Traffic jam mystery solved by mathematicians
Mathematicians from the University of Exeter have solved the mystery of traffic jams by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent cause. Many traffic jams leave drivers baffled as they finally reach the end of a tail-back to find no visible cause for their delay.

To think they could have spent some time to figure out something important that we didn’t already know. Should they be plotting courses to saturn or something?

“The research team now plans to develop a model for cars equipped with new electronic devices, which could cut down on over-braking as a result of slow reactions.” …I really, really hope that this does not mean what I interpreted it as.

My thoughts when reading this: If engineers develop a braking technology that will increase under-braking by cutting down on over-braking, slow reacting people would be screwed…and so would the people in the car directly in front of Mr. or Mrs. Slow-Reaction.

where is the math used in this article!?
“over-braking as a result of slow reactions.”
is this the cause of L.A traffic? wow this article is lame!

http://vwisb7.vkw.tu-dresden.de/~treiber/MicroAppl …

My driver’s ed teacher taught us to drive a few (3-5) miles above the speed limit to keep the flow of traffic going.
Another good reason to stay sharp behind the wheel, avoid sudden maneuvers and braking, and maintain a consistent speed. The problem with most driver’s ed and motor vehicle departments is that they only teach you how to pass the test, not how to drive.

To all the nosy people that slow down when they see a police officer writing a ticket or helping with a fender bender on the shoulder, and the people that weave in and out of traffic that make other people behind them have to brake to avoid you, i just want to thank you. I don’t need to be home, I like spending an extra 20 minutes waiting in traffic

Mathematical Model describing why a slow reaction to one driver can cause enormous delays

Why this finding is “news” is beyond me.

Mathematicians from the University of Exeter have solved the mystery of traffic jams by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent cause.

interesting network effect

ah-Ha!

I knew there’s value in having some guts

Why does the site report this as a new solution, when traffic waves have been known about for ages?

Bad drivers = Heavy Traffic

RTFA. It is the reactionary “fast drivers” who brake quickly causing the jams.

stupid people who can’t drive, then get on cell phones.

I actually though this was obvious. When I’m driving in heavy traffic I try to keep my speed a constant by travelling slightly slower than the median speed of the car in front, thereby nullifying the shock-waves that pass through the traffic in front. I hope it works!

Great site, I remember reading it years ago. I especially liked the part where he tries to destroy the waves. The FAQ on page 4 is also interesting. Anyone have anecdotes to support his ‘plug’ theory?

Hopefully Paul is elected and there could be a whole lot more of this.

“Despite the reversal, CIGNA said in an e-mail statement before she died that there was a lack of medical evidence showing the procedure would work in Nataline’s case.”
So now health insurance companies are medical professionals who are able to interpret whether or not a REAL doctor’s orders are valid? Insurance companies know perfectly well that ALL transplants have a risk of failure. Would they have been willing to cover it if she did not have her other health problems? The poor girl survives cancer and her insurance company ends up killing her. Well, someone at CIGNA probably gets a nice holiday bonus for keeping costs down. Merry fucking Christmas.

Health insurance companies are about DENYING health care, not providing it. Until we have a not-for-profit health care system in this country, you are going to see this kind of thing a lot. Totally pathetic.

Repost for accuracy!!

My health care is great. Maybe you guys should be getting jobs before trying to drag me into your collectivist agendas.

Btw..guys i work in HealthCare. It’s true we do have the best. Why? Well i have met patients from pretty much every nation on earth at my hospital. I ask them why come here? They say…”It’s the best”. I will take the word of a Korean, Canadian, British, French, Saudi Arabian, Pakistani, Kuwaiti, Russian, Jamaican, Columbian and Hatian Cancer patient over the word of a Lazy, Uneducated, Ignorant, Anti-american, Anti-Capitalist, Cry baby Liberal anyday.

We fund raised for my friend with a rare form of sarcomaa for six months. Just so he could go to Boston and get the only treatment that worked for him. His insurance wouldn’t pay for it because it was in another state. Fuckers.

RON PAUL IS A DOCTOR AND COULD’VE SAVED THIS BOY BUT HIS PARENTS SHOULD HAVE HAD THE MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. DOCTORS HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE MONEY

this story is planted in the news by communists who want socialized medicine. I feel sorry for her but this news is also propaganda and has an agenda. Socialized medicine is another step towards more government involvement in our lives.

It was Bush’s drug bill that helped shoot prescription drug bills. My medication went from 100 to 145 overnight. F-cking @sshole. Californian hospitals have tried to slip anti-trust legislation exceptions for themselves in the last election here. Obviously in an attempt to collude and raise prices to extremely high levels. Thank god the voters turned down that proposition.

The only growth in our US economy has come from the medical field in the last few years. More nurses, more people on the payroll. Doctors earn much more than a decade ago. HMOs kill patients relationship with their doctors, 7 minute exam, in out thank you mam’ no questions, next.

Doctors and insurance companies like to perpetuate the myth that lawyers cause higher prices. There is no evidence, in fact of all the people injured only about 1 in thousands ever ends up suing. Also doctors pay has increased faster and there have been less lawsuits than in the past. So doctors are making a double killing.

“A 17-year old died just hours after her health insurance company reversed its decision not to pay for a liver transplant that doctors said the girl needed.”

While I appreciate your passion and message, might I suggest a cleaner approach? You have first hand knowledge and the RIGHT to be angry, but you’re going about it all wrong. The power of your vitriol is overshadowed by the “whining 8th grader” quality of your words.

Of course.

Unless I’m mistaken, in the proposed single-payer system, it is still the individual who negotiates with the provider, not the government. If this is true, then it still allows competition to foster innovation, but not on price.

I’m a bit lost here. How does deregulation help in this case? I would think the opposite would help. Companies like CIGNA have only one incentive and it’s pleasing their shareholders. How does one do that? Making profit. So I’m trying to understand what kind of incentive(s) is Ron Paul proposing from deregulation?

To those who say government-run care would be worse than private care:

unpopular comment here: is there an evolutionary advantage to allowing those with organs that fault into death in the individual’s teen years to simply die? isn’t this the definition of “survival of the fittest”?

What do you think Ty did to piss off his wife enough to write this article?

i totally think that death is near when i ride with a woman, and it actually is perfectly acceptable.

The one about men wanting to earn more than women pisses me off. The only reason you should earn more money is if you work harder, plain and simple. I’m not saying that women should make more just because we’re women, and patriarchal oppression, and blah blah blah, but men who bitch about needing to be the “breadwinner” just strike me as idiots. If earning more than your wife is what makes you feel like a man, then you’re not a real man. Everything else on the list I guess I agree with, although they’re not secrets, since I’ve watched stand-up comedy more than once.

I have been married for many years and I love my wife, but I would not recommend opening oneself up emotionally like a gutted fish, because the net effect may be similar!

This entire list, like so many others on Digg, looks like it was assembled entirely by a fourteen-year-old retard with a Paint Huffing fetish.

My wife used to be a jealous type. But I found that honesty is the best policy. She used to be upset when I would glance at a pretty girl in the street. One time I said “honey if a naked guy materialized out of the thin air, would you look down south?”. She understood and since then I had no problems glancing other women. I guess for her, she was threatened by other women, and when she put herself in my shoes, she understood that by glancing at publicly displayed cleavage in no way meant that I would prefer someone else over her. But I understand where she is coming from. Women can be brutal to one another.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he discovers the value of hiding the grosser parts of his nature.

“Give us an inch and we’ll give you a lifetime.”

Another one of those “funny, because it’s true” lists. Women need to read this good natured ribbing list. Because it IS true.

Thats it, lets all jump on the bad cop bandwagon. You realise that once tasers are taken away from cops, and are replaced with something else, people are just going to get shit pissed at something else cops do right?

Stop believing media. It lies to you.

I find it hard to believe 90% of the people here watching and actually listened to the interview. This is the Police side of the story that seems reasonable with the video shown. She was told she was now creating a disturbance and to stop, she didn’t. She was told she was under arrest and she fled custody. She was tased for resisting and running away from the Cop for being Disorderly, nothing to do with the original call for service.

Also before you go crying about tasers, learn a little. I have taken Police classes, that included tasers, stun gun and pepper spray. Pepper spray, if it works on you is much worse pain-wise. The burning continues for hours after being sprayed. Stun guns just hurt for a while you are being shocked, didn’t incapacitate me though. Tasers are meant to stop you from what you are doing and they do that well. After the shock is done the pain stops, it isn’t shock therapy.

How about just letting the cop do her investigation instead of being a dumb ass. She would have been on her way in 30 seconds once the CC matched her DL.

What ever happened to good ole fashioned rubber bullets

Apparently now if you don’t answer a police officer’s question, they can shoot you with a real firearm, or choose the less-letahl Taser:

“Wright was not disciplined, and police Chief Mike Chitwood defended her actions. Beeland was refusing an officer’s orders, and using a Taser avoided use of other weapons, he said.”

Why didn’t the police woman use her most effective weapon - her brain - instead of the Taser? If she can’t handle loud people without the Taser she is in the wrong line of work!

I say we all start carrying tasers. Just taser anyone who doesn’t do what you want. Including cops.

Perhaps this was a racist hate crime on the part of the officer? “reparations tasering”

so not kissing the police’s ass is a an arrestable offense? i love my country

|an officer and called it “passive physical resistance.”

No it’s not. Most arrests are made without violence. I have over 100 investigators working at our company and they make arrests every day in just this sort of situation and violence is almost never necessary. This use of force is plain BS.

Maybe listen to what the woman was trying to say? What the video doesn’t show, and what nobody has ever said is what happened before the Tasing. How long did they talk at the counter? Why was she so upset? I’ve seen the video and it doesn’t appear that the cop was justified, but without a context it’s impossible to tell.

Just obey. Just do what they say. Right or wrong, just or unjust, good cop or bad — it doesn’t matter. If they are abusing their authority — it doesn’t matter. If you are completely innocent — it doesn’t matter. Just obey.

When a cop says “I’m placing you under arrest” and you walk away, as this preson clearly did, then you are resisting arrest no matter whether or not the cop is justified for arresting you.

What is Rixstep doing to Stepwise?
It appears that the guy behind the “rixstep” blog has stolen material from Stepwise, a highly-respected news and technical site which has served NeXTSTEP and Cocoa developers for over a decade. On the main page at Stepwise right now, there’s a notice from Scott Anguish stating that Rixstep is violating his copyrights.

What a fucking baby

no one takes Rixstep seriously anyways, come on. Its a parody site for everyone in the mac community, isn’t it? :p

I used to go to Stepwise a lot. And I never heard of that Rixstep site.

Hopefully the community will help Stepwise to protect its copyright and shame/destroy Rixstep. This nut needs to go.

The removal of his own site in response will achieve what? Not only is the reaction entirely disproportionate to the offense (MacWorld 1998 for cripes sake! Was there even OS X back then?) but I went over to the rixstep site to try to find the offending material to see what the big deal is, and it is so poorly organised that I couldn’t find whatever it was.

Moreover, even if the Mac developer community did have a mass uprising, what are we supposed to do about it? How are _we_ supposed to enforce _his_ copyright? That is so backwards it beggars the imagination. No, the appropriate response is to fire off some legal mumbo-jumbo to whoever is hosting rixstep, and make vague DMCA allegations and get the bozos site pulled faster than Clinton can zip up. If you’re really upset, then you fill out a change of owner form (1pwnzorU.pdf from ICANN).

In the past when I’ve seen someone pull their site for similar small infractions, they have usually been thinking about giving up for a while, and are just looking for any excuse to blame it on someone else.

Stepwise was a great site that really helped out the Mac dev community. This is really unfortunate. Rixstep is a total asshole.

The two things that were most important to me on that liost were the mix tapes and the pinball machines. I consider myself an audiophile and back then the cassette was a great way to mix your own music. I still have the original set of mix tapes that I made my best friend when I was a DJ at a radio station, that best friend is now my wife. as for the pinball machine, well lets just say that I am a Pinhead. I love the game and because of the arcade era from when I grew up I have a special place in my heart for the 80’s pinball machines. Great list. I think I might just listen to those mix tapes now, I have the originals put away but did make digital copies a few years back. Yes I still do have my Kenwood single deck cassette deck but again I could not replace the tapes if they got chewed up. LOl.

Oregon Trail anyone? The game that taught us how to properly supply our wagon trains with food if, by the off-chance, we need to cross a jagged 2-D river.

Might be a bit too modern for this list however.

Home computers, laser discs, projection televisions, cable TV, modems, polyphonic analog synthesizers, home and arcade video games…

The year 2000 had nothing on the 1980s for futurism, and that’s a fact.

This is a really cool list and stuff like this is what makes digg great. I remember using the big floppy disks back in my elementary school’s Macintosh computers. (They were still called Macintosh back then, geez that makes me feel old!) I remember using those printers too and the teacher would always go crazy because we left the torn off edges all over the place. But the reason I dugg this is because I used to have that exact same Tiger bowling game and I absolutely loved it. It’s amazing how the old games are so simple compared to today’s but they’re still so much fun. I love pinball machines too and even though I suck at them I never pass up an opportunity to play one.

Actually, as a woman, I thought about how stylish and polished they looked. In the modern tech office, we all look like crap.

Checked. I was so distracted with the computer, because…. when I wanted to buy my first computer, my father suggested to check used computers classified first. It was the time of 386. We went to the near city. The first offer was in a typewriters shop. They wanted $1,200 for a 8086 that they hadn’t sold. “We paid $6,000 for it!”

The link to the SMB theme was totally unnecessary - I can play it in my head just fine, after all these years.

The pinball video was hilarious.

If every “battery breakthrough” I’ve read about in the last ten years had come true, we’d now have microscopic batteries that needed charging for ten minutes every two weeks and with the energy to power a tank.

Except for the problem of what we are generating our electricity from in the first place. Coal isn’t exactly clean or renewable.

I can’t wait to see one of these things explode.

Kind of a scientist.

That’s great. Would have been useful around the time of the EV-1. Let us hope it gets on the market quickly.

If you are seriously considering getting a pedometer as a gift, do not cheap out on a < $10 one. The very cheap models are completely worthless. One of them I tried basically had a ball inside that you could hear rattling back and forth, that presumably mesaured a step by mechanically hitting a switch every time it leaned to one side. I counted my steps and this thing had an error margin of about 50%. I got rid of the super cheap one and bought an Omron which is surprisingly accurate, and still reasonably priced.

Think your last apartment or hotel room was small? Believe it or not, there are a lot of contenders for the dubious title of smallest hotel on the planet. Some claim it by number of rooms, others by size and all are quick to defend their position.

Though most people have heard of them by now, not mentioning capsule hotels in a list of the world’s tiniest hotel rooms would be impossible. Despite their almost unbelievably small size, capsule hotel rooms can cost as much as $40 a night and often feature sur…

Maybe the problem is that reddit is not really analyzing the links you upmodded directly to guess what you like, but instead it checks for other users that upmod similar links and then put in your suggestion page what you didn’t upmodded but this users did.

Whole Foods Shows You Can Get Something For Nothing -- Courant.com
Suddenly, the computer crashed. None of the cash registers could function. Ted Donoghue, the assistant manager running the store on the afternoon of Dec. 13, consulted associates and made a snap decision:
All customers passing through the registers would get their food for free until the computers were working again.

I doubt any other chain store would have done the same thing, but this is Whole Foods, where every employee earns a living wage, employees are real team members and customer satisfaction is not just a saying but a practice.”It was clearly a snafu on our end, and it d…

Why does this never happen when I’m around?

I love shopping at Whole Foods. There’s one by my job; I just wish there was one near my home.

There is one a block away from my office too. We call it Whole Paycheck but a day like this would make up for it entirely.

$4000 snap-marketing decision.

I once encountered the same situation at a McDonalds drive-thru. Their computer was down, or something, and they couldn’t take anything but cash payments. I didn’t have any cash. They gave me my food and wished me a nice weekend. Needless to say, every time I have a craving for a Big Mac (not often, but it happens) I make a special trip halfway across town to that specific location.

Exactly. Whole Foods seems to have some better bread, fruit and veggies than other supermarkets I go to. I’ll pay a bit more for those things at whole foods, and go elsewhere when I need everything else. Anything in their middle aisles is overpriced.

I don’t like how expensive it is either but you get what you pay for in experience. Shit is cheaper when you deal with underpaid employees under fluorescent lights. I’m not apologizing for them, just saying you get what you pay for.

That’s wonderful. I expect individuals to do things like this but to see a business do this is truly astounding. I hope Whole Foods succeeds marvelously.

over-priced? implies some sort of mis-pricing. There are valid reasons why Whole Foods products are more expensive than their peers.

Buy local at farmer’s markets…not Whole Foods.

I have to stop reading. I think I died a little inside.

Why don’t I stop what?

because the Democrats think that if they do anything against the Bush Administration, they will be successfully painted as, at best, “wasting the taxpayer’s money on partisan hackery,” and at worst “hating America and freedom.”

I had to stop reading cos about half of it is just crap that gets repeated two or three times.

Wow, everything he said was so true.

That isn’t a reason not to take his class. I know a programmer who “designed” (for some definition of design) and implimented a new programming language using cut and paste. Gives me job security, few programmers can figure that beast out, and most of them want nothing to do with it.

Some of my ex-co-students did think copy&paste to be the end-all, be-all of programming.

I typically don’t bury stories, but this article title and description are straight fud.

Oh wait, I don’t care.
I bet if Panasonic refused, this article wouldnt exist. But since its Sony, oh boyyy!

Erm, how about SAMSUNG for fuck sake… its their panels in the Sony TVs, and they sell them under the samsung label for stupidly cheap prices. Bypass Sony, the fucktard filled company of retardedness, and review the Samsung screens!

Then again the writer fell for the hype* and bough a Sony screen in the first place, so he probably knows jack shit about AV products.
