I avoid checking my luggage precisely because I don't want anyone else handling it, nor do I want it ever leaving my sight.

I do think that baggage causes a significant delay, but primarily because people don't board in exactly the order of their seats, and the aisle only supports one person (and their bag) at a time. So, with people boarding from the front of the plane, you have people in row 12 waiting with their bag behind a person in row 10 stowing their bag; after the person in row 10 stows their bag and sits down, the person in row 12 can move forward and start stowing their bag. And after they finish and sit down, the person behind them can go back to row 14 and start stowing their bag.

And the same situation happens in reverse when debarking the plane.

If everyone boarded and debarked in exactly the order of their seats, then everyone could load their bags in parallel, and boarding and debarking would speed up significantly.
Maybe not a murder charge, but in the US, there are a number of lesser charges that don't imply direct intent, such as negligent homicide, 3 degrees of manslaughter and others. In the case of deliberate targeting of women based on gender, it's possible to attach a hate crime charge as well, which would add significantly to the possible jail time. At the very least, pursuing some of these charges would build leverage, which may result in the defendant pleading to a lesser charge.

That in turn would result in no trial, and circumvent the complicated question of whether SWAT team operations disproportionately increase the risk of death or serious injury.

For one I'm glad it doesn't have wifi since that'd add on size and cost. I hope that the ecosystem takes off and shields get created like wifi, bluetooth, gsm, etc. That would be really useful and give everyone flexibility.

I actually did used to work on the USS Enterprise, the one that floats in the water on Earth. I was a sailor, it was in the shipyards for overhaul, and there weren't a lot of operational blinking lights at the time. But there was a hell of a lot of grinding away old paint and putting on new paint.
Have also experienced this. More of a "blue collar" feel of "it's just a job", rather than all this loaded mission/passion/vision BS that seems to accompany many white-collar jobs. I also find it refreshing.

Anecdotally, I've found this "honesty" more frequently in owner-operated companies, family businesses, etc. than in "white collar" "professional" settings. I like when people have the honesty to say, "we're doing it this way because I want to" rather than having to dress it up in some quasi-rational, quasi-scientific "we've evaluated the costs and benefits, and concluded that this way is superior" when the decision was 100% emotion/preference/it's my friend's company/we did it this way before/other silly reason.

Certain airlines (e.g. Norwegian) do this. It's usually a more unpleasant experience because you can't use a jetway and have to use the stairs and be exposed to the outside elements.

Most wifi networks are NATed, so this would only work if you could also reconfigure the router to forward the necessary ports to the device.

You could use it more easily for hosting hidden services though, as those only require an outbound connection to be made to the Tor network. Hidden services on a hidden device.

Good idea. One practical challenge: you have to make sure nobody (including small children who don't listen to directions like "don't stick your arms out") gets hurt when getting moved next to the walls.

Also, if you don't have the walls attached to the module, then you'll have a challenge including the ceiling, and the overhead luggage racks.

I don't know about this. I think it's wholly possible that people derive inspiration and perspective from Dribbble, Behance and similar sites, and use that inspiration to attempt to solve actual business problems in UI/UX, the specifics of which are never posted to Dribbble, either due to NDAs or more likely, because it would be incredibly boring for the average Dribbble user to look at.

I don't believe Dribbble has portrayed itself as a site to showcase business case studies. A lot of the time, it's simply a repository of design samples or off-work personal projects. And I'll admit, after a long day of looking at dull wireframes, it's simply a relief to look at a fun UI mockup animation, even if it might not work in a real-life production app.
This big hope here is that the standard can be finalized in time for native custom elements to be released in Safari 10.

I'd love to hear advice from any HNers in the know about the best way to buy quality tailored menswear and get the most bang for your buck, particularly suits. I know you're not going to get that at a chain, and there's a lot of information about bespoke online, but I'd like to know what HN thinks about it.

Would be interesting to know exactly why the board was so vehement about ousting him.
Where in the world are you?

Editting since I can't reply. Technologically limiting... There's an irony here.

So the first thing is to understand the kind of tailoring you're after. There's a difference between fully bespoke and having adjustments made. The latter is 98% of the fit that you'll get, with a shorter time to wait, and you'll be wearing similar things before which can give you a better idea of what you'll end up with if you haven't bought a fully tailored suit before.

The second thing is to consider what you're buying for. There's a difference, obviously, between buying for a daily suit to wear, and purchasing for a more formal or occasion specific outfit (for example, a white tie event suit with tails).

That being said, here's some general pointers.

Wool is worth the money. It wears well, it's classic, and it'll be able to adjust nicely if you put on or lose weight/muscle. A good navy or charcoal wool suit as a daily is a solid choice. Look for a good weight in a daily wear. 8-10oz would be my choice.

Jacket: partially or ideally fully canvased would by my choice. It's more expensive but harder wearing, and it'll mould to.the shape of your body better. It'll also generally have better definition and shape.

Ask what will be hand sewn. More fiddly areas like the cuffs and collar will get a better fit if hand finished. On a similar note, think about what you want in terms of a style considering your body shape. If you're leaner, a suit with narrow darts and some padding in the shoulder will accentuate the torso. Pinstripes have a similar effect, in lengthening the body. Talk to your tailor and get recommendations based on your particular body shape. For example, I'm tall bit broad shouldered, so I tend to go for a smaller card shoulder pad, to allow for definition but still create mobility in the arms.

Now, for more formal wear, you're going to be getting more expensive. Similar considerations apply, but think about the whole outfit. What shoes you'll be wearing will influence fabric colour choice. Is it white or black tie? Bow tie or less formal?

For a full white tie outfit, for example, you'll want to think about how often you'll wear it. There's places you can save money, in terms of garment longevity if you aren't planning on wearing regularly. For example, lighter wools will cost less (essentially you're buying less material, and the thinner wools are easier to work).

Also, plan to spend some time. A full fitting will be between 30-50ish measurements, depending on your size and body shape. That takes time. Ask about how many times you'll need to be fitted. Assume twice, but a larger person may need three or four.

Finally, I'd generally say classic for formal and daily, but modern for events. For example, if I'm attending a more relaxed business event, I'll wear a Saville Row with a particularly bright lining, or perhaps something with a more interesting outer fabric.

> It’s curious we’ve allowed capitalism to become all about shareholders.

For god's sake I hope this view becomes more prevalent.

Viewing economy only through shareholder's eyes leads to a focus on only short-term gains - which might destroy the company in the future but who cares when stock goes up 10% in a quarter?

Fuck this shit. The economy would fare a LOT better in my eyes if any investor over a certain threshold (10k?) was forced to hold the stock in question for 12 months at a minimum, similar to the waiting periods startup founders/co-owners have to endure before they're allowed to sell their stock.

Such a move would instantly kill off those greedy funds which make a company go deep into debt, pay the money from these debts to the shareholders (i.e. the fund(s)) and then go bankrupt.

edit: also, such a move would prevent people from investing in crapps like Yo, which got at least $2.5M in funding...

I'd be interested in that as well. I've heard people say that a well-tailored suit or tux can be exceptionally comfortable, to the point that some prefer them over "business casual" attire; that would be the polar opposite of my usual experience.

>This article conflates two very different things: creating new tolls on existing infrastructure, and creating new toll-funded infrastructures.

The conflation is irrelevant. Both things may be rejected outright without consideration of their subtleties. Infrastructure of the type funded by tolls is massive and takes up significant space. No level of tolling will be able to compensate for the disruption to the non-users of the infrastructure.
I think one of the reasons here is that a lot of UX people don't work on products, they work on projects. And once you've handed in your deliverables, you move on to the next project and never ever look back.

Well, that entirely depends on your goals, budget and location.

Do you want a made to measure suit, tailored to your body? Or do you want a bespoke suit (mostly the same, but tailored entirely by hand).

If you're in America and you'd like an entry level "luxury" made to measure suit, Brooks Brothers is nice at $1500/suit or so. You can also try for other luxury brands, up to and including Tom Ford, at $40,000/suit (or more).

For a bespoke suit you can spend anywhere from $2000 (cheap) to mid five figures. Saville Row in London is "the place" to go for these, but if you're in America there are many small shops in New York City across all sorts of price ranges.

In general a bespoke suit is better than a merely made to measure suit (at least financially it has a better cost justification and there is an "experience" factor), and a brand name is commonly thought of as less desirable than an independent tailor.

Beyond that it's harder to give a good answer without more detail on what you want, how much you can spend and where you are. Personally I'd never get a suit at Men's Wearhouse, I have found the attention to detail and patronage there is lacking. At the absolute bottom in terms of price, mysuit.com is nice for bang for your buck factor.

My personal recommendation is to spend the money on a bespoke suit, all things being equal. An experienced tailor making a bespoke suit will cost more, but will more easily achieve an attractive and comfortable fit than a machine will. You also have much greater choice.

In my opinion, paying for a made to measure suit is only slightly better than buying off the rack. Bespoke suits are usually offered by independent tailors, not larger brand names. This means that bespoke suits are usually expensive due to the skilled labor costs associated with making a fitted suit by hand. But a made to measure suit is usually just a higher offering than an off the rack suit at a brand name luxury store (Brooks Brothers, Emporio Armani, Canali, Brioni, Zegna, etc.). In other words, you pay for some tailoring skill and a lot of brand name. I'd rather spend $5000 on a bespoke suit from an obscure but skilled tailor on Saville Row than $5000 on a made to measure Canali.

I encourage everyone who can to purchase bespoke or made to measure suits, however. I find tailored suits so comfortable that I enjoy wearing them. The signaling effect is also nice. You can clearly tell the difference between a suit off the rack and a suit that has been tailored to a custom fit. If you spring for higher quality materials you can vastly improve the durability and comfort as well.

If you'd like a few exact brands to check out, indiscriminate of price:

• Bespoke suits - Huntsman, Gieves & Hawkes

• Made to measure suits - Brooks Brothers, Canali

• Tailored shirts - Thomas Pink, Turnbull & Asser

• Ties - Hermes, Drake's of London

• Shoes - John Lobb, Stefanelli, Bemer

Hope this helps you out.
