Ha ha good catch. I tried to think of a witty explanation but kept laughing. Thanks!
No joke, it became enough of an issue for me that I ended up switching to DuckDuckGo on mobile. It's been around 3 months now.

Google really really really needs to fix amp links.

Ask HN: How do you prevent downtime from dev machine problems?
So here I sit, with my computer in the shop for some (not-entirely-essential) repairs, and hoping I'll get my computer back in time to get a good workday in tomorrow. Which gets me to thinking about how to deal with situations like this in the future.

I could keep a second computer lying around, with separate SSH keys for login to all the relevant servers, but that feels a but risky in terms of security. Maybe better, I could keep one around with an identical hardware setup to my primary machine, so I can just swap out the hard drive when a non-storage device on one fails.

What are some other strategies? What's your preferred trade-off between convenience and security?
Just want to call out that Tesla's videos seem to be a bit misleading. If you watch them closely, you can see they've made edits when switching from one camera angle to another. If you know the roads they are driving on, you can see the distances of road that they cut out. So even though they seem to be doing great, they have to actually demonstrated a fully self driving capability. Google let reporters test drive a car with no steering wheel or brake.
Gotta spend all that DOD money somehow.
And another one (that captures the dynamics of Braess) is "undercharging for fish makes fish harder to obtain" (because it causes existing suppliers and sources to run out sooner).

That's analogous because, in a Braess situation, the new route appears more attractive to drivers individually (just as underpriced fish does), but their usage of said route will disproportionately exhaust the network's capacity.

And in both cases, there's a kind of "tragedy of the commons" dynamic.
Is the MMORPG Dying?
And most probably have a more nuanced and sophisticated view of the issue beyond such finger painted sketches.

It if really is flagged as "politics" that would be a shame and would certainly reflect badly on y-combniator given the founders broadcast of their views on the matter.

The whole concept of "flagged as politics" is actually absurd in this forum.

I wonder if what you say is true and how one would find out.

That network connection is using cellular, so at most it's an LTE connection but if I remember right, is actually just 3G. I can't believe they are pushing the kind of data people are talking about over that kind of connection.
I did a longer write up previously and people largely nitpicked irrellevant details. What would constitute substance in your opinion? The insane health insurance prices in the US are a real problem for many people. This is a growing alternative that works.

> you can use paypal [to] store EUR or USD [from yuan]

How would you do this?

If it is possible to exchange yuan to usd and keep it in paypal without a US account, I would still be very uncomfortable storing hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. It is a centralized entity that can freeze funds for any reason, be compelled to report things, make mistakes, paper trail, etc.

Being able to exchange currencies is also a step above regular banking I believe. You need access to forex markets and the associated setup and trails.
What browser are you using? You see results marked as AMP when searching from desktop?
As someone else said, Google shares something similar with cities via the Waze Connected Citizen Program[0][1]. Waze publishes a list of cities that participate here[2].

I think Google can't share the traffic data it shows users as it's probably an aggregation of multiple sources, and they probably don't have the rights give away that information. The Waze CCP is an opt-in service on Waze where people can share their information and input with cities.

EPR doesn't rule out a non-local hidden variables theory, e.g. pilot wave theory. Ontologically, non-local hidden variables is the only workable solution, since otherwise the universe would need uncountably infinite computing power to advance each instant. With non-local hidden variables, our universe can be advanced with finite (though mind-blowingly large) computing resources (whether an actual computer or just a system that naturally computes).
Games of Future Past – end of year reviews
My friend got a Samsung UN40KU6290 4K 40" TV as a monitor for around $250 during the holiday sales, and I think it's an absolute steal even at the regular price of $300. It does chroma 4:4:4, has best of class input lag, and the picture quality is decent too. But most importantly, you get the resolution of 4 1080P monitors for the price of 2, and the size is large enough to comfortably make use of all the desktop real estate without having to mess with scaling.

It really baffles me how they can afford to sell it at that price.
The thing about AMP is that it takes work. You cannot just install an AMP plugin and expect your existing website to suddenly serve AMP.

However, with certain CMS's, that's exactly how things are marketed. So what we're seeing is people go off and buy themes or whatever to make their website look the way they want, then they install some plugin and say "done". And then they are taken by surprise when, on mobile, their site either doesn't load at all, or looks nothing like the "premium theme" they paid for.

FWIW, I'm glad I moved my blog to AMP. I feel like it loads pretty well instantly on and I feel somewhat future proofed.

Would I encourage a less technical user to go through this? Not really.

Also, I wish Google would work better with integrating their own tooling. Getting lower scores on Google Pagespeed after enabling AMP because of the AMP CDN configuration is somewhat absurd.
Ask HN: Any Boilerplate app with Components?
Are there any projects that let you start with boilerplate app code and just check boxes to add additional functionality?

For example, if I start with a react project, I could choose to automatically add in authentication support either through open source or from an online service.

Yes it's not long to wire this up, but there are 50 more features an app might need. It could be the difference between a couple minutes and a couple of days of work.
How do you collect information?
Apparently this a common practice, then. In the aviation case the problem seems to be that critical avionics components like fly-by-wire control systems are real-time systems in which correct behavior depends not only on hardware interfaces but also temporal properties like response time. Upgrading to new hardware would potentially break the software in difficult-to-predict ways.
You need both visible cameras and LIDAR (and RADAR) currently.

Cameras give you rich intensity information: you can easily identify road markings, signs, etc provided the scene is well illuminated. Depth from stereo is OK, but struggles if the scene is featureless. Cameras perform about as well as your eyes in inclement weather. The idea that cameras don't work at night isn't entirely true, because your car should have headlights.

LIDAR is used for robust distance measurement. You can make spot measurements on pretty much any non-specular (shiny) surface. It's active so it works without external illumination (so you get 360 3D vision at night, not just where your lights point), it's accurate enough for driving (cm-level at 10s of metres) and by paralleling sensors you can get realtime performance. The Velodyne system uses 64 rx/tx pairs for ~1mpt/s. In practice you get around 20k LIDAR points per camera image because those 1 million points are spread over a hemisphere and your camera is imaging at 30 or 60 fps.
How should I choose between for-profit and non-profit? Most people think non-profit companies don't ever work. Why does YC disagree?
Yes, looks like it includes all forms of income - capital gains, dividends, etc. However, it is using the MAGI so you could potentially use a solo 401(k) to defer income and get under that threshold.

The question then of course is: why is the non-AMP version of your blog slower, and could you have improved that with the same effort? Or is it just that people coming there via Google get Googles CDN which is faster?
Looks like a MacBook Pro 2015 or earlier can drive the 5K at full resolution at 60Hz by using both Thunderbolt ports? If so, that's pretty good.

(Every time I get a mail like this from some trendy tech firm, I die a little inside, but somewhere in the past year or two I think they all read the same book and now they're all doing it.)
The standard here is to judge each article on its own merit, and this is a good piece, certainly above the median. The title is beyond stupid, but reporters don't write those. We changed it to a representative phrase from the text, as usual with baity titles.

On the paywall thing please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989.
If the probability that a person is "in on it" is P, then the probability that N people are "in on it" is P^N, which converges to 0 as N goes to infinity. For every library you use, all of the independent people providing feedback, reviews, stars, etc. would also have to be "in on the" conspiracy.

You realize that the open-source code you use has hundreds of stars on GitHub, tons of independent people providing edge case and bug feedback. For all of those people to be bad actors is unlikely. If something was malicious about it, that information would spread through the web like wildfire, and you would know about it.

This is why people are reluctant to use libraries which are not well-known or have very little usage feedback. If you do use these libraries, you will probably read the source code first.
I think the "flagged as politics", though it does happen (in particular during and around the "Political Detox Week" experiment) is more a misnomer in general. Submissions are sometimes flagged because members think the resulting discussion will likely produce much more heat than light.

Given the number of comments, in this case I think the discussion may have triggered the "overheated discussion detector" algorithm, which will move a submission down.
After reading both articles I didn't really understand what direct primary care is, how it works, why it would have lower cost than the current model, and how it relates to Obamacare.
VC++ 2015 (the latest released version as of this writing) can't optimize this for any number of arguments, even just one.

Why the hell for-profit companies are tasked to set up the tests? This will invariably cause disasters like this. As the article says, first they will chose only the cheapest material available. Next, they will chose cheapest employees they can possibly get by to write the tests. They might even outsource whole thing to "reduce costs". For-profits may possibly work only when end goal is well measurable, system can't be rigged and monopolies are viciously squashed. This almost never happens in education (and prison management) because of layers of bureaucracies. The problem here is not standardized tests but the fact that test creation is outsourced to for-profits. Once a for-profit gets in to driving seat they will do everything possible to make sure they can't be driven out. They have already made requirements that their test questions are "copyrighted" and can't be published or even examined by 3rd parties and on so on. In other countries, they usually have committees of senior teachers who then sets up tests with mutual agreement for token extra pay. Why do you need for-profit for setting tests?
I should probably stay out of a discussion like this, but I once worked as a teaching assistant in a Japanese high school. Some of my students were studying for university entrance exams and the English sections were ridiculous. As a native speaker, I was not able to read everything in the time allowed. It became very clear to me that the test makers were not interested in whether or not the students could read English. They were interested in whether or not the students were clever enough to find the correct answers without reading the English.

So I taught them how to do it.

Now, the questions I often ask myself is - Would it have been better to let my students fail the entrance exam, knowing that English would not be required in their major? Keeping that in mind, was it wrong for the test writer to write a test that favoured clever application of technique over English knowledge? What were they selecting for and what was the best way to determine it? Why is English even on the entrance exam?

Similarly, why would anyone have a test about poetry on a standardised exam if their intent was not simply to discover how well the students could jump through hoops?
Beside LIDAR, A/Google adds a radar now too.

I wonder if more and more vehicles have now a radar, isn't it unhealthy to be exposed to so many radar on the road? I mean it's well known that military grade radar can be very unhealthy. I would have assumed that LIDAR plus cameras plus ultrasonic would be enough.
95% of the Uber drivers I talk to love driving for Uber.
That particular simpletax calculator is weirdly broken -- it seems to ignore payroll taxes. (I say weirdly, because simpletax usually doesn't bungle things like that.) Once you include CPP (Canada's version of Social Security) and Employment Insurance (benefits for unemployed people, but not remotely resembling insurance despite the name), someone earning $50k in BC pays just over $10k... plus another $900/month (more if you're not single) of mandatory tax-but-not-called-a-tax government medical premiums.

So for your hypothetical $50k/year worker, the tax burdens are pretty similar; BC+Canada sales taxes come to 12% which I believe is a bit higher than California's sales taxes, but of course the BC resident has government medical coverage.

Two important caveats however:

1. Depending on your income, BC is the lowest-tax or very close to the lowest-tax jurisdiction in Canada. Someone earning $50k in Quebec would pay around $13k of income taxes instead of $10k.

2. Salaries in Canada are vastly lower than San Francisco / Silicon Valley salaries.
Just a big caveat for slide #36:

> SVG text is fully accessible, searchable, selectable and 100% semantic.

Only if you don't convert the text to paths, which is really really common in the wild because someone wants a specific font or text positioning. Supposedly you can create invisible text for that purpose but I've only seen it once in a real SVG.

My specific gripes around AMP as an iPhone user:

1. Scrolling momentum is very different, making it feel non-native

2. The URL bar doesn't hide normally. Scroll down in portrait mode and it doesn't hide.

3. The URL bar doesn't un-hide normally. Switch to landscape mode and scroll up, the URL bar does not reveal itself.

4. Safari Reader mode often doesn't work.

5. Scrolling before the page is done loading can make it look like there's less content then there actually is.

6. Some dynamic sites misbehave (e.g. reddit does not show me as logged in).

7. Copying the URL results in some Google thing instead of the real URL

8. Relationship between AMP X close button and Back button is confusing

I am curious which of these you experience, which you don't notice, and which you don't experience at all if you are an Android user?
And this is why I dislike AMP. Instead of doing the right thing and rewarding good sites, Google instead is using the opportunity to push everyone into their ecosystem. The better solution is to encourages sites to think about their design and reward them accordingly.
You compared 50k nominal CAD and USD, rather than the same after exchange rate. Googling "50000 usd in cad" gives me $66,280 CAD; plugging that into your first link gives me an after-tax income of $53,317 CAD, which is $40,225 USD, a lot closer to the $38,888 Californian after-tax income.

More importantly, besides VAT (actually called GST in Canada) there's all the employer-side taxes that aren't advertised in a job posting. Try using the self-employment box in your Canadian calculator; for $66,820 CAD in self-employed income in BC, you end up with $48,229 CAD after tax, or only $36,378 USD on $50,000 USD.

That's not really fair or useful either, because the same situation will have all kinds of tax implications in CA as well. My point is more than simply looking at "this is what income tax is in jurisdiction A vs jurisdiction B" is not necessarily reflective of what the tax burden's actually like.

Ask HN: Is there a need for a generalized recommendation engine service, that:
- Required no data training or upload

- Worked with any topic or domain

- Can be integrated with any site or app at any point without planning

- Had a dead-simple api: rate(), getRecommendations()

There doesn't seem to be any live service with these properties and ease of use, yet almost every site could benefit from it.
All I can say is that every time I drive through Mountain View, I am followed by or following or passing one of their self drivers, either the Lexus SUV or one of those little Logan's Run vehicles [0].

They get out of Mountain View, too. There was one stretch where a Google autonomous SUV was making the same left turn in Fremont at the same time 3 days straight. We saw it when I drove the kids to school.

In my view, Google/Waymo has the most experience and most miles of true autonomy, but I expect they're suffering from the same conflicted management syndrome that scuttled the rest of their robotics efforts. Alas.

The problem that AMP is trying to solve is definitely real. But pushing sites to add another layer on their system is the wrong way to do it, IMO. Why don't they just start rewarding systems that load fast, instead of pushing people into another google system?
I didn't know about the automatic brightness issue with OLEDs, it looks pretty annoying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqx_9P645wY

Why do they have to use it? I know OLEDs have burn-in problems but I don't see how this would help with that, it looks more like an energy saving thing.
The easy answer is that AMP forces you to do things like always declaring image height and width. And yes I could do that without AMP, but the moment you're not forced to do something, the path of least resistance is to not bother.

I certainly never would never have bothered setting up a build process to inline CSS previously.
Having every driver take the shortest path for them is not the same thing as minimizing total transit time for all drivers. Similarly with some of the other tragedy-of-the-commons situations, having each fisher maximize the number of fish they catch is not the same thing as maximizing the total number of fish caught by all fishers.
While you're at it, why not add "straight links" to normal Google results so they can be copied as well? The current situation having everything be a Google referral link is a pain in the neck and users go out of their way to avoid copying those.
F.B.I. Arrests Volkswagen Executive on Conspiracy Charges in Emissions Scandal
All car leasing schemes are expensive in the long run, this one seems to fall in the middle ground - less upfront costs than most, more expensive ongoing. But the cost and repayment method is all quite clear, anyone with a few minutes and a calculator can work out if this is a financially sound option for them.

If you can't understand what you're signing then you shouldn't be signing it, very simple really. For some people this leasing scheme would be fine, for other's it could lead to financial trouble - Uber doesn't have to work that out for people.

Not sure where pay day loans come into this? Uber has some kind of once off upfront pay advance incentive thing, but there's no interest and the terms are something quite generous like 15 weeks so it's not even remotely like a pay day loan.
cut only supports single ASCII characters as delimiters.

Reading a value from "<td>2017-01-09 <b>08:30</b></td>" is harder than it should be.

cut needs single-character delimiters, so only splitting on "<" or ">" won't work.

sed trips up on the "/", ":", and "-" without proper escaping.

This is before even mentioning Unicode. High-level scripting languages handle all of these just fine. I'd much rather have a standard tool and library for this purpose though.
