I'm not sure where the market efficiency will lead us in this case. I personally am happy to pay ~20% more to fly with a non-US carrier. However, they are making that really hard. First off availability is an issue. How many different fights leave from SFO to Tokyo Haneda (I don't like Narita) on a Friday morning? Then you have these alliances where you book one airline and it gets swapped out for a different carrier. I've in the past booked a particular flight because it was operated by Air Canada and they switched it to United(?). We were flying via Canada to avoid this and still it happened. The market is not as perfect as buying soda off a shelf. I believe that if it was ahs foreign carriers were showed domestically US carriers might be in big trouble. But maybe I underestimate how much price matters to most people.
My (not well studied) understanding is that all of the beams are important on this style of bridge.

That's sort of the other way of looking at the problem. The bridge isn't overbuilt enough.
> It's very, very gratifying to see something real, that you can hold in your hands, work. Doubly so when people actually use your stuff and tell you how much they love it. (Yay, consumer electronics!)

This is why I quit my software job and started to study EE. I'm currently waiting to get my PCB back from Oshpark. It does worry me a bit that some people here describe their EE job as more boring and frustrating than software development.
Regardless of whether you're expressing a pro or anti-government opinion, on Hacker News comments need to be civil and substantive—you have to actually say something meaningful with basis in reality. It's the genericness that's at issue here because it poisons the spirit of intellectual curiosity that is the basis for this site. We're all here to learn something, so we ask that comments say something.
The way I see it, critical thinking has a social aspect because an individual has to communicate those thoughts, or else how would we know they're critically thinking?
"We're probably getting very different "value adds" from Windows vs Linux."

This. The spectrum of computer uses is so wide that the only obviously wrong statement is to claim a specific system will undoubtedly fit all users needs.

I am personally responsible for several small DLL C++ projects at work and have visual studio solutions open to them all of the time so start up time is not something I care about.

So, for me the OS mostly fades into the background. Grepping through filedirectories is essential for my work. Windows vanilla tools generally suck for this but one fixes that by using a third party exe - in this instance, AgentRansack.

I agree, I would much rather use bash and posix tools for the sort of problems that those are used than what is available on vanilla windows.
An idea came to my mind when I was selected for Apple WWDC.
There wasn't a platform to find who else are attending WWDC event.

Connect is an Online platform to meet other attendees before the event -

We build this platform keeping following in mind -

- To share accommodation

- Airport Cab sharing

- A trip/ Sightseeing new city

- Or Business Networking
You'd think all those politicians campaigning for it would have worked out these details in advance. Too bad politicians actually doing their jobs doesn't seem to be in fashion these days.
It would be insane to go into such a humourless environment where every conversation feels like treading on eggshells.
I don't see why it is ironic, really: areas of low immigration can see what happens to areas of high immigration, so will vote against it, whereas for areas with high immigration it is too late
Yeps, as I said, I felt that I was doing less design and more system integration or "lego building". Besides, I had been doing that for many years and I thought a change was due. From my description it may seem that FPGA is monotonous... that was not my intention at all. For me, FPGA design is much more challenging and fun than board design never was. The downside of FPGA design is that human contact is much more limited.

You cannot really receive answers for your questions, because most of these things are subjective. You have to make your own way and make your own experience. Experience, after all, is the comb you get when you have no more hair ^^

It will definitely help but it also increases the cost of adding support if that means porting an existing code base and having to maintain it. It'll be interesting to see whether projects start migrating wholesale so that's not just a Mozilla effort.
Not one of my finest but it is a view leaning out the driver's window and looking up and back at the top front left corner of the trailer, with the (very dark) bridge girders looking like they are resting on the trailer. There's about an inch of clearance and I am just coming out from under the bridge, nearly to the edge, with most of the trailer yet to pass under. Very difficult to see though, I really needed more flash but I was concentrating on other things and holding up traffic.
> A key reason Nissan expanded operations in the UK was for access to the European market. One has to wonder what people in Sunderland were thinking when they voted.

I can't read their minds any more than you can, but maybe they prioritize sovereignty or their idea of the UK over money. It sometimes disturbs me how everything has to be reduced to an economic decision. You need money to live, sure, but there's more to life than money.

And besides that, what I'm reading from Krugman and other economists is that the economic consequences being published in the press are dramatically overblown.
This was actually easiest for me during the end of the dumbphone era. All the devices around then had Bluetooth and supported the Object Push Profile, and there wasn't yet any DRM implemented on sending stuff like MP3 files. It was slow but worked.

Then Apple killed Bluetooth by never supporting it well on the iPhone, and then implemented their proprietary AirDrop (which is actually LESS reliable for me, between Apple devices(!), than Bluetooth OPP was)

Right, so you'd need a lot of sacrificial beams if you wanted to defend against lane changes in the middle of the bridge. Probably easier to add structural redundancy instead.
I see Kuhn as much less dangerous than Popper.
I find it a real stretch to construe Crockford's use of the word “promiscuous” as a pejorative. Given the context, his usage of the word was apt and descriptive (promiscuous does not necessarily refer to sexuality) without negative connotations; he actually made the opposite case: “that's good because that allows us to get introduced to things”.
When would that be the case? When you have another job on the side? How is that your employer's business?

But "the single market" implies the free movement of goods and people. If the electorate voted Leave because of immigration, doesn't that mean what they wanted was to leave the single market?

I can't see how you can limit migration and allow free movement of people?
I disagree that I'm being disingenuous but I could be a moron. Are you disputing the claim that congressional Democrats initiated the tough-on-crime laws that are responsible to this day for harsh mandatory minimums for low-level drug crimes? The piece I linked to is from 1999 and it refers to bills initiated by Democrats in the 80s which are still largely in effect today, and for which we can plausibly argue a correlation with a 700% increase in the prison population and Bureau of Prisons's budget [0].

I agree Democrats are pushing for reform today (and some sentencing reform was passed when they controlled Congress in 2010). Republicans [1] and conservative think-tanks [2] today are also actively fighting for sentencing reform. Tt's one of the few issues that are bi-partisan today. You can make a judgment based on how you've ascertained the composition of political cockwalking, but in the end, it's the actual laws that get passed that put people in prison.

Many governments (state and local) are required to publish the salaries of THEIR employees. They cannot pass laws (here in the US) to require the same from employees in the private sector, but they can for public employees.
Maybe for the Amazon model they could issue a (public- that you keep private) key that allows you to challenge a request for proof of purchase. In other words, if you want a refund you show that you have this digital receipt.

Well, the EU either has or is negotiating trade deals with 30+ Commonwealth countries...

It may not be in the EU's interest to give a good deal, but it is definitely in Europes interest to do so.
Might be me missing something cultural here.

1. Why would you report that you earn more than you do, then you would just pay more tax than you had to?

2. Why would the employer care that you earn more in total than they pay you?
I was using your .vbox file from GitHub. I have no idea why the ALT key isn't working. I tried changing to US keyboard layout but to no avail. I'm under Linux / x11 and I don't have any hotkeys on ALT.

The speed is perhaps 1/100th of what QEMU was putting out. May be related to not having correctly set up the virtualbox modules or something?
Actually, Norway itself mentioned that their deal is worse that EU membership: the politicians would prefer to join the EU, but this is not an easy sell to the electorate, so they do not bother.
I don't know much about Russian copyright law, but at least the idea of the German copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz) is very different from the US one. Here the central concept is the "Urheberschaft" (authorship; this implies that you have to be acknowledged as author) which cannot be sold, donated, refused etc. (as opposed to in the copyright law). The only thing that can be sold are the Nutzungsrechte (rights of use), which allow to redistribute the work and make money from it. Thus in Germany there exists for example no analogue to public domain work: Since Urheberschaft cannot be donated, one simply cannot put works under public domain, see for example https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html

But I've heard the same comments enough times to make me wonder how American drivers are so bad.

Lack of testing, for starters. There was a time, going on 40 years ago, that someone observed my driving and decided whether I was safe to release upon the roads. Since then, I've taken a knowledge ("written", though it's computerized now) now and then. The last time was 16 years ago when I moved to WA. They check your vision at renewal by testing your ability to check a box that says "yeah, my eyes are fine".

Add to that a lack of enforcement. As long as you don't exceed the speed limit or have booze on your breath at a checkpoint, you might go your whole life having never been pulled over no matter how much texting you do.

Here in Seattle, which I maintain has the worst drivers in the country, my current working theory of the cause of horrific driving incompetence is self-absorption that seems to be particularly rampant here. Why else would I get regularly flipped off when the light turns green and I honk at Ms. Tweets McFacebook to put her phone down and drive?
Because you have a second job / side business / investment income that is independent of your primary job.
Apple can use bluetooth for file sharing. It's part of their 'Airdrop' feature, which uses bluetooth + wifi to move files around. (I think bt is only used to negotiate temporary wifi settings, and then the actual file exchange takes place over wifi.)

But once again, the real problem here is that Airdrop is apple-specific. We still have the same fundamental problem that despite having many direct file sharing choices, there is no common way across all the OS/hardware platforms.
Social control. When everyone is watching, not properly declaring your income is much more risky.
I need more context, perhaps some documentation or a 'blog' type article.
Coming from Sweden and being used to public tax records I was nevertheless a bit surprised at the transparency in Norway when anyone could look up anyone online anonymously. It made it extremely simple to for example create list of everyone at work or on your street (or use the data for any purpose). They later changed it in 2011 (?) such that the other person will get notified about who looked him/her up. I don't know if any other Nordic country went as far as Norway did during those years ?

There was an estimate that Norwegians spent around 250.000 work hours per year looking up each other in the tax databases.

There were also mobile apps being made when the databases were public that could for example show the richest people nearby.
This would also be the fastest way to end all privacy. What I read, what I eat and with who and also which medicine I take.

Transparency for political decisions is important as is privacy.

See my reply in another sub-thread of this sub-thread, I skimmed it, missed that, and misremembered his pointing it at civilians previously with the in my judgment credible claim that he was reaching for it from its tucked in his waistband position as the police arrived.

But that doesn't matter WRT to the topic of the article, for as I note, absent other evidence or a lack of credibility from the police officers, the decision to prosecute or convict is supposed to come down in favor of them, "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the standard.
thanks for the report, we'll fix that!

thank you for the interest
In fact, linear collisions are the same as head-on collisions. From the coordinate system of either vehicle, the other one is just getting closer and bigger. Very slowly at first, until just before impact when it gets a lot bigger a lot faster.

In the extreme angle case, suppose two vehicle are traveling on a freeway side-by-side and move together very slowly just to give each other a light tap. The forward motion relative to the ground is irrelevant; the impact is the same as, say, slowly backing into a parked car, except that it's sideways. Looking out the side window, the other car is in the same spot the whole time and just gets closer.

It works the same way from every angle, from 180 degrees (head-on collision) to near zero.
iOS only supports sending files though their proprietary AirDrop. OS X does support Bluetooth file sharing though.
I just used Sygic Travel (https://travel.sygic.com) to plan a very last-minute road trip in Iceland. I knew nothing about Iceland to begin with. I spent less than 8 hours planning the whole trip, and ~ 5 of them were in Sygic. It was great! Post-trip, I can attest that using it helped me make the most of my time in Iceland. I was well-informed during the trip (at least on par with most other travellers I met), and ended-up seeing most of the popular spots.

I think Sygic did a great job with identifying the key user stories:

1. Ability to see a list of interesting places to generate ideas (they've partnered with Fodors, the content is comprehensive, at least for Iceland)

2. Ability to set my travel dates and schedule places that I want to visit on specific days

3. Ability to see places on a map so that I can schedule more efficiently. (I was able to schedule places in different regions on different dates, and thereby minimise driving times)

4. Ability to view and order daily itineraries (list + map) and ability to estimate travel time for a given itinerary. (This helped me avoid being over ambitious and gave me plenty of room to breathe during the trip)

5. Ability to see/book hotels on a map that have availability on my dates. I ended up making all my hotel reservations (4 nights) through their Booking.com integration. Never have I been happier to click on an affiliate link! The ability to visually plan your days and nights within the same interface really helps. Without this, I would have done what most last-minute travellers in Iceland do – book a hotel in Reykjavik (capital) for the entire stay and take day trips in/out. This would have severely limited my coverage of Iceland and cost more.

6. Ability to take my itinerary with me. They have a easy to use (free) mobile app with premium features e.g. offline maps. Paid for the premium features but didn't end up using them as internet worked great in Iceland!

Overall, the interface was really well done, albeit with a 3-4 hour learning curve. I found myself needlessly bouncing back and forth between ideation and scheduling.

I jotted down a few ideas while I was using it:

- Break down planning into several stages: Ideation, Scheduling, Reservations. This would allow the interface to be more streamlined and reduce cognitive complexity of planning

- Provide the ability to algorithmically cluster places into days and find shortest path for overall trip

Anyway, wish can looks great! I'd love to contribute. I'm a pretty good programmer (iOS/Web), professionally a senior product manager, and also have decent design skills. Let me know if I can help. I haven't coded for the web in a while so would prefer to team up with someone with up-to-date front-end skills.
It's very unlikely those treaties would be readily restored now. Two relevant things changed: the partners have made new treaties with other countries and now the UK needs the treaties more than their prospectie partners.
The problem is that there are lots of standards for local file sharing, and vendors all choose different standards. The answer to this problem is unlikely to be creating a new standard (insert obligatory XKCD link here)
I'm cobbling it together — I looked at what the requirements were for various universities' math degree programs and then found classes on Coursera, MIT OCW, etc., which matched those as well as possible.

I've also found QuantStart's guide[0] to be a particularly good resource, but bear in mind that is oriented toward learning quantitative finance (in which I have no particular interest per se).

Personally, (I'm less than 25) I make about 75% of my income from the company I work at, the other 25% doing odd jobs, websites, etc. That latter percentage is probably increasing every month too.

I can't imagine the company I work at being super excited I'm (for example) doing code reviews; or running a website. Technically, I don't have a clause in my contract forbidding me from doing external work, so long as I give the company 40 hours a week.

I know I am not alone. I know one co-worker makes about a half a million a year in an external business selling car parts. He just works at the company for fun essentially, since he is allowed to play with the entire companies system architecture.
This I'm going to agree with. One of the particularly odd things about the whole "social justice" craze is the desire to run everything through the legal system. It seems to be rooted in the idea that in any conflict, there must always be an authority figure to pronounce one side right and the other wrong, and there must be a visible, tangible punishment for the side deemed to be wrong, so they can be "taught a lesson" about how wrong they are. Maybe it's a lost art or not emotionally satisfying enough to just say that this person or group are being jerks and I don't want to deal with them anymore, including by trying to definitively prove to some authority figure why they are jerks.

Along those lines in this situation, I'm not really part of the Node/JS community, but I have at least heard of Crockford, and have never heard of Nodevember. It seems likely that the Nodevember people will suffer a lot more from this drama than Mr. Crockford. It seems petty and undignified to me for Crockford to start any kind of legal action, as they will probably suffer more from the lack of his presence and the drama related to this than any legal action would be likely to cause.
