Similarly, I spent 6 weeks on a kernel token-ring driver intermittent initialization issue. This required kernel restarts over and over to observe the issue. Breakpoints were useless as they hid the issue. Turns out initialization in a specific step was not synchronous and reading the status was a race condition. It tooks weeks of staring, joking around, thinking, bs'ing, then suddenly, voila. Changed the order of the code, worked.
I have Power Toys installed and start everything via PT. <cmd>spacebar "application name", just like the old quicksilver which was amazing (for mac). PT is great...but crashes an FT.
The challenge is that the option to use money to resolve issues fast becomes to a tendency to resort to the conveniences of money. This tendency censors me from meaning embedded in everyday life, and it's something i have to work to avoid.
Not even getting to the part about all the sacrifices I've made to make this money.
Shared bikes should be at the top because they will actually be ridden for that 15K or 50K miles, whereas a personal bike gets no where near that mileage.
Weighted average? Citi bike has 15k bikes and claims to have served over 120 million miles, although they don't know the true mileage because they just use the grid distance between stations. That's closing in on 10k miles per bike, ignoring whatever number they've needed to replace, and bike-of-Theseus philosophical questions.
Ultimately spam takes over. There was a model for email whereby senders have to pay to send, I think MS had some papers on this. They never implemented it. I do wonder if a pay to post model could tame the spam and all the BS. That money could be used to fund the network, because nothing is free and it's time we all embrace that reality.
