> "I doubt it's racist. And who cares anyway. If someone doesn't "prefer" you, then what have you lost, and why would you want to be with them? There are plenty of other people."

That's a fine opinion if we lived in a vacuum where perhaps every interaction was unique.

However, in an aggregate we see trends and inequality. If you're a segment that gets penalized for your race from most segments, do you not see why people would care? It doesn't mean people should be accused of being racist or should have to change their preference, rather we should be open to discuss why things are the way they are, not unlike race/gender imbalance in the tech world.
You aren't familiar with two decades of Casio databank watches?
The median home value in Pleasanton is 850k. 100k more than San Jose. If you are trying to save money, that's probably not the place to do it. Really you are looking at Antioch/Concord up 680 or over the Altamont on 580 to Tracy if you want to get significantly more affordable. Both are heinous commutes though.

As a kid, I had a parent that worked at the Almaden IBM campus. The commute from the Livermore/Pleasanton area was about 40-50 minutes going over 84. Crazy how much worse traffic is now, I can't imagine making that drive daily now. They've been working on the the 237/Mission exits on 680 for nearly 20 years and it has only gotten worse.

Remember when Apple made fun of big screens with the iPhone 5 ad?
And I appreciate it. But it would be nice to have some built-in way to nix them. Right now I'm browsing on a MacBook Air 11" which has just 768 pixels of height. Between the menu bar, firefox UI and fixed site header, I'm left with a claustrophobic slit to view the content in.

And then I love to browse many websites by zooming in and leaning back; but once you zoom in a few steps these headers magnify to the point of absurdity.
Hmm, aren't those warnings about sitting talking about a sort of ridiculous extreme though, sitting in one position for most of the day? You maybe get that on long-distance airplane flights (and even then, you take bathroom trips etc), but even people with desk jobs almost never really sit all day like that....

[And in the of long-distance airplane flights, the whole deep-vein-thrombosis thing does actually seem to be a documented problem, if a pretty rare one...]
Nice. I'm curious to see how the UI looks for the other person. I'm imagining some sort of grid where they can select available time slots?
Wow, I never thought I'd be accused of being an Apple shill!

I don't know which bits look common or cheap to you, I quite like the use of Sapphire (usually only used on high end watches) and stainless steel. I just think the unit itself is still a bit chunky, as I'm a fan of slim watches.

As far as personalization goes, I think if there were an identical unit running Android, it would be inherently more tweakable, and the main reason I won't be buying one of these is that it will invariably be designed to only work well with IOS / OSX devices (of which I own none).
So you're saying he forgot Poland?
Hmmm, unless people are buying bananas and throwing them out, the demand for bananas is real and not artificial. It's a little surprising you group the crop with manufactured consumables like trans-fats and HFCS.

Bananas are one of the oldest agricultural crops known to man (8000 BC) - there's no reason to "go bananas" about them.

The reason why artificial flavors in general are different, is that a plant's flavor is made of a lot of different chemicals, and artificial flavorings only include the most noticeable (and least expensive) ones - so all the subtleties get left out.

No idea if the change of banana varieties also affects it, or not.

> Actually if you want to take that article literally it means that in almost every case a cyclist is killed it's their fault.

Right, because all police officers and DAs and everyone is 100% unbiased in all circumstances no matter what?

Also from the article:

"Take Sgt. Richard Ernst of the San Francisco Police Department, who confronted people holding a memorial at the scene of Ms. Le Moullac’s death. Parking his squad car in the bike lane, forcing other cyclists into the very traffic that killed Ms. Le Moullac, Sergeant Ernst berated those gathered, according to witnesses, and insisted that Ms. Le Moullac had been at fault. Days earlier, the department had told cycling activists that it had been unable to find surveillance footage of the crash.

Provoked by Sergeant Ernst, people at the memorial decided to look for themselves. It took them all of 10 minutes to find an auto shop nearby with a camera that had footage of the incident. The police eventually admitted that the truck driver was at fault, but they still have not pressed charges."

Truck runs over and kills woman. Cops don't cite or charge truck driver, nor do they investigate. Friends do investigate, turns out the driver was at fault. Still no charges by the DA. Clearly there is some bias.
Thanks. I support cycling, I think it's great. I wish it was easier and more practical to do in the U.S.

What I don't support is this weird viewpoint that lots of American cyclists seem to have that the world revolves around their hobby and/or transportation choice. America was built around the car, it sucks, but that's the way it is. I don't like it, I wish it wasn't that way and I'm absolutely in love with the current trend in urban planning to de-emphasize the car and reemphasize more efficient transport modes: bikes, trams, subways, etc.

As somebody who doesn't live in a city, this trend is not good for me because it makes it hard to get in and out of the city. But I recognize it as a better way for more people than just me and my car and I can get myself over my minor inconvenience and just drive to the local mass transit link and walk a bit instead of fighting for parking downtown.

There's a balance somewhere, but cyclists don't seem to want to recognize it. They want to feign anger and offense when motorists complain when they take their bikes onto roadways that were not intended or engineered for them and they block traffic and cause safety issues.

I recognize that not all cyclists are like this, but damn if the ones around my area aren't some kind of special crop of bastards (and there's enough of a population that bikes to support a very nice local bike shop I can walk to). I'm actually hoping that with better bike infrastructure more people get on bikes and drown these kinds of assholes out. The more people biking, the greater the political lobby to continue building out good balanced infrastructure for everybody and the more unacceptable it will be for bad cyclists to get onto automobile roads.

If you want an idea of the kind of nonsense I deal with almost weekly, here's a picture I found (not my area but looks close enough) https://imgur.com/q1xM217

To be clear, I don't really have a problem with this https://imgur.com/E8CGnmt other than I hope the guy on the left doesn't fall over or veer into highway traffic. But they're both off the road, not bothering anybody and doing their thing.

You know what I'd love to see in that second picture? A barrier between me and them and that shoulder turned into a dedicated, clearly marked bike trail. At intersections, I'd love to see tunnels and overpasses purpose built for them. I'd love love love that.

Unless causality is clearly articulated, it never should be assumed. Also, it never would be stated if there was not statistically significant data supporting it - keeping in mind this is a Time article and not the original source [0] so you're dependent on the writer knowing what they're talking about as well.

Given that the racial categories used are American (White/Black/Asian/Latino) I'm guessing this is only or mostly American data. In which case it probably should say so. "Race" is a culturally mediated difference and the categories of prejudice in other cultures aren't going to map to this in any universal way.

Unless you're kidding, that will never happen. The use of "solid" in the linked article is a figure of speech. Photons have no rest mass, so they cannot form solids.
Yes, because correlations don't prove causation. One might want to argue that people who are hypertensive consume more salt as an effect, not a cause. Not to argue that that is proven either, only that it should be on the list of possibilities that merit investigation.

I wish I had your weather neutrality. I grew up in the bay (Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Tri-Valley) and spent a couple years in Portland, OR. I liked the city a lot and tried to get used to the weather but just couldn't. The rain wasn't the problem, the constant darkness was. I like the rain and loved how green everything was up there, but even when it wasn't raining, it was dark. Came back to CA and will put up with its faults in exchange for the climate and activities.
Looks like it's got fixed because i cannot see any results.

That's...a really interesting point.
Also, and a big also, the Y-combinator exists in (untyped) lambda calculus---e.g. all you need is abstraction and application.

This came as a shock to Church when he invented it as he wanted to use LC as a language for mathematical logic and fixed point combinators spell out doom for logical purposes. He thus invented the simply typed lambda calculus to banish such constructions.
Absolutely. So I do things like put them on top of my head when entering restaurants, public restrooms, and small social gatherings. Anything that isn't intimate is fair game. If its not "rude" to walk around with your phone out, Google Glass is fair game.

IF someone wearing google glass looks 180 degrees within your direction and you get anxiety - that's a personal issue. IF Google Glass makes you never want to leave your house - then you live in San Fran when you shouldn't, or you have an irrational fear.

On top of that, for every 1 person that has an irrational fear of Google Glass, there are 99 people who are enthralled by it. So, democracy and all that.
The poorly dressed nerds you hang out with may not wear watches as often as they did in the 20th century, but that has little to do with fashion.

Throwing some anecdote into the ring - I grew up in a primarily white, rural area (in Australia). I went to a university in the city, which has a large Asian contingent (in fact the city as a whole is a lot more multicultural).

During my time there I noticed a drastic change in both the frequency and intensity of my attraction towards Asian women (though it was never particularly high in general). In particular, I noticed a significant (positive) change after spending significant in the direct company of Asian women (and men).

My belief for why this was the case has always been in-line with the authors statement

"I think that’s no coincidence. Beauty is a cultural idea as much as a physical one, and the standard is of course set by the dominant culture."

I had never had much of a chance to interact with Asians growing up, besides the local chinese restaurant and a few kids in my class. At university it felt like I had to overcome the 'newness' of these people I was meeting before I might be attracted to them.

I'm sure studies have tried to approach this idea; it seems like the same idea could apply to any minority that are 'different' enough from everyone else, even if there is no overt racism in play.

My thought after reading this—a great product would be an actual analog watch (quartz or mechanical) with the same styling and finishes that the Apple Watch has, with a much thinner case, that customers would use with Apple's bands. Take advantage of the immense design effort that went into the watch, but set aside the smart watch idea.

I'd buy that watch today for the same price as the Apple Watch.
I don't really follow what you're saying. How is designing something to match its price point distorting reality?
The premise is that the 50 states are at war with each other. It's hard to imagine the reasons for such a situation in the first place. If NM were losing to Texas on the south and Colorado on the north and the population being massacred then perhaps the modern day Curtis Le May - or Jack D. Ripper - would say it's a justified nuclear war since they are being destroyed anyway.

That lack of a real justification for the war in the first place is what makes it hard to have any meaningful response to the topic.
This is brilliant and one of the many reasons I love this site. Simple Bootstrap interface that cuts through the crap, the fancy user interfaces of ride sharing and taxi apps and gives me the information that I really want: the cost.

Now this has hit the homepage, it'll be interesting to see if Uber, Lyft and other providers cut you off from their API's. Presumably, some of these services don't want you to be able to compare estimated costs between competing offerings, but it also means that everyone is being kept honest and as a consumer, I think that is the most important thing of all.
Evaluating an Early Stage Startup to Join
Here's an easy one that's almost happened to me a few times.

Picture this.

http://wabikes.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Snohomish_bicy...

Guy on bike hits a rock or crack in the road or whatever and loses control, veers or falls in front of the car in his lane. Speed limit on the road is 40. No time to brake the driver is forced to cut across the double yellows into the oncoming lane where he hits another car head on (driving above the speed limit doing 50). Drivers in both cars are killed instantly.

Second scenario: seeing the oncoming car, the driver veers to the right, goes offroad and down an unseen gully, hits a tree head on and is taken to a hospital by an ambulance but dies from head injuries along the way.

Of course there's the third scenario where the cyclist is killed: Driver can't do anything, tries to brake, but runs over the cyclist killing him in the process.

All three scenarios are why I support this kind of road having dedicated bike-only zones off the shoulders.
Yes, filming 100% of the time while you are eating at a restaurant would cause unease. Reality TV does this with $10k cameras that are mounted on a dude's shoulder. You don't need Google Glass to know thats a bad idea, so contributing that bad idea to Google Glass isn't a fair comparison because you can do it with other items.
I'm well aware of cases like the recent CA Sheriff's Deputy, and think it would be appropriate to charge him with manslaughter.

I agreed with the rest of your comment, just thought that specific passage was starting to preach past.

My original point is that a police bias against bikers doesn't refute that in a different situation, a driver may be incorrectly civilly blamed for an accident. Let's say a biker comes around a corner on the wrong side of the road, the oncoming car manages to stop, yet the biker then hits the hood and unluckily dies. The biker is clearly responsible for this, yet if the driver's insurance pays out a $100k wrongful settlement, nobody is going to feel bad for them.

Also it's quite possible that "responsible for" was meant in the moral sense of controlling a ton of steel - that's what we want people to do, right?

I was referencing "sidewalks" still in the context of cars - a biker coming into an intersection from the sidewalk at speed is an unsafe menace.

Honestly reflecting on this thread, I bet this would be a ripe topic for researching degenerate us-vs-them politics.
Sure, but this could be analogous to sitting at a bar looking at your phone - you're at a bar, what are you doing there?!

Now, if it was the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, its probably a stunt. But yes, a bar is not a place for google glass. Just like work is a place for pants. Common sense folks.
> Personally I'm not going to get a smartwatch because I hate interruptions. I hate OS X notifications; I hate it when the phone rings; I hate reading Twitter (but it's an addiction that's sometimes hard to overcome). I certainly don't want a blob on my wrist endlessly buzzing and tapping away, trying to figure out my heart rate and mood and generally being a bothersome noisy little electronic snoop.

I agree with the sentiment, but, based on my interactions with OSX and iOS, I assume it's not essential that the watch buzz and interrupt you all the time. I have all popups & notifications disabled in OSX and iOS, and they're still great tools when you're ready to pay attention to them.

I won't be getting an Apple Watch v1 (because it's not waterproof, and well, v1), but it wouldn't surprise me if I bought one down the line. I think there's a lot of interesting things that can be done with all the new sensors, and UX.

What a wonderfully disgusting comment.
Well, in 1936 Church invented the LC in order to serve as a foundational logic for mathematics. This was around the time that Hilbert's Program was attempting to totally mechanize reasoning through rich logical languages and Church wanted to use LC to define the notion of "efficiently computable" which was part of Hilbert's specification.

The Y-combinator was discovered originally as a flaw in the LC. It meant that you couldn't use LC as a logical language because you could form infinite loops which are not just not efficiently computable (in a sense, har har) but also correspond to vacuous logical statements like "If A proves A then A is true" which, in the context of rules like reflexivity "If A then A" (provable in LC as λ x . x) is logical nonsense.

To be more clear, here's the Y combinator

λ f . (λ x . f (x x)) (λ x . f (x x))

and here's the Y-combinator applied to `id = λ x . x`

(λ x . (x x)) (λ x . (x x))

which reduces into itself—a dead loop and a logical inconsistency (named "omega" as the end of LC!)

Anyway, Church worked for the next 4 years to invent the Simply Typed Lambda Calculus which imposes a Russell-like typing discipline on the LC in order to outlaw the Y-combinator. This made LC more useful for logic (and indeed STLC models Gentzen's Natural Deduction logical system) but it threw away its ability to compute any "recursively enumerable" function. That latter thing was what eventually came to be the definition of "efficiently computable" (after corroboration between Church's LC, Turing's Turing Machines invented the next year).

And now we happen to care about writing programs which, in general, may be r.e. and so we use either untyped LC or typed LC which has logically unsound recursion principles.
