The only way to not be an asshole riding one on the sidewalk is to essentially not go faster than walking, at which point why bother?

In other words, it's a bit of a danger, and also really annoying.

Yeah, but scooter companies won't have a business without people riding them on the sidewalk, because riding them on the street is terrifying, and it's not possible that the companies don't know it.

Updated my comment: what I'm saying is that there isn't actually any cluttering, not that cluttering is OK.

That's what I'm saying, the "reported cash profit" includes stock-based compensation as an expense exactly like regular salaries. You don't even have to know what dilution means.

The sidewalk cluttering is such a non-issue. The real problem is people riding them on the sidewalks, which is annoying and best and dangerous at worst. Riding them in the street, on the other hand, is scary, I'm pretty sure too sc

I just tried one yesterday, it managed to simultaneously feel uncomfortably dangerous and be pointlessly slow. To give context on my threshold for things "feeling dangerous", I used to be a bike messenger in NYC.

I agree with you there (one reason I sell all my goog)

To "ignorant" shareholders, there's no difference between stock and cash compensation.

by s17n 9y ago
Stock based compensation is reported as an expense in income statements, so, you're wrong.

It's almost like having people be responsible for their own healthcare doesn't actually work in the real world.

If the value that the journal is providing is curatorial, then that's what they should charge for - give the papers away, charge for the table of contents.

In many places the local pizza place also sucks, the OP might have no idea what they are missing.

AI is not yet complex enough to warrant such a discipline. Obviously, like any other tool, AI systems are part of the purview of anyone studying how society works (and as a particularly complicated tool, deserve a particularly extensive exa

Well my kap 140 sure doesn't do any of that stuff.

Well all that an actual autopilot (on a plane) does is maintain your velocity and heading, so if anything the name is underselling it.

Pretty sure that driving tests for humans do absolutely nothing - if you eliminated the whole process (and replaced it with a simple age requirement) it wouldn't show up in safety stats at all On the other hand, any self driving compan

This is the opposite of true. Governments are the only entities that seem to be willing to fund basic research. And he department of defense, in addition to funding things like DARPA that have built the world as we know it, has proven wil

Right, the difference is that the former isn’t real. When you have millions to billions of LoC developed by thousands to hundreds of thousands of developers anything not forced isn’t going to be consistent.
624.
by s17n 9y ago
Nope, the point is consistency in large organizations. In other languages, teams develop naming conventions like these. Having them in the language reduces the overhead of reading a new codebase.

Implicit interfaces are the single best part of Go. And the “too much magic” comment is so misguided - author complains it is bad for large codebases but it’s exactly the opposite. In the real world everyone uses conventions like those en

They could easily add more visibility levels (by using keywords like Java). They haven’t because it’s unnecessary and confusing.

Actually, all the issues that you bring up are easy - being oblivious isn't a defense in any other aspect of the law and it shouldn't be for rape either. If you didn't realize that you didn't have consent, sucks to be yo

1 and 2 are trivially fixable. 3 and 4 are pretty fundamental though, especially 3 - if you don't want to force everybody to keep up with head, you probably don't want to use a monorepo.
