The privilege to take an action is not a justification of the action.

Google designed their calendar this way to support work. It doesn’t sound like these people were using resources for work purposes. That’s almost certainly a violation of the work rules. Pushing blame on the employee being tracked is ridiculous.

Companies are not democracies, and unless you are an executive with a contract or are in a collective bargaining agreement, you serve at the pleasure of your management. If you’re irritating your management for reasons and want to stick around, you need to work in the rules.
I think that's because at Disney World, it's somewhat impossible to see everything in one day, even if you were to filter the list of attractions to things that you wanted to do. There's simply too much to see.
Those kinds of restrictions can have their own productivity pitfalls. For instance, it might be the case that requiring declaration prior to usage explicitly will speed up the compiler, but it might also mean that you can't move blocks of code around without paying careful attention to the order of declaration. I think having a permissive compiler, but also being able to profile the compilation process is a reasonable compromise.
The "sharing a certain amount of bandwidth" idea from the article is way more difficult than it sounds.

Fundamentally, anyone with access to a network segment can saturate it. Like you, I ran an open network for years (this was pre DD/Open-WRT, using pebble linux), and saw some pretty crazy stuff. Eventually I got tired of fighting to maintain a fair and usable network and just went encrypted.

However -- this piece and your request for pointers has inspired me to publish my bandwidth sharing and traffic shaping scripts from those days [1], in the hopes that some of the problems can be solved. I really would like to run an open network again, I just need to get things done using my internet connection from time to time. :)

EDIT: I need to have a fresh look at the high bandwidth encrypted / low bandwidth unencrypted setup you mention, because sharing bandwidth across separate network segments seems like it might work.
Food and Agriculture in Australia and New Zealand isn't as heavily subsidised as it is in Europe and America. That's one possible reason.
Gary Taubes is a journalist, not an expert in nutrition. He also has a track record of questionable academic honesty. He's an excellent writer who has cashed in fabulously on fad diets, particularly the Atkins craze 10 years ago. Follow his advice at your own risk.

They do have degrees, just not the one you'll get from a 4-year university. The time of getting a job at the factory right after high school is long past. The machine tools these days are quite complex and very expensive. Like 6 axis CNCs with incredibly flexibly degrees of freedom.

Also, a lot of modern machinists have, even, a basic understanding of materiel science. They might not have taken all the courses to graduate with an engineering degree but they aren't that far off.
Solar isn't a baseload power supply so it can't replace other fuel sources (nuclear, coal) without serious improvement in batteries or an electric car revolution with V2G (vehicle to grid) support.

However, wind and solar while not baseload will be critical to our infrastructure and ability to deal with power spikes. Much like hybrid cars today, making a fossil-fuel generator that is specced to your high end of demand is inefficient; you can get by with a lower baseload and very powerful "on-demand" power (solar/wind+batteries).
This is extremely awesome.

For those who feel hesitant about this (ie - not getting enough taste), I would recommend trying this for, say, breakfast and gradually increasing the frequency.
I'd prefer to hunt I think, especially knowing the benefits of meat. And as for the current debate/link, modern fruits are unfortunately different then the lower fructose versions our ancestors ate. As such, I think people should tread lightly in the land of delicious fruit (excepting berries and the like). Rotten fruit stinks by the way ;) and hosts bacteria, flies, and disease! :)
Show to who? You?
Of course they were virtual cards, that's what a "Magic: The Gathering Online" Exchange would be.

(But actually MTGO has it's own de-facto virtual currency - tix - which are regularly traded for cards through the MTGO interface.
It is 3x the cost of light rail (which only goes 50mph) construction in a city.

It is 4x the cost of highway construction in a city.

In an urban environment, land acquisition is the most expensive part of the cost of large construction projects.

We've had one successful large construction project (T-REX) here in Denver that involved both highways and light rail. It was completed 4 years ago, on time and under budget. At that time, the light rail construction costs were about 20 megabucks/mile. The cost of construction materials have shot up since 2006 and the next large (FasTracks is almost all light rail) construction project is currently running about 50% over budget (official estimates) to 100% over budget (unofficial estimates).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_T-REX_Project_(TRanspo...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FasTracks

Construction costs for rail go up sharply with the speed of the trains. Once one gets into "high speed rail" categories (which in the US means average speed > 90 mph between cities), grade crossings have to be replaced with overpasses, as the European experiences with HSR is that the time taken to stop a train is greater than the visible horizon for the train - so a "stuck" vehicle on the tracks will be hit as the train cannot possibly stop in time. To get some perspective on costs, rural freight lines run about 1 megabuck/mile, with passenger lines running about 2x that. Paving interstate highways runs about 1 megabuck/mile/lane.

My grandmom legit still uses Netscape dial-up as her ISP. She lives in a very rural county in Tennessee, and there are no DSL, cable, or fiber options. Her house is unfortunately also down in a valley, so there's no cell phone reception, although there's reasonable 5G service if you walk up to the top of a nearby hill. Perhaps Skylink will be an option soon, although not yet.

My parents bought her a Kindle a while back, which is difficult to use without WiFi internet access, although it doesn't require much bandwidth. I actually made her a dial-up WiFi router using an RPi, USB WiFi and dial-up modem adapters so that she can create a WiFi network off of her dial-up connection to download e-books. My friends helped me use the GPIO to set up a nice, user-friendly button to connect and disconnect the dial-up connection, as well as a notification light to signal whether the dial-up is connected, connecting, or off. (Remember you can't leave dial-up on all the time, since you want to receive or place calls using your landline sometimes.)

Actually, the hardest part of the whole thing was getting the dial-up connection working with an open-source Linux client instead of Netscape's proprietary Windows client. I ended up having to use VirtualBox and some Linux FIFO's to listen in on what the proprietary windows client was doing when connecting. In case anyone else happens to come upon this problem: the proprietary Netscape client lowercases the password before sending it over the wire. :P
sure, but how does moping about the inevitable heat death of the universe help?

Life is good, we should try to get more of it by taking better care of ourselves, other people, and the fragile blue ball that carries us through space. Eventually the sun will explode and the blue ball will go away. Maybe we can take life far & fast enough to survive that! Heat death of the universe probably catches us eventually. Would it be better for a living things to be scared waiting for cosmic doom?

Sure you need some motivation to keep pushing forward. I think it's good to strive for more life. I think you can do that while simultaneously accepting that you cannot achieve infinite life.
It's really not that simple, because payroll processing isn't just the part where an amount of money is sent to a bank account. It's tied up in a lot of complexities like accrued time off, time off used during the pay period, which pool of time it came from, potential for comp time or overtime, etc. That's not even getting into benefits like payroll deductions for health insurance, the choices of different insurance types, performance bonuses, annual cost of living increases... There are a ton of variables involved, this doesn't scratch the surface.
The app is very spammy with notifications/suggestions/recommendations and features nobody asked for like chat. It can all be disabled, until they add the n+1 feature next week that will need to be disabled too.
Meeker....? 4 people died. You are insane if you can look at the footage of that riot and equate it with "meeker" ... do you mean "they weren't black" ?
I agree with that. Within a couple of hours of being back in the US, at dinner, folks were disagreeing with me over things I'd seen with my own eyes in the previous week. I've talked about it a lot at events, and there's often a feeling like I'm saying something that goes against the grain, or at least the narrative, and I must be wrong. A handful of folks always hang around and talk in more detail. I love talking to them.
Violent? 2/10 maybe

Escalating? 0/10 not at all

Attempt to coerce laws? 2/10 not really

I mostly agree. It doesn’t pass my own definition.
The point to my original post was to call attention to the strong impact of manufacturer and carrier adoption on android adoption. I didn't think it was something left to interpretation.

You questioned whether that state of affairs was relevant to future growth. My reply to that, was an example of a platform whose very-fast adoption was manufacturer-driven, specifically to point out that you can't reasonably extrapolate from short-run data in these situations.

As for the analogy, like any analogy, isn't worth arguing. You clearly saw what I was aiming at and that was its only purpose.

Again, the only time I brought up extrapolation was to point out that you can't. So I'm not sure why you've twice decided to point out that I'm agreeing with the article.
...Then you install Linux and the problem becomes identical to the one we have just solved ;-)

I am saying this semi-seriously: have been using Linux as my primary OS on the desktop for the past 9 years, with half-year deflections to MacOS X and, lately, to Windows 7. But the fluxbox with 0-pixel borders and "focus follows mouse" had always dragged me back. Also in my latest experience, the perception was that Win7 on bare metal ran somewhat slower than Win7 under kvm.

With Windows, I used coLinux (http://colinux.org/). The MacOS X that I used was PPC-based, it was circa 2005, so no reasonable experience there - so if you're for freebies, I suppose VirtualBox is the only option (I just found this: http://www.kju-app.org/ - but since I don't have Mac, no way to see what it does).
Great name, look looking site and more importantly a valuable service designers need. Should be a win.
Alexis, I sling code for availability and reservation systems at an airline in Dallas and was showing off Hipmunk to some industry veteran analysts this morning. Needless to say they where all very impressed with the usability of the site.

Major kudos to you guys from someone who has coded against QPX availabilities.

This goes to show that UX is not about reducing page refreshes and adding AJAX niceties. In this case it was about creating an interface that a departure control agent would feel comfortable with and presenting it in a manner that your standard business traveler could benefit from.
A rough but easy to glance at heuristic would be to take the top 100 entries from each non English language Wikipedia and run them through Google translate before searching. Immediate thoughts if that isn’t effective are to increase the search range to 1000 and throw away anything that isn’t a proper noun.

It wasn’t a lack of coverage but the intention to make them all look silly by focusing on the silliest among them.

> This means 98% of customers don't have multisig control over their coins, since multisig-protected coins can't be put into offline storage.

What makes you think you can't use multi-sig and offline storage at the same time? That's just false. You don't need an internet connection to sign a multi-sig transaction.

But I agree on everything else: 98% of funds aren't insured, and to me Coinbase has always been just another Rails startup (not necessarily a bad thing, but they made tons of mistakes typical of having web developer talent only).
First, they expected huge casualties. That is part of my point. Manpower was one of their only resources at start of war. The leaders and the people made the tough decision to sacrifice them to stay in the war. Unlike two previous victims of Blitzkrieg.

Second, those weren't universal. Only used in specific circumstances (as your link states). And IIRC, largely done away with later in the war after USSR production caught up and they won strategic initiative.
It's certainly a filter, I'm not sure I would say it's good though.
But do they need to have the issue? Why allow running arbitrary commands during install?

To me it is less about someone purposely including malicious code (since yes, that could be in the project itself not just the install) but that having this willy-nilly form of package managing opens up people to mistakes moving files around that do harm on accident.

And it gets even worse if the package is able to be added to a repo, like npmjs.org, and not have to be accepted after being reviewed.
> Right? If your goal is a buyout, make sure to have a good sales funnel.

It seems so simple, yet nobody does it! Perplexing.

> On another note, can I buy equity/get hired for equity only? I like your chances at a buyout, and I want in.

Definitely not, buster! I'm keeping those sweet sweet shares. Unless you're a VC, in which case take all of them!
Neat idea, I like how your ad-space makes a lot of sense.
Think of it as memorizing 4 IPv4 addresses.
Isn't it strange that you can build a nonprofit and amass nontangible assets like trust and power over other companies, and then all at once sell those nontangible assets and become a for-profit company?
Could be worse.

You want to sell out your country to foreign business interests. To convince the poor who will be hardest hit you'll need to demonise refugees, immigrants and any other minorities necessary until you get the 1/3rd of the vote necessary to give you complete control of parliament.

Write a speech that makes your elderly voter base frightened of the other, but do so in a way that makes you seem like a jovial and inoffensive bumbler to them, and yet somehow convinces them that human rights, renewable energy and climate change are ominous hoaxes intended to steal their country from them by dangerous extremists.

Honestly stupid that USDoD controls at least 13/256 of all IPv4 addresses.

It seems some entities, e.g. IBM and MIT, have returned (sold?) their /8s to their RIRs though.
Yep. Following standards has great side-effects all around. The same things that break sites for the blind also break it for UX-enhancement extensions like Tridactyl, which lets you click elements from the keyboard, so long as sites don't go out of the way to make clickable buttons undiscoverable.

(Extreme apologies for any implied equivalence between myself and the blind.)
They still got one, though, through Origin PC.
This, and the plugin option suggested by jasongill above, sound like they would suit my needs. I don't mind hosting wordpress to use as an editor (as performance is not important). I just don't want Wordpress to be in charge of serving the content.
FM synth stays to analog synth as vinyl stays to cd ;-)
Yes. There was an article linked from HN ages ago (at least a year) that went into mitigation techniques for these issues. As you expect, it basically became fractal, and even then still had bugs. I wish I still had the URL.
Everytime I see news like this, it just reminds me of the three body problem and the extremely unique Sophons in them.
No problem. With all the bad news out there, it's easy to get hung up on minor setbacks and loose track of how things are genuinely getting better overall.
I know enough to know that using this in schools, or at work, is a human rights complaint just waiting to happen in my jurisdiction. Do people who are blind, or who have certain mental illnesses, or certain cognitive conditions, or certain conditions like paralysis, end up reported inaccurately or unfavourably by these systems? Oh, and what about ethnicity, culture, religion, race? Any bias there?

Misuse of psychometric tests ("Do you make friends easily?") have resulted in payouts in the UK and Canada, probably elsewhere. This sort of emotion-detection seems analogous.
It really has nothing to do with being able to support a stay-at-home parent or not. If you're bringing home 100k a year and quit your job to raise kids then the opportunity cost of having kids is 100k a year. The fact that you can afford to 'lose' that money doesn't change that.

Now you may think it's worth 'paying' 100k a year to gain all the non-monetary benefits of staying at home and raising kids, but that is a separate discussion.
During the age of dinosaurs it was hotter than it is now.
If you're doing business in/with the EU, you're probably subject to their jurisdiction. But I was talking about some kind of data protection laws.

You know what Remote Desktop is? People have, at least in some places and at some times, acted as if keeping data in the EU, meant that you could not, like, copy files off a server in the EU to a computer in the US, but you could sit in the US and access a computer via Remote Desktop in the EU to do the same work.

Sort of like handling toxic materials with waldos. But the more I thought about it, the less sense it made.

It's like when people say you can view information on a website, but not copy it. Viewing it is copying it; that's how computers work.
In retrospect, I’m so happy I did not jump the class syntax bandwagon, that always felt a little suspicious.
The best option seems to be migrating components to the (still supported) options API, which is arguably going to be harder if you have class style syntax you need to get rid of first…
I had my first contact when I was 3-5 yo. Can't remember. grew older without problems. And I can tell you. I enjoy it more, I'm more positive about my body. My Girls are screaming. It's not like "eeewww... it's slippery"

The problem are the people who want to tell what to do and what and how to be.

This is the true problem.
After that it will be "welp it's too late now".
Planting something that you can eat directly for the calories on that land area would be better (or don't touch it and let it sequester carbon, and plant somewhere else that's more suited).

If you feed the goat 100 calories, there is no way you get back 100 calories.
> The only moral and simplest solution is for privileged Westerners to go vegan.

Or just have less kids, which they are pretty much doing right now without any effort and pretense of morality.
What a wonderful comment. Thanks - I didn't realise that he'd written a book like that, and the fact that it incorporates Platonism and Western Esotericism is even more impressive. Thanks for the comment.
It looks like it's shooting to be even a lot lower level than Zig.
I think their motivations were more than that

- desire to explore a more radical design language for the company. They’ve had to be very conservative for past vehicles because Model S, Model 3, etc were programs that had to succeed or the company would fail. This is the first time they have some financial breathing room

- they likely prioritized ease of manufacturing over everything else. I think long term that’s where the company is going

- They really can use all the capacity they have planned for the next couple of years for Model Y. They just don’t have capacity to add a line at F-150 scale. I don’t even know where they will build it... not likely in Fremont. Maybe Berlin. Maybe in a new American factory? Either way, it’ll probably be one of the first programs in a new factory.

So, yes, I think they really do not want to sell a lot of these. And yes, they’d be happy with a tiny market amongst electric enthusiasts.
Seems like OxyData and PDL directly have more up-to-date records anyway.

Could the server owner (Google) have to fulfill the request? Probably not, but interesting to think about.

It's not an elaborate definition.

From the first line of Wikipedia's article on theft: "In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it."

From Dictionary.com: "the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.'

It's you and others who have to torture these definitions to begin using a term like "design theft," which very clearly doesn't involve depriving the owner of property or carrying anything away, and is obviously just copying instead.

If you have a counterargument to this, I haven't seen it yet, nor do I understand what it is. Why should we redefine copying as theft? It honestly just seems like propaganda to me. I'm making my points in good faith here.

> your use of "commodities" and "commodification" to suggest outright copies of existing goods are good for consumers.

I'm not trying to equate commoditization with copying. Rather, what I'm saying is that the entire process of commoditization is driven by people creating copies of other goods, or at least extremely similar versions. That's how it works. How else would commoditization happen, exactly?

Amazon is threatening to turn Allbirds' unique design into an entire category, and Allbirds doesn't like it:

https://image.businessinsider.com/5d83c7862e22af39354ac018?w...

But this is run of the mill for innovation. We've all seen other categories of shoes where the designs are extremely similar.

If you do something new, others will build off of it, and while that may be a challenge for you, it is a very good thing for consumers.
They're everywhere. Just ask Shodan.
is this for the protoc generated code? otherwise, could you not define different struct tags for the different serialization types?

The two perspectives that I often find at opposite poles when proposing simplicity is that of the developer vs. that of the user. Generally what's simple for the user drives less simple solutions for the developer and vice versa. It's not always possible, but when it is, I strive to find the solution that ends up being dead simple for both.
