It's quite demonstrably true that contracts have been used to constrain government action over and over again in US history. See for example Reclamation water contracts in the west vs. all manner of conservation laws.

Yes, it's weird. It's just a right wing anti-environmental tactic. In order to permanently circumvent some environmental protection they don't like (clean air, clean water, endangered species) they make a deal with some pri

No room for buses, trains, or regular bicycles? The nice thing about a regular bicycle is the unlimited range. Whereas the nice thing about an electric bike is the speed. My personal hierarchy is more like this: 0-1 miles: walk 1-10 mile

According to the Lime app, there are at least 50 Lime-S scooters within 1km of the corner of Broadway and Telegraph right now. There are 9 outside 12th St BART alone.

There were 6 on each corner of Broadway & Grand at 7am today.

Oakland, California has some of the worst streets in America, and getting worse. There are Limes and Birds on every corner of downtown.

Motivate provides detailed data on usage. You can download it at [1]. Do Lime, Bird, etc provide it? https://s3.amazonaws.com/fordgobike-data/index.html

It's more about the perception than the reality. People won't let their kids out because it appears to be rather dangerous. They drive them everywhere instead. The dig at Americans' self image as "rich" is a refer

Traffic safety is the main reason that US kids aren't out there playing. Because we're "rich" we've created a car-choked hellscape where nobody can be outside. We're so much more "rich" than those b

There are Finland-sized entities within the USA that also do this. For example Los Angeles County, twice as large as Finland. When you are pondering the question of why all USA is not as integrated as Finland, ask yourself also why Finland

It's actually quite difficult to get utilization up past about 60% on average at a large scale, and when utilization increases efficiency decreases (from missed clock turbo opportunities and other microarchitectural feedback). So if y

Hrmm yes a fair point. Also I see this paper suggests burning half a percent of your CPU resources for time synchronization which they wave away but I find to be quite substantial.

Euclid to Grizzly Peak is canon. You can see it clearly on the Strava heatmap.

Interesting. Your routes are much worse :-/ From downtown Berkeley to Grizzly Peak it routes me up Marin Avenue, a 30-degree slope that nobody would willingly bicycle up.

I think bicycling directions might be the hardest thing. Google has it but it's pretty bad. It often tries to send me up routes that are shorter but MUCH too steep [1], or up an off-road trail on which bicycles are forbidden [2]. Th

How it is central? I use an iMac and an iPhone exclusively and I have done so since those things existed, but I never use iTunes. What's it good for?

They still don't have bicycling directions or transit directions in many cities. They still show businesses that were demolished years ago. They don't have indoor maps of anywhere near the number of places that Google has.

Being banned by a user-moderated forum is not equivalent to being censored by a social media platform.

Yes that’s what I mean by bending over backwards. Twitter is actually a “safe space” for Nazis.

A bit of both-sides-ism here. The poll shows that Republicans almost universally believe that these companies censor their viewpoint, despite the fact that these companies have bent over backwards to accommodate those views and to give th

If you own an e-bike that can exceed 28 MPH then it is unlawful in most jurisdictions to operate it on any bike lane or path, and you need a motorcycle license to operate it on a road. The equivalent law for cars would be if your car can ex

It’s amazing that we allow a car to be sold that can go this fast. They bothered to pass a law limiting electric bicycles to 28 MPH but my car will go 155. Why?

"Typical" availability number is both low and wishy-washy.

Why don't you run your test suite with dynamic linking, then? I've certainly worked at large, successful companies with enormous C++ codebases where unoptimized tests are run with dynamic linking and production binaries optimized
