John Forester's cult of Vehicular Cycling. Cycling in the US has been crippled for decades by a delusional group of ideologues who believe bicycles belong in the middle of regular motor vehicle lanes, even on 50mph state highways, and who will actively seek to prevent dedicated bicycle facilities from being built if it means people will ride in ways they disapprove of.
I doubt if they've been influential enough to cripple cycling. They seem to be confined to online ranting in their own little echo chamber. Thankfully.
Collaboration and decision-making prioritize the customers. Reality-based, prospective and high-quality touchpoints diligently aggregate business enabling and/or value-added plans. The executive committee empowers socially enabled communications, whereas the resource quickly maximizes pre-integrated targets. The game changers stay in the mix. The resources differentially institutionalize our executive-level solution providers; this is why our focus turbocharges a granularity. The senior support staff establishes the scoping, while a business-for-business collaboration genuinely synergizes the executive committee. The gatekeeper technically embraces our verifiable platforms over the long term.
LOL! Wal-Mart has to "deal with wages costs!" HAHAHA! That's a good one! From the company that pays starvation wages and accompanies pay checks with info about where to apply for food stamps!
It was a mistake to keep Turkey out of the EU. If they had been given a pathway to membership in the 1990s they would have had to avoid all this Trumpist protectionism nonsense, they'd have gotten with the program, and they'd have opened their market up to international competition. Instead the hand of extremists has been strengthened in a country where the progressive side of politics once stood a decent chance of modernizing the place.
Well that's odd. When I call the California Highway Patrol to report hazards on the freeway, they always seem to know which freeway I'm on before I tell them.
The French have the right idea in this case. There's no reason to pamper this monster and give him a lifestyle potentially better than law abiding citizens.
Recidivism in France is at 59%. In Norway it's 20%.
False. The Breviks of this world are an exception to the rule. Humans evolved to cooperate. Those who didn't pull their weight were generally less fruitful in the reproductive stakes and those anti-social traits remain rare.
Bull. Local programming is of huge interest to local audiences. That older technologies were only capable of reaching a local area is just a happy coincidence. In any case it's still a whole lot easier to access FM radio in your car than some internet streamed service.
Not for long. The NIMBY crowd is pretty vocal in the rest of the Bay Area too, and they've had some success at strangling housing supply. But you try explaining that to the numbskulls in the anti-growth movement.
I agree. Frontline is one of the few American documentaries worth watching. A lot of the crap on Netflix or Amazon Prime is just repetitive bullshit that keeps asking the same question over and over again, plays the same footage on a loop, and keeps you waiting to the end of the show for the answer.
Some lawmakers were not so keen on the fast-tracking of this legislation. Checks and balances are there for a reason, it's a shame that they can be sidetracked when politically expedient.
We've had only a few major redesigns since 1997; we think it's time for another. But we really do take to heart the comments you've made about the look and functionality of the beta site that houses Slashdot's future look. So let's all slow down. Right now, we're directing 25 percent of non-logged-in users to the beta; it's a significant number, but it's the best way for us to test drive this new design, to have you show us what pieces need to be fixed, and how. If you want to move back to Classic Slashdot, that path is available: from the Slashdot Beta page, you just need to select the "Slashdot Classic" link from the footer (or this link). We're committed to keep you informed of the plans as changes are implemented; we can't promise that every user will like every change, but we don't want anything to come as a surprise. Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready. And — okay, we've got it — it's not ready. We have work to do on four big areas: feature parity (especially for commenting); the overall UI, especially in terms of information density and headline scanning; plain old bugs; and, lastly, the need for a better framework for communicating about the How and the Why of this process. Some of you have suggested we're not listening; on the contrary, some of us are 'listening' pretty much full-time. We're keeping you informed of this process, because we're a community and we want to take everyone with us. But, yes, we're trying something new. Why? We want to take our current content and all the stuff that matters to this community and deliver it on a site that still speaks to the interests and habits of our current audience, but that is, at the same time, more accessible and shareable by a wider audience. We want to give our current audience the space where they are comfortable. And we want a platform where we can experiment with different views of both comments and stories. It's not an either/or. It's going to be both. If we haven't communicated that well enough, consider this post a first step to fixing that. And in the meantime, we're not sorry to have received a flood of feedback, most of it specific, constructive and substantive. Please keep it coming. We will be adding more specific info here in the days to come.
Hear hear. I've gone back to Classic and I'm afraid to look at Beta in case I can't return. I like being able to see at a glance if anyone has replied to my comments and what score I got for them. Couldn't do that in Beta last time I looked. In fact I found it almost impossible to find my comments, it's as if my comments were lost.
Slashdot Mirror
Windows 10 telemetry is the Top of the Pops in that area at the moment.
Meaning it's obsolete?

cyclists are already banned from certain roads that don't have a dedicated bicycle lane, even in california.
Where? There are very few roads where this applies.

There is no growing women safety issues.
There is growing international (and national) awareness to the general un safety/danger for women.
Well since an issue could be an awareness of the dangers women are in, I'd have to award you the most-boring-pedantic-comment-of-the-year award.
When I call 911 from the freeway it goes straight to the California Highway Patrol. They say "CHP, what are you reporting?"
Well that's odd. When I call the California Highway Patrol to report hazards on the freeway, they always seem to know which freeway I'm on before I tell them.
TL:DR
Amazing how that isn't clear to everyone by now.
Do not underestimate the influence of Fox "all government spending is wasteful unless it's on military toys" News.
Pretty much.

People in general are horrible evil animals.

Those Nimbys living in the Atlantic Ocean will object to anything.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.

Bit of 90s styling though.
Well they don't actually. The constitution obligates them to do their job and approve a nomination.
I agree. Frontline is one of the few American documentaries worth watching. A lot of the crap on Netflix or Amazon Prime is just repetitive bullshit that keeps asking the same question over and over again, plays the same footage on a loop, and keeps you waiting to the end of the show for the answer.
See? See? I told you! See? Big government can't do anything right! If you want something done right, you get the private secto.... oh

But what about the Doomsday Device Gap?!
I see you and I raise you. What about a mineshaft gap?
