I wouldn't blast you, this has been our running office conversation for several months, usually brought up by a new article on automation.

We're all doing whatever the terrified version of munching popcorn is at the prospect of what will happen when the last accessible, no-education-required job that can earn a livable income, i.e. truck driving, can be done by robots. Unlike most jobs done by people with few skills, like burger flipping, the vast majority of people don't want humans actually doing them anymore, so the costs will be absorbed quicker by the shipping companies. Plus the cost of human drivers is high, things like insurance, benefits, 401k, etc. all could be used to replace them all with autonomous trucks.

Then you have an entire infrastructure that grew up around trucks, the truck stop (possibly the most American thing that can fit inside one building), all the highway side motels, on and on. All of these things we expect will fold within a decade or so of autonomous trucks becoming viable. With the trucks being automated a lot of what would be needed at a truck stop could then also be automated with little issue.

Then we have all the truck drivers, and all the people who served truck drivers, out of work with no decent career path. If I've ever heard of a plausible apocalypse scenario, that's it.
"Entertaining" isn't a word I'd use to describe that overlong digression in an otherwise entertaining novel. I love Stephenson, but he sure could use a stern editor at times.
Does "cross-platform" include Linux? I'd like to give this a try, but I'd rather not boot back to Windows unless I have to.
Going Wireless with Ruckus Wireless' Michael Fletcher
What would you suggest? I mean we're dealing with the section of our population that either won't (or can't) do anything above the bare minimum. I don't want them to starve or freeze, I'm not a total asshole, but how much should we really be imparting onto people who effectively aren't contributing?

Some American talking about genocide... That's really a joke!
It's really complicated. Many centuries before the Emperor had became a token, if you held him (I think it was all men by then), that helped your case for legitimacy. The Emperor got a bit of a rehabilitation in the downfall of the Tokugawa Shogunate ("military government"), the other side rallied around the name of the Emperor, and I guess he was given something of a position in the following fatally flawed constitution; things were so fluid then any strong man could make a difference.

Fatally flawed in that you couldn't form a government without a member each from the Army and Navy, and the Army abused this. Plus in the 20s or so a culture of acceptable political assassination developed.

In this context, I'm sure Hirohito, who would have much rather focused on marine biology, knew very well something unpleasant would happen to him if he didn't go along with the ultranationalists, there's way too much old and new Japanese history telling him exactly that.

I seriously doubt he could have prevented the war, especially since the genesis was so long in forming, e.g. without their depredations in China stretching back years, and of course the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, it's very unlikely things would have come to a head like they did. And why not go back to their turn of the century war with Russia and occupation of Korea? Not all that many people are upset with the former, even today, although it helped set the stage for the Bolsheviks and most of the bloodletting of the 20th Century.

Repeating a bit about what I've read especially in Hell to Pay (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10685585), while we can debate his being able to influence things earlier, we, the peoples of East Asia, etc. can be very thankful that he was able to throw his weight behind surrender after the two bombs and the Soviet entry in the war, in a situation where the cabinet was still bloody minded enough to stay the course. And I'm not so sure they wouldn't have "won", they were quite willing to sacrifice 20 million of their own people in the process, a mere 1/5-1/4th.

Counterfactuals to that could include Hirohito trying earlier and being replaced by a pliable Emperor who wouldn't have dared try or have had the stature to make that utterly critical move when it most counted.

There's no demand for moving Parthenon Sculptures?
It seems to be one of the "negative results are bad" category opinions, manifested through a grumpy blog post. I don't share that opinion. I think negative result is sometimes as valuable as positive, in that it allows us to remove some competing theories from the table and focus on the good ones.
Seems to me you're describing VoIP, not a landline. It also seems that the definition has shifted. So is landline still POTS, or does VoIP from your cable provider count?
Ask HN: What websites do you visit daily besides HN?
I'm actually surprised at how many people still have landlines. I switched over to wireless in 1998 and never looked back.
I think you might be looking at it the wrong way. All other companies know exactly how to build an electric car. It really isn't that difficult. What they have is zero interest in is building a $100K electric car nobody will buy. Tesla has only sold somewhere around 90,000 Model S's and they seem to be losing thousands per sale.

This Wikipedia page has number on various models:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automobile_sales_by_mo...

For example (units sold):

Audi A3 3,000,000
Audi A4 5,000,000
BMW 3 series 9,500,000
BMW 5 series 5,000,000
Chevy Camaro 4,800,000
Corvette well over 1,300,000
Chevy Impala 13,000,000 sold over 1,000,000 cars in a single year
Chrysler Minivans 11,000,000
Fiat Punto 8,500,000
Ford Escort 20,000,000
Ford F series 33,000,000
Ford Model T 16,500,000 ...just for fun
Ford Mustang 9,000,000
Honda Civic 16,500,000
Mazda 3 4,000,000
Mercedes C Class 6,900,000
Mercedes S Class 4,000,000
Nissan Sentra 15,900,000
Toyota Corolla 40,000,000
Volkswagen Golf 30,000,000

Anyhow, it is probably fair to say these companies know how to build cars and have the infrastructure to support just about anything. Electric cars are far simpler and very well understood from an Electrical Engineering perspective.

What all of these companies are waiting for is for the financial equation to bend in favor of electric vehicles. That means storage technology with somewhere around a 4x gain over current state of the art. In other words, twice the energy in half the volume and probably half the cost (or less).

The minute that battery technology becomes available all car companies will absolutely jump on it and we are going to see fantastic high-quality cars coming out of all of them at different price, performance, quality and sophistication levels.

When that happens Tesla will be in an interesting spot. They lack the capital and manufacturing horsepower to go toe-to-toe with the giants. My guess is they'll remain a luxury e-car brand and produce a new car every three to five years or so. Perhaps they'll have a parallel battery business, if an only if they can compete with the like of Samsung other other giants who will surely have economies of scale in their favor when manufacturing new storage technologies.

I am concerned we might be at the footstep of a major improvement in energy storage technology and I simply have very little interest in getting stuck with an $80K Tesla nobody is going to want. This could very well be the wrong way to think about this.

As I said before, I am not a fan boy. I am looking at this purely from a financial perspective first. I am not interested in buying another expensive toy car, I already have the fire-breathing twin turbocharged fun cars. To me an electric is what I would call a working car. It has to make financial sense. It has to pay for itself within a reasonable period of time. I am not going to buy one because I am in love with Tesla, that is a stupid way to make financial decisions. And that's the problem with an $80K to $100K price point if we are at the edge of a step change in technology as well as other vendors coming online with viable options for less.
There were no colonies, there were part of the "Virreinato de Nueva Granada" learn some history before spreading anti-Spanish bullshit.
"I don't feel free to leave a bad review because the next landlord might not rent to me if they see I've left other bad reviews".

A hack to deal with this: leave praise in the review, but end it with 'and I'll be sure to tell all my friends'.

That used to be code in hotel guestbooks that all the preceding praise should be inverted. (I think that's the codephrase - someone correct me if it's wrong please!) Not sure if it's used in AirBnb, but hey, why not start the tradition now...
> We later came to recognize the cold, commercial experience offered by this host and others of his ilk, with multiple listings of impersonally furnished places and a willingness to let non-reviewed guests stay, was something we wished to avoid.

I'm not sure what would constitute a warm and personal experience. They want to have the place all to themselves, but are put off by ... what exactly? A lack family photos? Or more "morbid" art that they also ended up hating?

> Our rear-facing prewar one-bedroom, where the couch sagged and the shower was in the kitchen, was as silent as a padded cell. Here, the heat blasted unbidden, from which we escaped by opening the windows to winter’s coldest month. That first night, on the way to the corner store to get some food, we dodged mice scurrying between bags of trash. Back in the kitchen, Elaine fired up the stove by the bath towels, but when the pasta from the corner store hit the boiling water, a few little worms floated to the top. I skipped dinner that night.

This adds color to their story, but doesn't say much about AirBNB - opening the windows to deal with winter heat and seeing rodents in the street is pretty standard for New York. What isn't standard is having an apartment that's "silent as a padded cell" - as far as I'm concerned, that should be listed as an amenity.
It is interesting that no comments mention the "SmartDrug" , or nootropics. There was a rumor that half of Silicon Valley CEOs use Modafinil,an important nootropics that enhance human's brain.

There are some new breakthrough in recent years about psychedelics that with low dosages, psychedelics can be more efficient nootropics. Psychedelics might give normal people some visualization capabilities that most famous geniuses have. It's good for graduate students to understand complicated math or engineering concept. There could be more new discoveries in Science because more normal people have genius brains.

Steve Jobs mentioned using LSD was one of two or three most important things in his life.That statement might be ignored by most people.It's quite likely that Jobs could never be the Jobs we know without LSD.
...and the resulting eternal search for adaptable general purpose programming languages to resolve the conflict. See Smalltalk-72 (too much), Smalltalk-76 (keyword syntax, nice compromise for making APIs DSL-ish), Ruby (hackable, but nasty), Grace's generalized method names (looks pretty awesome!)...
Can't agree more with the OSSEC recommendation ( http://ossec.net ) . Been using it extensively and gives an early warning system if something is going on (both in terms of files changes, backdoors and log trails).
The documentary mentioned 2 things.

1. The trains never made a profit past 1929 (the great depression). I'm not sure if they said why.

2. The train companies had made deals to maintain the roads. As cars got more popular that made maintenance too expensive and provided an incentive to switch to buses which would transfer maintenance of the roads to the city.

Of course I agree that it was shortsighted of the city to let the trains go. They probably should have run them themselves or made some new deals or something. Now they're paying billions to build new lines and they take forever to build. The purple line that goes down Wilshire is supposed to take until 2035! to be finished down to UCLA :(

The silence is a critique? A New York apartment where you can't hear neighbors or street noise is something to be cherished.
Examining IPv6 Performance
That used to be a problem, but by now cell phones are just as useful in emergency scenarios.

The CDC isn't saying that only having a cell phone is itself risky. They're saying it correlates with risky behavior.
As a non-expert, I ask, "What's a solution that meets the needs of all parties?" The mine went from private to government to private hands. The people and workers need the basics, at a minimum: water, clean air, safety, health care...plus, they need opportunity. The mine owner and shareholders want a return on investment, at a time when metal prices have bottomed-out.

After reading the article, it seems so complicated that it would take competent reconciliation between all parties, to find a solution.
This looks great. It's tough to win over people from other tools, so it'd be nice to see comparison with Sketch, say. Good luck, the future of Web is bright with projects like this one.
Virtual machine inspection, now with added Prolog
One thing back then that's mostly gone now was the underground economy for data. Hackers and techies, myself included, had to find the best sources for software, music, even porn haha. The speed, pricing, and availability issues meant whoever had the most in one spot (or in person) had an advantage. So, barter networks emerged where people hooked each other up with stuff trading all this data. I used to even hunt for obscure stuff when I had more time than money and someone had something I needed. I was good at it, too, with my eventual collection of noteworthy content being 200+ CD's.

Now Google, StackOverflow, Reddit, and Bittorrent keeps us old Shadowrunners in the niches that mainstream rarely touches or has too little patience for. Old days were fun, though. :)
I'm a Mac user and buy their extended warranty, which covers HW failures for 3 years. There are really no replaceable parts in their new laptops (soldered SSD and RAM!), which is a shame but an OK (not great) compromise considering their weight and other advantages.
Engineering addictive/compulsive usage is the highest achievement for any company as relates to their bottom line. Coke, Apple, FritoLay, Altria, Google etc... Literally every consumer focused company that is a leader in their market has gotten this down to a T and the ones with the most addicting properties among them, do the best.
For anybody curious, the guy perpetrating this "hack" is Robert Brooks Authement (https://www.facebook.com/broox.authement.8), a heroin user and domestic abuser, who lives in Fort Collins, CO, runs a Facebook group (https://m.facebook.com/groups/cybrpunk) and who has an arrest record, as well as an estranged wife/daughter.

He's stolen money from Gagnon's various accounts as "seed money" for some bizarre purpose, and is now spamming Gagnon's Facebook, Twitter, and Medium accounts.

Feel free to report all of those. Authement's not related to ISIS in the least, other than his obsession with hashtag-ing them.

No doubt the twit will be shut out of these accounts within a day or so. Kindly report to whatever services you like.
Is there a good book, or guide for this somewhere? Have been wondering for a while about how to best do this.
"Please revisit using Google Chrome" no, that's okay.
"This country needs to offer a minimal viable income to all citizens"

It's called "welfare": Various government programs (SNAP, edicaid, EITC, SSI, CHIP, TANS CSFP, Obamacare, etc.) do provide minimal viable income to US citizens.

Social Justice types may bemoan the situation; but throwing middle class tax money at the problem is not a guaranteed solution.
This is hardly new in many regards. The excellent books "Suburban Nation", and "Bowling Alone", both written in late 90's do a great job connecting urban design patterns to life individual and community outcomes.
I'm glad to have read this, as I've had the same notion of living locally during world tours.

I am curious about a couple of things...

All of these experiences were in New York. How would it have been different in Athens, Tokyo, or Sydney, in terms of misrepresentation?

Also, using average apartment cost to gauge the amount to spend on the AirBnb unit is probably not apples-to-apples (for similar reasons that a regular full time salary is likely going to be significantly less than a contractor rates for the same position). I would have used hotel rates instead, which would have been much higher than $100/night in New York. It might be that had they stayed in higher priced lodging, they'd have had a better experience.
Anything under 1024 requires root iirc. 81, 88, &c would show you have control of the server, correct?

The bigger issue is probably firewalls (in front of the server getting a cert) only allowing inbound on 80 and 443.
The Soviet Union gave this a shot. Didn't really work out.
It could/should be a bit more, yes, but you also have thousands of representatives in the state governments and that isn't working out much better with respect to gerrymandering.

The advantage with the mixed-member system is that you get to elect both a representative and a party, so even if you don't end up getting the representative you've hoped for your vote still matters.
It used to be the case that a landline was required to get DSL. I don't know if it still is, but that would be a reasonable explanation.
If someone wants a tool to "determine their value" he is already asking the wrong question. It is his work that should have value. I can only feel sorry for people who believe that they should be the product and not their work.
It is very unreasonable to first allow mining in the center of town, and then expect someone else, not those reaping rents (in profits and in taxes) to bear the costs of moving the citizens to to avoid lead poisoning. Their health is ruined, their home values are ruined. Their town is ruined. Of course it would've been better in the first place to not mine in such a hazardous manner in the middle of a 70K person town.
If the internet is addictive, why don’t we regulate
The members of the anti-war faction knew bloody well that if they made too much of a fuss about it they would be assassinated. Perhaps the object lesson to learn from the Pacific War is that it's beyond insane to allow a culture of acceptable political assassination to develop in your system. See also how the Nazis were tacitly supported in their street battles etc. with the Communists et. al.
But that is exactly the point (of the blog), the experiment ruled out nothing because at best it tested only ideas that were already ruled out before the experiment and at worst it didn't really test anything at all because there was no consistent theory to begin with.
NASA Releases New Video Showing Higher-Resolution Closeup of Pluto
You would be surprised. A lot of of those things were invented in those times - and with realistic timeframes for when they'd be available. PARC in particular had a "skate where he puck will be in 10 years" attitude.
How about requiring control over DNS, like I suggested before?

Put a public key in the DNS, sign the CSR with the corresponding private key, the CA will fetch DNS, verify the signature, and then sign your certificate.
Go to Finland. 17€ for over 150GB and counting LTE. A friend of mine is studying there and I thought she was joking me - I get 3GB 3G traffic and a call flat for 25€ in Germany.
It's actually more of a "this experiment isn't good enough to measure what you are trying to measure." If that's the case, then it is a waste.
My point is that we have to thank the old Spanish and Portuguese empires for their role in extinguishing South American cultures.
This passage from the article might help answer that:

"DeepMind learned to play video games by randomly taking any action it could. This may be fine for video games, but in the real world it could be expensive, time-consuming, and even deadly to have a robot trying to learn by trying every possible action to see what generated a “reward” and what didn’t. So Osaro also wrote algorithms that helps computers learn by mimicking humans."
I've never heard of this before; I don't know how many hosts would pick up on it.

Also, I think I've left that comment before in various places, and I certainly didn't intend it to mean that I hated it.
As it was said in the "background section" this is not a problem with redis but a configuration/ops problem instead.

Either way, you should always check the open ports and listening services in a given machine. In this case for a quick check you could use: https://www.isredisallsafe.com/
Holy crap, it works for distances up to 120m using a custom built antenna.

Yes, buffered aspirin. Acetaminophen is not as irritating to the stomach and needs no buffer.
I'm not sure how much higher; when we first came here to visit, before moving, we stayed at Hotel Marakkech on the UWS - a great place, and looking at their booking page, their rates for all of January are under a hundred dollars (with the exception of New Year Eve's weekend, of course.)

To be fair, the rooms are much smaller than a typical AirBNB, and it doesn't come with a kitchen.

Iron and Wine: Unreleased Songs from the Beginning
I'd list all positives first, then negatives. I guess I'm used to descriptions online being inaccurate, so background check is always valuable, and past comments should help with that. This applies to Uber and any similar scheme, you gotta be honest otherwise the scheme won't work. You can always soften with "in my opinion, my experience" etc.
I'm going to review this from a very subjective standpoint. If you want, you can just announce that I'm not the intended audience, that's OK. So, I'm a lead developer of a mobile project (usually, a game), who wants to improve collaboration with designers.

They work in a professional WYSIWYG design tool like Photoshop and Illustrator (most know both). Then I take their designs and recreate them in the WYSIWYG design tool — Unity3d UI engine, or iOS Storyboards, or this Android XML thingy (I never actually worked with it, but from a couple of tutorials I got a feeling that it's not that different). Re-creating these designs is work-load problem as well as a communication one.

Now, this service allows me to solve this communication problem by asking designers to learn this tool — which is new to them, which requires time, and also isn't as powerful as Photoshop.

Or I can just ask the designers to learn the tool that WYSIWYG tool that I use to actually create their designs — like Unity UI or iOS storyboards — and solve both of these problems at once. Of course, they will also need to learn the scary words like "Pull", "Commit" and "Push", but after long experimentation I found out that designers are actually not brain-dead (as many engineers erroneously think) and are capable of understanding the basic VCS concepts.

This leaves me with a question: how is the first solution better than the second?

And also: how soon will we finally understand that the 00s hipster/indie-kid aesthetic is completely dead, and using it in a product video is not "cool" anymore — and haven't been for the last 5 years? Seriously, "corporate suits and elevator music" image would look much more fresh.
The Jobs we know is no genius. The only extraordinary thing about him is the ability to exploit people. As for psychadelics, they'll give you the ability to visualise things that normal people don't alright. Like random geometric shapes even after you've stopped using.
