I dont know a lot about the subject, but the previous post says "except those provisions which by their very nature can have no application."

Bike speed runs on human effort, id say a human being going with a bike at car speed is unreasonable. Also there are many very "natural" considerations on bike speeds: bad terrain, just going over a hill, cramps, and all sorts of bodily flaws that make speed limits on bikes unreasonable.

I would never use a bike on a highway though, but there is an undeniable benefit in supporting bikes in any big city, for health, transit, space, economic and environmental issues.
When Fup died in 2007, it made the top page of Reddit. I was a bit surprised and delighted to see such a piece of Portlandia get worldwide e-fame, even as I mourned her passing. Only met her once or twice. She was old and not quite so mobile by the time I even saw her.

Also, I was thinking more along the lines of using randomness + probabilistic models to shortcut the actual calculations involved. Since quantum mechanics already involves a lot of probability (to which depth we don't really understand yet), it seems that this should be feasible.

Does anyone have any data to compare the chance of a person at fault being criminally charged in a deadly car-car accident (no DUI or hit-and-run) to this effectively nil chance in deadly car-bike accidents? The article fails to mention it, yet makes multiple comparisons.

Edit: Did some googling, found this article (http://cironline.org/reports/bay-area-drivers-who-kill-pedes...) that finds that 60% of those at fault in deadly pedestrian accidents are not charged in accidents. Of those charged, many are not suspended. (Note the small sample size of 238) Does this point to a larger problem of drivers not being held accountable, period?

This article (http://www.gjel.com/blog/is-traffic-violence-sufficiently-pr...) provides a small amount of insight into the problem. Note this article is by an attorney and probably isn't free of conflicts of interest....

I'd steer clear of meetups, hackathons, etc. Most of them are polluted with low signal/noise. I've found them to be a total waste of time but it's a great way to get that initial job if you don't have one already. You need things that are curated by cost, signal, or strong mutual acquaintance. Meetups usually don't have high enough obstacles to avoid pretend programmers.

The best way is engaging smart coworkers. These are the people that are going to vouch for you, shortcut the hiring process, help carve out good opportunities for you.

Other things I've done with varying success is randomly contact people off forums that I might be in a position to immediately help; inform existing contacts and ask them if they know people that I should meet out there; develop parallel hobbies like soccer, rock climbing, etc that can segue into deeper friendships. Engaging quality coworkers and these other activities tend to compound over time.
Well, there are still a couple of good ones. The Economist is exceptional, but it's there. Foreign Policy is also pretty good, though it the opinions are less polished - it seems written by people who haven't had to defend their article in front of colleagues before publishing. Anyway, it's good. On the tech front there's Anandtech and partly Ars Technica. I doubt the world has seen much better journalism than those four.

The pageview journalism model is fascinating. Initially you just had to produce cheap content in volume. Now you actually have to build the incentive structure so that most of your content is free. The payouts to writers become somewhat of a skill based lottery.

Much like Bitcoin mining, there are only so many pageviews per day. You can optimize certain behaviors to increase your pageviews and ad impressions -- more ad units, auto reloading pages, slideshows, more side links, etc. Publishers doing this increase their slice of the pie. Big brand advertisers appear to not track sales at all so quality publishers basically subsidize the low quality content farms.

Fighting back is possible. If you see a weird article that friends are sharing, look up the writer. Many of these people are amateur writers or college students. Facts are wrong (happens in real journalism too.) Some of the 'controversies' in technology today are almost completely made up but they attract pageviews, so they keep getting written about.

One thing I learned when I was earlier was that a lot of articles in the professional business press where complete trash for an entrepreneur -- Fortune, Forbes, Harvard Business Review. They had some basis in fact but consisted of a lot of noise written by writers who probably didn't know what they were writing about (with exceptions, which is why I kept reading.) What happens when the people who do read get not only noise but noise that no one fact checked? Twitter, Youtube, and fact based organizations (Human Rights Watch, ACLU) publishing material to all instantly balance even this ocean of crap out. I think despite the negatives we remain much better informed than the past.

There was more to the Skylight rebrand than Live. The idea was to bind the services to the Windows brand, a strong brand in the US, instead of MSN, which is a stronger brand outside the US.

Also, the integration was tighter, so the experience was supposed to be seamless. YMMV. It wasn't like we grabbed a can of "Live" spraypaint and hit everything we could see.

I think you're making it out to be worse than it really is.

Bananas are heavily chemically treated with ethylene, an inert gas which causes plants to ripen faster and is harmless to humans.

(Fun fact: It's why bananas are never put next to other fruit in the supermarket, because they will cause other fruit to ripen and spoil faster.)

Bananas also haven't been a monoculture since day 1 either - but have been developed that way through centuries of selective breeding. The article outlines the monoculture problem quite well, but doesn't really mention that it's because the consumable plant [mostly] only reproduces asexually.

What's wrong with using tiny stickers on fruit for 'branding'?
I think that adopting Windows phone came with a pile of money, so it's hard to weigh the pros and cons without more information.
For example - how would you handle an overpopulation by a toddlers? Would you set them free into the wild or euthanize?

This is an incoherent analogy brought about by anthropomorphizing non-human creatures, and were it followed through on it would do immeasurable harm to the very creatures you wish to protect. To take the example of pills versus spaying/neutering (so, in your analogy, these hordes of toddlers can reproduce), you assume that their owners would universally be responsible enough to and capable of administering the pill, and that those who were not sufficiently responsible would do something other than abandon the animal when it began menstruating (in the case of a female dog or cat) or behaving in a sexually aggressive manner (in the case of a male).

Then you assert that giving them "rights" would induce people to behave well, presumably under the threat of punishment. This might actually result in a similar situation to toddlers -- forbidden to leave the house or go out of sight of their owners, forbidden to play in potentially dangerous situations, and a variety of other consequences that would be terrible for cats or dogs because they are not human and to treat them equivalently is cruel to the animal.
Wait, so you're advocating for pill-based animal birth control as an alternative to surgical sterilization, on the basis that subjecting animals to surgery to spay or neuter them is medieval and inhumane?

I want to make sure I'm clear on your proposal before I address it.

Edit: Your edit indicates that yes, I have your position correct. I would submit that we don't do that because it's untenable to round up every stray animal (or even any particular stray animal) and administer a birth control pill every single day. It has very little to do with cost (except in the sense that to implement such a plan would be incredibly, prohibitively expensive) and very much to do with practicality; it is far easier and far more effective to spay or neuter an animal once and then release them back to where they were than to track down, catch, administer pills that risk being ineffective if you miss a dose, and then release again, every day for the duration of the animal's life post sexual maturity.

This is not really true. If your job prior to the internet was to earn six figures from covering celebrities then yes, your suffering. However, if your job as a writer was to use proper grammar and write logical correct and intelligent works, you can still find a lot of work paid very well. I'm consistently surprised how high writers are compensated in urban centers (although a lot seem to work remotely as well).
There are other reasons for not using i, e.g. iTouch, iWatch

> Bikes aren't automobiles no matter how much we debate about it. They shouldn't be sharing the road with cars.

I think you're confusing roads with highways. A highway is a place that cars goes and bikes can't go. A bike path is a place that bikes go and cars can't go. Roads are for cars and bikes and for people to live on and near and cross on foot regularly. Imagine a cyclist saying "Cars don't operate at human-scale speeds no matter how much we debate about it. They shouldn't be sharing the road with bikes and people." See how car-centric the debate is, that such a statement will be immediately dismissed.

> Bikes shouldn't be sharing the road with cars, they should have their own designated travel areas.

Everyone agrees that bikes should have their own designated areas, and cyclists especially would like nothing more than to see designated bike lanes and paths everywhere. Where those are absent, which is nearly everywhere even in urban centers in the US, traffic laws and infrastructure should be designed to accommodate all different types of road users, and preferably without killing as many of them as are currently killed each year.
It still looks horrific from the outside though. The Barbican and the National Theatre etc should be flattened and rebuilt.

Maybe you could display the data as it is loading?
So instead of making the user wait to see all the results you could show the user as the server drip feeds the results to the browser.
Just a suggestion.

You produce a lot of data but it is hard to make sense of it all, maybe some kind of comparison tool would be useful?

Also I am very curious how you managed to do the whole nearby celebrity address thing?

This actually has a lot of potential, but I am not sure if you could profit by selling this to real estate agents as something like this kind of makes their job obsolete.

Maybe you could target the renters demographic, people who rent generally switch locations more often (therefore more recurrent to your service) and are not as accommodated by real estate agents and other third parties (probably because they are not spending as much so no fat commissions).

I don't know your business model very well but another idea is maybe leaving the service free and placing advertisements. Your user demographic is looking to buy or rent a property - very valuable to advertisers.
So maybe you should cache the pages you generate and add them to an automatically generated sitemap allowing google to index those and hopefully you will start appearing on search results for people looking to buy a property.
If you want to be really aggressive you could scrape property listings off real estate websites and pre-generate those to be indexed by google with the intention of appearing on search results.

Sorry, I'm rambling here ;)

Hey. You're completely missing it. The Y combinator shows that full general computation, including recursion and iteration, derives automatically and inevitably from just basic rewrite rules. Obviously it is too raw to be used directly. But if you design/implement any system with rewrite rules, you have provided indefinite power for recursions, and you have opened the Pandora box of undecidable-termination. This means that decidable computation can only occur without rewriting, which is incredibly restricted.

Food for thought.
What's your opinion on PSHDL and Chisel? They try to solve these problems in very different ways. PSHDL can interact with standard VHDL code. Chisel can generate Verilog and C++-based cycle-accurate software simulators.

I dread passing a cyclist, and always wonder what the legal/criminal consequences would be if the cyclist swerved in front of me while trying to pass a parked car (no bike lane).

EDIT: I meant a two lane road. I'm in the left lane. Cars are parked in the right lane sporadically. A cyclist is in the right lane, but veers into the left lane to go around it.

I don't know whether to feel reassured or what, but I'd rather sky dive to work than ride in the road while the average person drove by me.

Apple could dramatically accelerate this process by switching their own new development from ObjC to Swift. The huge amount of legacy code means this couldn't happen overnight, but if Apple is obviously making the switch for their own new development, Swift will have a huge credibility boost. Apple wouldn't be able to abandon it (or let development stall) without hurting themselves. Until Apple puts themselves at a similar degree of risk as other Swift adopters, developers are going to wonder about the wisdom of committing to an Apple-only platform that Apple hasn't committed to.

The problem with click-bait is that it's so omnipresent with websites like BuzzFeed that if a journalist uses a non-factual title for an opinion piece, people say it's click bait. IMHO it's really fine in that case.
Respectfully, you seem a bit unhinged over this.

How, exactly, are you harmed by having to share the road safely with non-motor vehicles? Your stated concern over protection applies equally to motorcyclists, yet you seem to have no problem with them.

Your real concern seems to a presumption that you would get to work faster if it weren't for bicyclists. This is very unlikely in reality, and certainly no more than a couple minutes in the worst case. A belief that your right to get to work 2 minutes faster trumps other citizens' entitlement to use and enjoy public rights of way safely is somewhat sociopathic.

I can relate, though. This is what car commuting does to a lot of people. It's dog-eat-dog and me-first out there, with few norms of or need for civility. I've been there. It eats away at you progressively and makes life objectively worse. Explore your options for transit or ride-sharing or find a job you can walk, bike or take transit to. It really makes a huge difference in quality of life.
Kind of curious why the suggested way of installing is directly into the root python install. I figured it would have some sort of guide using virtualenv. I did see a requirements.txt in the repo, so I tried installing it in a virtual environment myself but had some issues compiling some modules (Tried both 2.7 and 3.4). I gave up at that point because it was more trouble than it was worth.

I really like the idea of this wiki as well as the look of it. I could definitely see myself using this in the future. I had spent some time a couple months ago looking into what Flask-based wikis were available but my results turned up very little. I'll definitely be watching this repo as it grows.

I think a partial solution is to limit breeding and selling for profit, aka puppy/kitten mills. There are plenty of cats and dogs out there and we don't need people breeding them for profit in deplorable conditions, making more so that they can end up in shelters where they will be killed. Obviously law can only go so far, but only the really big factory farms would need to be targeted. Removing the profit incentives from such operations would effectively shut them down.

Also, it'd help to end discrimination, for lack of a better word, against many dog types like pitbulls, etc. in apartment leases and such. Many animals are given to shelters when their owner moves and is no longer allowed to keep the animal and many are not adopted because of such conditions in the lease. Either an apartment allows dogs or not.

Finally, there are a lot of people who would be more than glad to feed stray cats and dogs and many strays are very friendly. Not all cats and dogs are dangerous, so why shouldn't we allow them to roam about? Yes, they can get killed, sick, die from starvation etc., but they might also be taken care of by the locals and live. That's just life.
While I understand it's meant to be a silly question, a serious treatment would need to remember that many of the states have nuclear weapons.
Exactly! Look at eg primitive recursion for an interesting subset of computation that does not suffer from undecidability.

Most programmers are familiar with regular expressions, too. There are another interesting subset.
