Yeah where I live (Toronto) the turn-by-turn is the problem often. There's no adjustment for traffic or temporary closures, and combined with part-time drivers not knowing what roads should be avoided at certain times of day, and you can end up taking way too long getting somewhere.

In fact I used to see a lot of Uber drivers switch out to Waze for directions once you're in the car, since that was probably better.
Start with shorter time horizons. Do your kids earn an allowance? Pay them interest. Every dollar they still have at the end of the week, give them a dime. Be creative.
Big publishers/game developers just negotiate a custom contract. But yes in general UE is more expensive then Unity but it also comes with a bunch of useful stuff like quixel mega scans for free if you are using the engine.

Slide 30, exploring the, "Piracy Threat," ends, "The sooner three-strikes or similar legislation passes, the less piracy will spread."

Is Netflix lobbying for three-strikes legislation?
Are you talking on the production side (refineries) or consumption (fuel dispensing)? I used to sell a product that was on fuel trucks and have always wondered what else I could do with it.
I posted about Polavision, Polaroid's attempt to create instant movie film, as a side comment in another discussion, where it generated a lot of interest -- I figured it might be of interest to the broader community.

Do you have statistics to show the effectiveness of this method? It would be interesting to see the percentage of IE6 visitors over this 6 months period.
Supposedly there is also a "Heavy" configuration that uses 2 additional boosters for a larger mass payload than the shuttle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9
Buzzword bingo, I call house!

Virtualize what, how, and how does that help?

I can see terminal services running published IE6 for legacy apps with desktops having IE8 on them and doing that as a workaround to have side by side, but where would virtualisation help?
I was taken by that statement that more than half of the people you considered experienced engineers you also judged them to have no ability to code.

But you said I shouldn't assume your process is broken. If those are your results the process is broken.

Either your pipeline of experienced engineers needs to be fixed.

Or your ability to judge either who is experienced

Or your ability to judge who can't code for the life of them.

Your comment made it sound like 51% of experienced ngineers looking for a job can't code when the truth is 51% of your experienced candidates can't. It is broken..
We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're very expensive to operate, mainly because of the very high maintenance costs. Those high costs are due to the fundamental problem that helicopters cannot survive losing a blade.
Indy cars IIRC have run into the problem on banked tracks.

They did something to slow the cars down and remove the need for G-suits.

Indy cars got to around 5G, which is pretty hard to sustain without a G-suit.

The 9G stuff in the F-16/F-22 absolutely requires the G-suit and the reclined seat which changes the force vector.

I've motorcycled on a NASCAR track, but not a very steeply banked one relative to the superspeedways. Even the lower banking changes the way turns feel in a very dramatic way though.
Here’s a non-Apple link to the podcast: https://saifedean.com/podcast/34-michael-saylor-on-the-fiat-...

Off topic: Apple makes it very hard to find the name of the podcast and episode on iOS if you don’t have their podcast app installed.
Ok, I'm just interested as I develop a competing product which has been around quite a bit longer and is used by some large online tutoring companies.

I see you posted a message asking for work a few years ago, and you have been operating a consultancy, so I'm guessing aww app wasn't hugely profitable (at least pre-covid) and this was more of an acquisition to remove the competition (which is still a win).

It does seem to be a difficult space to make decent money...it took me almost 20 years before I was making decent money. Quite a few online whiteboards have just shut down over the years.
> That suit dynamically responds to what the jet is doing, and squeezes the pilot’s lower body, like a high-tech blood-pressure cuff.

I’m generally bearish on the supposed incoming AI dark winter, but aircraft navigation and dogfighting seem like they’re going to be much better suited flown by a computer.

They can design aircraft that are much smaller and lighter, and can maneuver in ways that would cause a human to black out instantly.
I think your first sentence is correct. And that maybe you should have stopped there. Spending ages trying to do things "the right way" instead of just hacking it together and actually learning is what makes it hard to get going. Basically making your own framework on top of Unity (as per your tips) is not the best way to start.
But my old keys, that hold my funds, are still traditionally encrypted, so how am I supposed to securely claim my same bitcoins on the other side of the fork?
I'm having a bit of an old person moment, and I'm not really that old, but I recall SSL cert sales back in the day pushing trust over encryption.

I may be confusing the terms "chain of trust" and "web of trust," but to my best knowledge, I don't recall EVs being sold on the former term.

My apologies. I hope there are folks out there who have a better recollection who can piece this together.
I haven't listened to it yet, I will - however the narrative has certainly been crafted, evolving, over the last 10 years to avoid mentioning or addressing the unavoidable pitfalls of Bitcoin; there isn't honest discussion among it, and pro-Bitcoin narratives are starting to earn the title of propaganda.

Edit to add: the suppression tactics of downvoting counter-narrative comments instead of engaging with them is most common as well, financially incentivized to suppress counter-narratives.
Here's some news: The arctic melting was already projected with or without human interference. At best, we marginally sped up the process.

Yes, every whether phenomenon is now caused by global warming, as if Texas has never seen ice.
This may be unrelated, but if your social anxiety is caused by fear that your social skills are inadequate, it could be helpful to recognize that the content of what you say matters much more than your presentation. When I'm nervous about my delivery in an upcoming, important conversation, it helps me to remember that some of the most fascinating and accomplished people do not always speak fluently or present well. These people include Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Paul Graham, and they certainly have not been held back by any supposed weakness in speaking style. See pg's essay, "Writing and Speaking." http://www.paulgraham.com/speak.html
Is it the granularity of the health check that you're wondering about? I've got a deployment where nginx delegates the health check / load balance component to haproxy.

Keep in mind that the "heavier duty" the health check, the less frequently it can be run at scale.

edit: The best clue is probably the phrase "available as part of our commercial subscription only" appearing all over the upstream module documentation.[0]

As a counter point, I've been vegetarian (ovo-lacto) my whole life. My parents aren't crazy, they just decided they wanted to be vegetarian, and the logical consequence of that is that my siblings and I were raised the same way.

I'm 6'1", ~175 lbs, and am strong and healthy. I've never had a blood test show any deficiencies. I don't have to go out of my way to find protein: dairy, eggs, and legumes are in enough dishes to make it easy. Plus, you don't need nearly as much protein as most people get.

Linus is often wrong about things, especially when they're outside his areas of expertise.
Every month or so, there is a "Who's hiring?" thread on HN. I heard their frequenters are prety interested in startups.
Even just from the ideas we're already aware of, expanding into space could render global warming irrelevant. Things like solar energy collectors, space industry, tethers for transporting raw materials.

Humans have a very big problem with paying attention to the bigger picture. Carbon emissions are only relevant if we still need fossil fuels to run our industry. In space, without oxygen we'll be using nuclear or solar as power sources not hydrocarbons.
I don't litter because I don't want to make that Indian cry, but this will make him put a shotgun in his mouth.

> Take the whole "meat is murder" slogan. It's ridiculous from the outset and completely ignores our existence within the earth's ecosystem.

It is almost as ridiculous to posit that humans should be held to the same standard as your average animal. The moral objection is that being able to comprehend the existence of other beings bestows an obligation to facilitate their well-being in addition to your own. You can disagree with that, but it is not "ridiculous". Personally I think that we as a "higher species" - in comparison with the rest of the lifeforms on this planet - should at least make an effort to move toward veganism. In the end, it may not fully work and it will never completely remove the need to kill animals, but I think it can go a long way to reduce unnecessary suffering.

A lot of people do and will continue to eat meat (and wear leather &c.) but that is not an argument to not attempt to change the situation - or just change your own habits if you feel no pull toward effecting social change. Your argument is also undermined by the very factual increase in vegetarian and vegan

Most vegans I know are quite aware of food quality and will avoid additives and processed foods. Some do not, some have very poor diets indeed. There is no dichotomy here, though.

On the topic, while the most hard-line vegans will disagree, I think milk, eggs and non-sentient beings like various clams, oysters and such are a reasonable compromise in ensuring one's nutrition. They - given humane and sustainable practices of course - do not cause much suffering to the animals involved.
This seems like a good idea to counter their offensive. Generally I'd say this would be interpreted as an attack, but this seems like it'd be more justified and classy.
I've done apps both in php and in Java and if the app is small it's much more difficult to deploy a Java application than php application.
Most Java deployments are persistent (there is an application in memory which answers requests) and it is prone to memory (or other resource) leaks, while php is widely adopted in shared hosting environment because of its statelessness, even if there is a possible memory leak - in most cases it's not important, only long processing queries might bring it up in php, and it is solved by hosting providers with putting limits to http time.
Waterfall doesn't have multiple passes. You have to have all your requirements before you move on to design. And that has to be complete before you move on to implementation. That's why they use the waterfall metaphor, because waterfalls don't flow back up. And if waterfall seems completely braindead now, keep in mind that the old software guys used to be hardware guys, and it makes much more sense for hardware.

You're right about Spiral though... Spiral is iterative, so its much more compatible.
> Of the famous recentish revolutions, it should for example be remembered that Marx stipulated the "communist revolution" should happen in the highly industrialised nations (ill-advised as the idea of armed revolution is). Russia in particular, a backwards agrarian empire, was about the last place he thought would be ready for it. And turned out he was right.

Do not forget the marxist model was exported by Russia wherever it could (Easter Europe block pops in mind) and failed in every case even if the country was industrialised. It is just plain wrong. Even China ditched it and now has real chances of becoming a superpower.
I really commend that type of behavior (I really respect someone that has the good heart to do such a thing) not because I think it's the right thing to do (though it is), but because my reaction would have been to immediately go into a "maim the fucker up" mode. I've lived in some extremely bad parts of town where you either make a stand or get robbed and injured everyday. My instant reaction is to put my life in risk to injure the assailant, which is wrong because you never know how that person ended up doing what he/she is doing.

Next time I'm in a situation as this I'll think first about the person doing the robbing before making a decision to let go or assault back. Great story.
Or bolding "you" and "fu."
The last Canadian VC I talked to accused me of being uninterested in growing my company after I didn't want to show up for some event with their LPs...

I am extrapolating from experiences with a tibetan mastiff and a bull terrier. I think dogs in this family are less temperamental and less snappy.They do have a lot of aggression for other dogs or animals of similar size. But a lot depends on how they were trained. A poorly trained pitbulls can be very dangerous. But they are extremely obedient even if it comes to following orders when they are in pain. I think this is the reason they are the preferred breed for dog-fighting. There a participant is disqualified if it continues to attack after a round has ended. I am sure that trait was bred in.

A big advantage of UBI is that it allows a smooth transition from living only on UBI into better paid employment because you don't lose the income once you start working. A long term study would reveal if this lowers unemployement overall.

Is it enough to live on? Well I think that depends on expectations, but it is a start and it is certainly better than nothing.
Sure. There are some other things to mitigate that. I forgot which rule, but one of them limits what a successful Sybil attack can do.

The whitepaper with the complete list of business rules and why those were chosen are worth reading.
I would argue that VC investing is actually a renaissance in providing bountiful cheap funding for startups to get off the ground. It is only going to expand. And if you know anything about the process, there are ample lawyers and legal contracts to set out terms and equity. Investing is less about insiders and more about innovation than it has ever been. If you are waiting for its collapse, you are going to be sitting in your gaming chair for quite a long time.
So his apologies are genuine while others are not?

He's been caught several times in Blackface and when asked directly about other possible incidents he would not reply. Does that seem transparent and heartfelt?

Everyone who gets caught in Blackface apologizes, and they are usually heartfelt, in the sense that in most cases, there was no malice intended.

He was treated differently because he's the champion of 'one side of a narrative' - and without his figurehead, the movement would be lost as none of the political movements in Canada have any truly popular figures among them.

Given that Trudeau is a champion of progressive causes, and the he, alone among politicians of all stripes was caught doing the most 'visibly offensive thing' (just Google 'Trudeau Blackface' and see the photos) - it really does exemplify the height of hypocrisy.
As someone with IBS, totally agree with you. I wish the research would trickle down into actual treatments. I have started following a lot of research about gut etc but very little of it leads to something that can mass consumed.

I spent thousands of dollars on trying out medications, tests, visiting a number of highly trained doctors etc, nothing came up in tests and at the end almost all doctors threw their hands up and categorized my gut issues as IBS which is just a catchAll term for which there is no specific treatment other than trying out a number of things.

At least one of your questions is answered above the fold of the homepage.

I d say take the bait because the article is brilliant
By "traditional server-structure URL path mentality", do you mean the mapping of URLs directly to static files on the filesystem? If so, I'd argue that's a separate issue from SPA vs. MPA. After all, most MPA frameworks, like Django and Rails, break that equivalence. URLs map to controllers, rather than particular templates.
I don't think there is (always) this assumption. For example, the author in this article tries to focus on the objective issues with the App Store, rather than who owes whom what. Perhaps not perfectly, but, afai can see, he tries.

Sure, Apple being the gatekeeper, it's easy to take criticism of the App Store as criticism of Apple. It's also easy to slip into criticizing Apple while criticizing the App Store. Fundamentally, however, while similar, the two are not the same. It depends on what conclusion you draw. Which is it: "Boo Apple, fix your store," or "Boo developers, boycott iOS until they fix the store!"

However, boycotting becomes less realistic the longer the feedback loop gets. I can stop buying some kind of milk brand tomorrow, and pick up the day after. Deciding what platform to publish apps on is an entirely different ball game. In that light, the unviability of any "free market" alternatives we as devs have to combat Apple on this makes it look very much like a monopoly, and that holds weight as an argument against Apple (not just against the App Store).

Yeah, they technically don't owe us anything, but no, the playing field is too uneven for that to just be the end of the story.

"$1000 after tax is not appropriate for two days work"

Assuming you work 250 days a year ... $125,000/year after tax is never acceptable for web dev? Even in the USA that's flying pretty damned high everywhere outside NY/SF. ... And you can live anywhere, it's remote work!

What, pray tell, is an acceptable wage? What sort talent and experience level makes that pay "appropriate"?
The real explanation is near the end of the post -- the Ethernet controller was inadvertently left doing DMA to a buffer that overlapped with the initramfs.
A flip phone doesn't really stop surveillance. They still track where you are, who you call. Sure, maybe no app data, but since you don't use Facebook and such that data wouldn't be there anyway.

As mentioned in the comments, the actual price will be ~200$ with a rented helicopter, which can take up to 6 passenger.

My first thoughts as a layman are, if the service takes off [0] it could be made really feasible if they find a way to rent, land and operate a monster like the Mil Mi-26 [1], which takes 60 civilians or 90 troops.

People would use the service just to fly to the airport for fun.

So I was right about the furry part it seems. Funny that just stating "seems a furry got to decide on whatever that on the right is" seems to be against the guidelines. I get that it can come across as being snarky, but I'm not a native speaker and lacked the word "mascot". Maybe I might miss something entirely different though. The rest is just stating facts. I stand by that and feel that it's super unprofessional to use a mascot like that.
