If you want whistle-blower protections, you need to go through official channels and document document document. I am not saying the US has good protections (obviously it doesn't) - but we have to admit that Snowden isn't the model of someone that tried to go through the proper channels.
I imagine, they want people to do all their music listening on spotify, implementing scrobbling would seem counter to that goal.

This is the so-called "chilling effect" that's one of the most worrying implications of mass surveillance on a society... people feel afraid to speak out due to a concern they may be added to a list of some sort, and face negative real-life repercussions due to expressing their free speech.

There were a couple of times where I actually called the public contact numbers for NSA & GCHQ regarding particular stories about which I was especially upset, identifying myself by name and politely but firmly expressing my views. NSA told me to go away, but surprisingly the woman at GCHQ heard me out for several minutes and let me finish my rant. That's the British establishment for you I guess - they can be assholes, but polite assholes.

Snowden risked everything to inform us all of the crimes of the FVEY governments and the least we can all do is take inspiration from his actions and stand up and publicly make our views known, whatever they may be. The day people stop being willing to express their political views publicly is the day we lose something very important.

Perhaps they lost some contracts with major labels, or perhaps there is a way to probe their search API to estimate their library size.

Yes, there may be more galaxies than stars in our milky way. But almost all of them are extremely far away and we will never have a chance to interact, or even visit them. Worse, the rate they are moving away from our galaxy/local cluster is accelerating. We have a bit time to study those galaxies before they fade into the eternal redshift, but the real interesting stuff, what at least has a decent chance to matter beyond pure curiosity is what Gaia observes.

I think there's going to be an SAE combo option for the Bolt, which will mean about 90 miles range recharged in 30mins. Not as good as the Tesla supercharger, but not terrible.

The author and I both make the same, about 90th percentile income for the nation so we "deserve" 90th percentile cars, which is probably much more expensive than $40K. I mean $40K isn't even enough for a fancy pickup truck or fancy SUV.

I thank God every day that I don't live in California, so my standard of living at the same income is awesome and times are great for my entire family. All because I won't work in CA.

I know my taste is unusual (after all, I like manuals) but I like the Bolt. I like hatchbacks - I can't stand sedans. If I can put an office chair in my hatchback, and it doesn't fit in a sedan, I want the sedan.

The Model 3 is, all-around, very unusual to be a car that appears exotic, but costs much less. Of course, it's being "paid for by purchases of the Model S and Model X," which means... at some scale (i.e. 500k+) Tesla is clearly losing money on the exotic sheet metal.

On the other hand, GM is building a car they can sell, and it won't be a bad business model.

Of course, since the masses love sedans, the 3 will easily outsell the Bolt anyway... but all of this will be a turbulent footnote to a different future where electric cars are commonplace. Neither of these cars will be the most popular electric cars on the road 10 years from now.

I think the point is: his salary while not high by SF was high in nearly any other location in the US. In any other location, he and his family could live how they wanted. In any other location, have a $40,000 car instead of a $10,000 or less car is a perfectly reasonable. In any other location, eating out more than once a month would be perfectly reasonable. Having a expensive hobby racing cars is reasonable, just not in SF.

The point of the article wasn't that I am poor you should feel sad for me. The point was: look the Bay Area is so expensive that it is impossible to afford unless you are making an extremely high salary. A good salary isn't enough, a high salary isn't enough, it has to be extreme otherwise you will need to make life style sacrifices to live in the Bay Area.
I miss forums too, I used to run two medium sized ones (1million posts+) a decade ago which slowly died out with the explosion of social media. I think Google+ groups was an attempt on that concept but failed because the rest of the network was a ghost town. Some Facebook groups are very targeted and feel like forums but they miss the content persistence we had with forums e.g if I remembered something I saw a month ago on a group there's no way I can find it again.
It's a common trope, though that doesn't entirely excuse it.

The claim is technically accurate (the best kind of accurate, as a friend put it). But it also borrows off an interpretation of London as a megacity of millions of inhabitants. The simple addition of "at the time" would make the claim so much more informative and accurate.

In thinking of common vs. technical interpretations of words, there was the case of an article on HN a few weeks back titled "Igloos that don't melt". It turned out the "igloo" wouldn't melt (not without fire at any rate) ... because it was made from plastic. Someone tried defending this usage on the basis that the Inuit word "iglu" simply means "house". But the English usage, and the clear intent of the headline, convey the image of a domed structure built from blocks of carved snow.

The technique in general is a cheap shot and as you note weakens rather than strengthens an author's credibility.

General Aviation Pilot here - one thing they also leave out is the relaxation on the rules for overwater flight with 2 engines. Prior to the change, it was harder to fly oceanic routes as you had to fly way north to ensure that your nearest airport in case of engine loss was no more than X distance away. With the changes in reliability for engines, they have relaxed that rule which has made 2 engine flights (notable for US => Europe) more profitable as 2 engines flights consume way less fuel than 4 engines flights

From the HN guidelines "Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.".

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this app. If there are no nerds sitting by themselves, how will I know who to bully? /s

I think this is a step in the right direction. Using technology to break the ice, without having to risk rejection in real life will help many people cope with socializing in the lunchroom. It will really help minimize the social awkwardness of asking to sit at someone's table. Friendly people will simply be able to mark themselves as friendly and whoever needs a friend can simply join them without fear of rejection.

`await` allows the event loop/job queue to run while waiting. However, while using `import` declarations, your module will not run until all imports have completed; this means that your module will be suspended while the dependency awaits.

If your app is shipped as a single bundle this means your entry point would be unable to run anything while dependencies are awaiting if you use `import` declarations. If your app places runtime dependent imports into a dynamic import like using `import()` as a function, it would not be suspended while waiting.
That's not really true now is it. One of the most technically proficient hacks of recent times would have to be the Stuxnet attack, which is largely accepted to be the work of the US security services. this was widely covered in all media regardless of their affiliation with the US.

In addition many attacks have been attributed to China in the period you have mentioned.

It is incredibly likely that US based hackers have attacked both Russian and Chinese targets however both these governments would cover up these through control of state media to prevent what they would see as embarassment. Western media will report on hacks regardless of which government had done them if they were aware of the hack occuring.

No problems with liking your country but blindly believing everything put out by state controlled media does not have to be part of that.

Fairness is an irrelevant point of discussion here. The Fed doesn't pay reserve interest because it's fair. They pay the interest that they expect will drive desired market behavior. If fairness were the goal, they'd pay zero interest for the excess reserves that they don't require.

Inflation is also irrelevant. What matters is the spread between what they pay a depositor in interest and what the Fed will pay for holding the deposit in reserve. So long as that spread is positive, they make money just for holding your money. Can they do better by lending and increasing the spread? Sure. Do they have to in order to make money? Not really.

This is also really odd stuff to choose to nitpick out of the discussion of how money of created in the modern economy.
It's called "land enclosure". There is no common land and you must pay someone to stand anywhere.

I don't expect to exist for free given all the services the state supplies, such as healthcare, policing, roads etc. I also don't expect someone to own some land forever and derive rent from it as the workers pay taxes to build up infrastructure which augments the land value.

Example: GSK is selling Advair Diskus for $300 in the US, and the same Seretide Diskus for 30 euros in France. Because on one side, they negotiate, and on the other, the enact laws to prevent negotiations (see Medicaid).

As others have mentioned, there can be a big difference between the list price and the actual price the insurer pays. The asthma market is highly contracted with big rebates going to payers.

Second, Medicaid does negotiate. First off, Medicaid get 23.1% off of every drug, just to start with. Then they can negotiate supplemental rebates if there is a lot of competition in a therapeutic area.

When you add it all up, Medicaid pays some of the lowest costs for drugs of any payer.

I have lived exactly both the scenarios you just described.
(1) Lived in a suburb of Chennai commuting 15-20 Kms to work. It took 1 hour to get to work and 1 hour back regardless of how much I can pay for it. That's 2 hours of my life wasted every day! - All the while paying my mortgage that would last until my retirement.
(2) Now, Live in a US city. Ironically, work in a suburb, but live in Downtown 20 miles away. I spend 20 mins in commuting to work, peacefully. With my pay, I'm confident I can pay off my mortgage in under 12 years.
Now, I'm not saying this is true everywhere in the US. Living in NYC might be the extreme case, whereas living in the countryside would be cheapest. I'm trying to compare equivalent in my mind.

First step towards change and improvement is to accept the need for it. IMO.
Despite the use of bad photos to compare the two, I do agree with the sentiment of this post. The Tesla 3 is significantly better looking than any of the possible alternatives in my opinion. The Bolt is just weird looking to me. Sure a hatch back may be more practical for some, but all I need is a car to get me to and from work.
I don't know, it seems like a lot of this guy's problems are totally within his control. I sort of assume he's the only income source for his family, but also has an expensive hobby he doesn't want to give up and also wants to live a life of (somewhat) luxury.
I mean, I get it, kids and the Bay Area are expensive, but I think there are better examples of "the cost of living in the Bay Area is out of control" than a guy with a reasonably good job and an expensive hobby he doesn't want to give up.
But.These things are not a part of it.I will not call it multitasking.But an important part of my daily schedule is planning things to make sure that I avoid time where I just day dream,it could be waiting for a build process,washing clothes,cooking etc.While all these tasks are defined as "time-consuming",they basically require more efficient management(you can ask any working parent,they will be able to explain to you important time management becomes). So adults seem busy because they are doing more than one thing simultaneously(not to be mistaken with multitasking).
I wonder why they couldn't be honest with you? What bad things would happen if they simply told you "we're only able to pay X for this position, take it or leave it"?

The main difference is you're not getting fired or ostracized or jailed for run of the mill political views or dissidence.

There are two different aspects.

The difference you're focusing on seems to be setting what positions are acceptable, and what gets done to people who hold them them.

The similarity I was focusing on was that they're being tracked at all. And in the cases that they're not not immediately actionable, I don't draw much distinction between a bureaucrat with actuarial tables and machine learning.
That's one way of looking at it. Here's another: the fact there are kids who feel an entire school can make them feel unwelcome doesn't bode well for parents and teachers who are failing raise children to be decent people. If there are children who are bullied and ostracized at your kid's school then you are failing to teach your child to stand up to oppression and hate.

Children are learning this stuff largely by trial and error. Adults have a responsibility to point them in the right direction.
I had thought of that, but (correct me if I'm wrong) a submodule is effectively a link to an external repository.

What I'm thinking of is a link to a version of an external repository.

(It may be working like that, but I've never used it like that if so).

Actually, yes... what I would like is an explicitly versioned "submodule" or "subtree" command where I can manage the exact versions within the VCS.

Dear HN crowd,

Considering my beloved Wagon (https://www.wagonhq.com/) is about to die, I'm looking for suggestions for MySQL/PosgreSQL/Redshift DB clients and would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Im a fan of what Tesla is doing from a distance. I cant afford any Tesla that fits my needs at the moment. Im not 100% sold on their viability long term, but glad that they are in business if at least to spur the incumbents into innovation.

That said, the Chevy Bolt is not Teslas dream car. That car is ugly, awkward and poorly conceived. It may check out on the spec sheet but there is no passion or personality in that car. Tesla is at least trying to build cars that are desirable as well as efficient, and whether or not they hit the mark, you can see that they are trying to do that.

I understand there is a demographic out there that doesn't care what their car looks like, and maybe that is what they were shooting for when they designed the bolt, but that is not a car I would ever drive. The Model 3 looks upmarket enough to satisfy aesthetics as well as practicality. The Bolt looks like what it is, a frankenstein model that had its ICE powertrain swapped with an electric one. Doing that required design compromises that just don't look good. This criticism carries over to BMW with their i series as well. The i3 is ugly and poor performing, and the i8 is impractical and expensive.

Until GM/BMW/VW/FCA/Ford/ETC start with a real electric platform designed for both efficiency and driving dynamics they will never succeed. Part of me thinks they realize that electrification will largely lead to commoditization and remove a big chunk of the profits that are derived from ICE differentiation, and they don't want that.
Easy. Calling them anything else would mean "...and this was an open secret within the company." Show me a single company willing to admit to fraud at this scale.
