Just this morning I added several copies of books 1,2 & 3 of the Wheel Of Time series to a random Little Free Library because I had so much fun reading them and I hoped others would as well.
In cases similar to desktops with electron vs. native (although with different requirements) where either you need access to significant native features that are not supported in the browser, or if your app is process intensive, i.e. graphics heavy games.
The statistics shown on how helmet laws actually lead to an increase in cycling accidents is very interesting. I wonder what the correlation is on this? Is it because cyclists not wearing helmets generally bike in a safer manner? Or maybe if there are no helmet laws, then streets designed for bikes are designed with more safety in mind?
An interesting note about bike shares usage. I have seen some very effective bike sharing programs but also some very ineffective ones. In San Jose, there is a bike share program, but the bikes themselves cost $9 to ride, while in London the bike share cost 2p (~3-4$). The price point made all the difference to me.
I think the telling quote of the article is the last sentance which sums up his feelings on the current US situation
- "The situation that many in-demand U.S. cities find themselves in is an example of extreme “market failure,” which is what bureaucrats call regulatory failure; and is also extremely unnatural"
Basically he is saying that "bureaucrats" ineffectively regulated the market to the point of failure, or where the market could no longer compensate for the demand which causes a lack of affordable housing.
So I think he isn't calling for more / less regulation, but better slash more effective regulation that allows the market to operate.
His proposal is two-fold, for those who want a summary.
1) Build better transit to connect areas that are affordable (or areas at all i.e. San Jose / Oakland) to central business districts
2) To accomplish this by creating a centralized governing authority for the whole Bay Area.
I wonder if this kind of consolidation has ever happened before. Did New York City absorb areas that it now controls as it evolved, or did the parties agree afterward to some symbiotic relationship?
This is a fairly technical analysis, and the terminology used in many cases is above what I know about networking. But the one quote that will stick is this.
"There is no such a thing as a temporary change or workaround: In most cases, workarounds are tech debt."
This headline is a bit misleading. It says that Tests of the EMDrive were successful in the laboratory setting and that they are currently testing it onboard the Tiangong 2.
It does not reference results of the Tiangong 2 tests.
Hoping this continues.
