Wal-Mart and McDonald's are the modern equivalent of the diner and malt shop that middle-class white people may be more familiar with (it seems this article was written with a specific readership in mind). Go to any small town or poor rural area, and these are the places people congregate. It has almost nothing to do with food, and more to do with a social space designed for people to gather comfortably.

In Italy it's the piazza. In the UK & Ireland it's the pub. In more enclosed neighborhoods in the US it may simply be your neighbor's stoop, or a certain street or alley. Access to a social space facilitates human interaction & culture.

"Your browser is not currently supported. Google Fonts works best on Chrome, Firefox, or Safari."

Google still treating Edge users like trash, I see[0]. Microsoft Edge works fine for the vast majority of websites, and a block like this telling you to get a different browser is incredibly painful. If you tell me I need a different browser, I'm going to find a different company or website to do business with.

[0]Gmail pesters Edge users weekly to switch to Chrome. Unlike other browsers, where pressing 'not interested' causes it to go away permanently, it returns weekly like a bad rash.
Google photos only groups similar faces and requires the user to assign a name to that group. Apple could presumably perform the grouping in the cloud and relegate the association of the group with an identity to the user's device.
Have you tried making your own mcdonald's french fries?

I did not have an accurate way to measure the temp of the oil, which is important.

Also I reused peanut oil, fresh oil would make the color nicer and a more pure taste.
In an odd way, thank you. This is a very difficult subject to discuss and it's very useful to read confirmations of these thoughts.

I had a conversation with a hired-gun researcher to find information on politicians to help others win elections, etc. He told me that nobody within their right journalistic mind would use FOIA to any large extent just because of the time it takes. Besides the potential dangers involved, the time-to-request-fulfilment is one of the larger reasons I'm doing this sort of work. If journalists aren't able to easily gather information within the public domain, then there are clear issues that need to be resolved.
>It's the state of Linux on the Desktop anywhere.

I'm a bit surprised at your comment as my experience with linux on the desktop (or laptop) has been consistently good on such things as Dells and custom-built boxes. Granted, there are a few minor bugs here and there, but overall Ubuntu and Debian seem to "just work" on commodity hardware. Maybe I've been lucky?

Are you suggesting that all these problems are comorbid or that these are all possible problems one might experience (in an uncorrelated way) on Mac hardware?
Yep. Would made perfect sense for the name as well.

That's absurd.

This redesign is awesome, but I think it might have killed my side project.

I’ve been working on a site that offers google fonts with better visuals and search by font feature (x-height, stroke contrast, etc) functionality.

Sunk 30+ hours into it designing + coding up the front end while my friend works on programmatically tagging the font on the backend.

I want to continue working on my project, but it now feels a lot less relevant. Any advice, HN?

For the curious, here's a wireframe of the main screen:https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzobxm2a2ul9y5l/main%20search.png?...

Every single time I've seen a VPAID ad, it's done what you're seeing in the linked post. It enables advertisers to do nasty and obnoxious things, easily abuse the system without punishment, and so it gets the beating end of my stick.
The current solution for coal are testing areas for compressed carbon storage, and they’re less risky than the nuclear waste storage.

The continual leaking of nuclear waste into the ground water at the Asse II underground nuclear waste storage site is a huge issue.

And so, already in '98, the Energiewende was started.

In the early 2000s Merkel tried to roll back the Energiewende, but was forced to roll back the rolling back when Fukushima happened, and people realized we had plants of the same construction type, where continually the emergency generators failed, and everyone said "nothing wrong, even if the generators fail, it can never go up".

German nuclear controls are just as much of a joke as nuclear controls in Japan or the US, and in most countries, they’re even worse.

One nuclear plant in Germany has bribed regulators for years to just sign it off, despite it violating regulations. Then there’s the plant in Belgium, where construction workers drilled through the containment vessel to screw a holder for a fire extinguisher on it.

Holes stayed open for many years.

Nuclear is a nice concept in theory, but in any capitalistic society, it can not work, because greed will end up with companies trying to save money, and if bribes are cheaper than following the laws, they will do that. If lobbying is cheaper, they’ll do that. If they can just leave the country and can’t be held liable, they’ll just do that.

Minor criticism: the characters preview is a bit of a mess. Two issues:

1) You're missing important non-ASCII characters which I know are in some of these fonts (such as Open Sans). These include German and Scandinavian characters like ü ä ö æ ø å ß (maybe more).

2) The ordering is non-standard and makes it hard to see what is actually there and not.
I copied those characters into the site, and it looks like they're supported by all but one family. Give it a shot.
Well,

I've looked at CUDA and OpenCL for my own development. I'd love to use OpenCL on the principle of openness and avoiding lock-in to NVidia.

But as far as I can tell, OpenCL is nothing like what a single developer would want to use for a large scale gpgpu program - it seems to be a layer that emulates all the varying features of all the manufacturer's chips to avoid advantaging any single manufacturer. Tons of boilerplate and none of the detailed "how to do X with Cuda" examples and manuals that NVidia has produced. It's not just that it's kind of hard and unfeatured, it's that given that it will basically continue to suck for the purposes of most gpgpu development, one can expect it to die or be suddenly replaced by something better. Basically, "open standards" from consortium of manufacturers have only existed to allow other large companies to produce just a few application on top of. I think any developer wants something they can "just program" and Cuda is miles ahead on that and seems likely to stay that way.
I'm looking specifically for remote code execution vulnerabilities, which is what the original comment was discussing, and which is a subset of what you posted.

And no, this is not like asking for citations for the sky sometimes being cloudy because the original comment didn't say "use-after-free sometimes leads to remote code exploit".

This is like asking for citations for a claim like "whenever the skies are cloudy it is due to acid rain more than any other reason". And a claim like that should be accompanied with some citations.

Full stop. No need to continue with the rest of your judgements.

Parenting is a very hard job, and it's only made worse by all the parents (and even worse--non-parents) that want to make judgements.

Being a parent, I now have a profound respect and appreciation for my parents (especially my mother). Things weren't always great, but they did the best they could.
What astonishes me, is how often poor people go eating in a restaurant (e.g. breakfast in the first paragraph) when making breakfast at home (or lunch) is so much cheaper (as a fun exercise we often calculate the prices of our home lunch).

Although I have a nice income, 80% of the time I bring my own food to work because restaurants are too expensive in my opinion to regularly use them.

As a side note: I have the suspicion I'm addicted to fast food (McDonalds/Burger King). When I don't go there for some weeks, I have no urge and I'm fine. But as soon as I eat there, I have the urge for days to go back and have another burger.

You can find deeply troubling things about all cultures. White, black, brown, rich, poor, middle class, young, old, doctors, brick layers, or welfare recipients. Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists all have beliefs that seem wrong to people both inside and outside of those groups.

Pretending groups are somehow above criticism is more about manners than fact.

PS: I have watched several people become more and sometimes less racist after moving to DC. This has far more about cultural friction than the people involved.
I've been using Django for some years now and have taken an interest in Node.js. In spite of Django (IMO) being simpler to get up and running. Node.js is now everywhere and is making progress in the enterprise stack.

What I'd like to know (or make happen) is a Django equivalent in Node.js. Something with a built-in Admin, ORM, and (server side) templating system. Anything stable out there that fits my requirements?

When I was in Osaka, the McDonald's had a blockbusting line going into it.

The food was, near as I can tell, identical to the American locations -- but the place was spacious, clean, and staffed mostly by the sort of mousy-voiced girls Japan seems to produce in legion strength. And you get a Handi-Wipe to clean up with after your meal.

This is a Google-specific problem. YouTube Gaming launched only working on Chrome as well. One of Google's web UI frameworks wrapped text by breaking words of any size mid-letter, if you weren't on Chrome for a while. (It would cut "the" if it felt like it during a word wrap.)

My browser, Edge, is simply blocked on Google Fonts.

It seems like Google is more and more dependent on automated testing for all if it's deployments, perhaps since everyone internally uses Chrome, nobody notices when those tests are lacking on other browsers. Google would do well to reintroduce "humans" into their development process, and maybe open their new websites once in each major browser before they push a release.

They're not entitled to execute code on my computer that I don't want executed. If they want to prevent access to their content, that's fine, but they aren't doing that, they're making an absurd attempt to keep their content online while forcing people to disable their adblockers, which protect people from excessive resource downloading, slow websites, behavior tracking, and malware. The correct response is to block the script that tries to force that, not disable the adblocker. Or, better yet, block the entire site.
Hey, another Robotical engineer here, thanks for your support!

We're planning (read: really want to but might not have time to do everything initially) to target a wide range of programming environments, with Scratch as a really basic level; This would make Marty a kinda smart toy, being able to do logo-like things but not much more. The more complex approaches will of course allow a lot more to be done with Marty.

The control board itself is going to have a fair amount of smarts, with an ARM cortex M4 - but that'll be running our firmware, so playing with that would require somewhat in-depth mbed experience. We'd expect most people to use the i2c or serial interface to hack with Marty, by writing their own code on a microcontroller, RasPi or BeagleBone, and packing that in with our board. As it's all open source, adding to the firmware will be possible, just not the most beginner friendly thing.

As for the WiFi functionality, we're looking at the ESP8266, (not final but unlikely to change) and building a C++, Python and ROS (http://ros.org, serious robotics stuff, very cool) set of APIs to use with Marty.

tl:dr; Two types of control, _standalone_ with an added raspi/arduino/other microcontroller, and _wifi-connected_ to a program running on a computer (scratch, python, C++...)
You're speaking in general, I'm being specific. The way Netflix has implemented peering is by literally building servers containing their content library, and racking them in ISP datacenters.

And there is a very real difference between peering agreements and throttling. The effect in both cases is slower Netflix, but they are completely different, from a technology and practical standpoint. "Basically the same" doesn't pass muster when it comes to something like this, which is ruled entirely by subtlety and nuance.
""Redneck Liberals" comes to mind. "

I don't think people realize just what a late group this really is. Often times they're more under the Libertarian umbrella, though, but still... there's more shades of purple than there are red or blue.
I don't hate McDonald's because it isn't organic or biowhatever. I'm also not concerned with elevating myself to some perceived class I don't belong in. I hate it because it tastes like garbage and is expensive compared to similar options. For a dollar or two more I can get a vastly superior burger, fries and shake at 5 Guys, Tasty Burger, Wahlburgers or whatever.
I believe the Lightning port itself is digital signal and power only. There may be cables that have a small lump in them somewhere that provides an inline DAC to output to analog audio. This would be an example of a propreitary adapter though, and is not desireable.
People in the US need to be more aware of the Authoritarian <-> Anti-Authoritarian spectrum in politics. There are some people on the left who are very authoritarian, while there are others who instead prioritize individual rights. In the us, the term "Libertarian" has been placed on the political right, while the "left" is a mishmash of very Authoritarian and Anti-Authoritarian views.
And the us doesn't have native Chinese speakers?
> Your lack of faith in human nature should extend to all humans, not just ones who are the apparatus of the state.

It's not that there's some reason to preternaturally trust corporations and to distrust the state, it's that the apparatus of the state is infinitely more powerful. If a corporation acts unethically, you lose the benefits and service it provides. If the state acts unethically, you lose your freedom and/or your life. That's a colossal difference.

Likewise, if the choice is between Google controlling access to the internet and Chinese-style regulation controlling access to the internet, there's really no choice at all: who would pick Chinese internet service over Google Fiber? And make no mistake: with utility-style regulation the only boundary between the FCC and the PRC is "the people", and if this year's election has shown anything, they are a fickle and largely ignorant bunch. "Utility-style regulation" isn't an epithet because the internet shouldn't be treated as a utility; it's an epithet because utility regulation over the past hundred years has been absolutely disastrous, enabling the supreme power of corporations, not limiting it. It's really, really sad to see the internet falling into the hands of telecoms and the FCC.

Hey Maciej - maybe this will go better than our twitter exchange a few months back.

This is a much longer discussion than fit for HN but digital advertising is doing better in pretty much every metric: There's more time spent with ads, deeper engagements, more conversions/ROI and better formats than ever before. Take a look at any of the big apps and platforms that have billions of interactions that happen every day for the data to back this up. Adblocking, even at the scale it is today, is still a small percentage of the entire market.

I'm not sure who you're referring to with "everyone" but the situation is definitely not untenable. It's just outdated. Advertising is always a relationship between the advertiser, publisher and consumer but the consumer was never really considered in the past because they had no power or way to provide feedback. Adblocking is changing that dynamic and giving power to the people while letting advertisers know that they need to actually consider the user experience.

Since the advertising model isn't going to go away, the natural evolution is that the implementation and approach will change to create better experiences that fit with the way people consume media along with the expectations around privacy, relevance and value. The market will also re-calibrate and rise up from the artificially low rates of today.

This is a massive industry so it won't be quick and there will be lots of pain in the short term. No way around that, but progress is happening and things will absolutely get better. It might be a hated industry (and for good reason) but there are plenty of good people out there working hard and doing the right thing.

On the other hand, for using it from a higher-level language (through various bindings) and writing my own kernels instead of just using Nvidia's libraries I find OpenCL much easier.

I have found there to be some common misconceptions about how tax brackets work, at least in the US. I'm not sure if this is how it works in your country and you might already be aware of this, but just in case it is helpful to anyone...

Only the income that is above the boundary of that higher bracket is taxed at the higher rate. All of the income below the boundary is taxed at the lower rate. E.g. if you make $105k and a higher tax bracket starts at $100k, only $5k is taxed at the higher rate.
Can you clarify one thing for me. My rMBP has a AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB this means no CUDA, but OpenCL should be just fine?
From my experience with front-end dev's it's not that they don't test in Firefox but rather they only test in Chrome. I've worked with FE devs who insisted it was unreasonable to expect them to test in all the major browsers.
Amazingly, Firefox on Android is fine.

No, craigslist hasn't taken any legal action against us, perhaps because we go to significant effort through legal reviews and measures like those disclaimers to ensure that we don't infringe on their rights.
