition and murdering all the computer vision systems did.
>they will be left alone to starve to death

Stray animals can absolutely starve to death.

>or die from sickness.

Stray animals can absolutely get sick and die.

>they might attack other pets.

Stray animals can absolutely get in fights with other animals, stray or otherwise

>They might even make other pets sick by biting them.

Stray animals can absolute transmit disease through bites, again to other strays or domestic pets.

>They can easily become a nuisance in populated areas

This seems reasonable; feral cat colonies aren't really an ideal selling point for an area.

>although rural areas have a larger domain for stray animals.

This also seems reasonable; there's more space in rural areas for strays to stake out a claim without bothering the human contingent.

Can you please explain which parts are "basically speculation" and why you think they aren't based in fact?

edit: And I pretty regularly get notices from the shelter where I adopted my cat, saying "We just rescued a large number of animals from a hoarder who was unable to take care of them, please help us find homes for them"; even if the shelter were a kill shelter, that's hardly the summary execution of the pet for the transgression of the owner. This is sounding more like weird local policy where you live (or speculation), as opposed to the fact you presented it as.
>> However it's important to keep in mind that injustices occur both ways, and forming blanket statements is a great way to end up just talking past one another.

That's not true. Did you look at the New York Times article? The prosecution rate of motorists who kill cyclists in non-hit-and-run crashes is close to 0. In several major cities, it is actually 0. So no, the injustices do not go both ways.
Love the idea! Have you considered this from a job search point of view?...go to twitter, search for #job and quickly build a list of jobs to be checked later. Especially if you summarise the content etc. Might be better as a separate service but it appears you have all the tools :-)!
Not the guy you're talking to, but... if people doing business can hide behind the limited liability said business provides then it's fair to separate private communication from business communication and possibly declare that limited liability doesn't come without loss of privacy to ensure the law is being followed for business communications. It's unfair to use personal privacy rights to try and hide illegal business activity thus absolving any actual person from being responsible while also allowing them the limited liability of a corporation so if any wrongdoing becomes known no one can be blamed.

In the end, FaceTime is only adequate software. There isn't anything particularly annoying about it, and it does what the average user expects.

What makes FaceTime incredible is that no one else on the planet can make anything even close to adequate in that space.

It can be mind boggling to cycle through Skype, Lync, Google Hangouts, and every other piece of chat software on your computer, all failing in bizarre ways, only to think, "Oh yeah. Let's try FaceTime" and have it work.
As a motorist who sees cyclists daily, I have yet to see a cyclist obey a stop sign. I see blatant disregard for stop signs every single day. Same thing for red lights -- I see cyclists routinely disregard red lights, unless crossing a busy road, where disregarding a red light will certainly get them killed.
The results here are impressive, but the particular example they show in the last picture seems pretty dangerous, unless I'm misunderstanding. It seems like it places left-turning car traffic to the right of cyclist through-traffic, creating an opportunity for "left-hooks." Many jurisdictions use mixing zones instead: http://www.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/dc_mix...

(Unless there's a separate signal phase for the cyclist through-traffic, which is possible, but not that common in the US.)
What is the most expensive tld that you can buy?
If you're in a large number of regulated industries, this is already a requirement (see: SOX).
I totally agree - bikes should not be sharing the road with angry entitled nasty car drivers. Solution - get rid of the cars. Seriously. Make all traffic lanes in city cores bikes only, and make public transit free for everyone. Have dedicated hours at night when delivery vehicles can use the roads. BTW, I drive and bike and would be willing to give up a lot of the convenience of using my vehicle if these measures could be implemented.
It also reflects a key problem in Microsoft's culture. They see themselves as a Windows company, not a software/services company, even still, despite Nadella's proclamation (which wasn't sufficiently different from Ballmer's when he took over). They have fallen into the trap where they see everything only as an opportunity to push the Windows brand, instead of products. They fail to see that the primary purpose for a company is to make money, NOT to simply chain the company to a specific product or brand. They're always looking for ways to shoehorn "Windows" (where the definition of that varies from the OS product to just the brand name) into new products, which leads them to make bad products the market doesn't want. Even Nadella demonstrates this by insisting everything must run on the same Windows kernel. XBox consumer don't care, even the slightest, about the OS kernel in the unit. Nor do smartphone purchasers. Nor, fundamentally, do most computer users. All they care about is what can they DO with the product. Will it play my games/run my apps/run my programs? will there be a constant stream of fresh new content and experiences for it? If the answer is no, there is no amount of "Windows" they can add to save it. The XBox brand grew from nothing, with no visible link to Windows in its first form (although yes, it was based on Win2k) and the 360 was a completely unique OS, and was a huge success (aside from the hardware failure issues). This alone should have been proof that Microsoft doesn't need everything to be Windows, but no, they simply planned on how to make the XBox One into a Windows box.

Windows (and DOS) built Microsoft, but Windows will also kill Microsoft if they don't start looking at products instead of "Windows" of opportunity.
Do you already have sales / customers? It's usually a terrible idea to outsource customer development early because you don't get that critical feedback for your product until you figure out the real reasons why customers aren't buying / renewing / using.

It might be too early to hire an intern or sales rep, but definitely read up on Jason Lemkin's sales stuff. It'll give you good benchmarks and rules of thumb that will save tons of time figuring out on your own.

For codata vs data, this post worked for me: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2007/07/data-and-codata.html

Roughly, data is of finite size, and codata is of infinite size. Consider a (normal finite) list vs an infinite lazy list.

The standard pattern for working with data is to break it into smaller pieces, using pattern matching, till you hit a base case. In Scheme (hopefully close enough to CL you can read it; and not using pattern matching, but whateva) you write stuff like

(define (foldr f zero lst)
(cond lst
[(null? lst) zero]
[else (f (car lst) (foldr f zero (cdr lst)))]))

We break lst into smaller pieces till we hit the base case of the empty list. Classic stuff and everyone knows it.

Now what about codata? You can't break down infinite data till you hit a base case, because there is no base case. It's infinite! So you apply the Fundamental Theorem of Pretending You Understand Category Theory, and prepend co- to all technical terms in the description for data.

So if data is processed using pattern matching and recursion, then codata is processed using copattern matching and corecursion.

By a strange quirk of fate this actually makes sense. You can read more about corecursion (aka coinduction) on your local Internet, and I guess copatterns, as described in the post, are the next piece of the puzzle.

There is a slight analogy with setf but it doesn't go very far.

HTH.
Fair enough, but Gates didn't help himself either. The point is that you never know when an executive will vent his frustration with the process in a way that comes across to the jury as arrogant and disdainful. You might very well prefer to make your case on a neutral paper record instead of on a jury's perception of your executives' testimony.
The parent comment seems to be endorsing provision of dedicated space to bikers. The fact that "biker on road" is safer for everyone than "biker on sidewalk" isn't any sort of an argument against that.

Agree with this completely.

What I still don't understand is everyone is ok with someone going 15 mph or less, only wearing a helmet, with no license or understanding of traffic. Cyclists should pass a road license just like motorbikes to be on the roads IMO. Bike lanes, fine, no license. Get on the road with cars, you better understand the risks. Especially when you go 6 cyclists wide and absolutely refuse to move over or go single profile. That's just ignorance.

However, governments are blocking electric cars entirely that pass safety ratings and require valid drivers licenses from entering the market. Go figure that one out. Instead of putting more people on bikes why aren't electric cars allowed on the roads in cities?

> there's no Ivy League school with a top CS program

How do you define "top CS program"? I can't find a ranking that doesn't have Cornell or Princeton in the top 10. Defining "top program" as top 5 seems a bit odd (even then Cornell occasionally makes the list)
