Unscalable, perhaps, but also battle tested by thousands of years of history. What is the alternative?

If the problem reduces to our crippled education system, what else can we do besides individual citizen engagement and education?

This is a problem that's been building up over decades. It will take at least as long to fix... if not longer, given our political disadvantage.
>only a matter of time before some company(ies) come along and take their market for good.

But folks have been saying that for years and also pointing to the open-source alternatives as done here and it has just gotten worse with CC.

For individual people, that have to retrain and use things as they wish, open source stuff works. If I proposed that sort of move at my company, I would get laughed out of the room. It's too entrenched as an "industry standard", even though every user I comes across curses various products at least a few times a day. As a desktop/application support person, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time daily helping figure people (on $3-5k workstations that can handle advanced 3D modeling) what new thing f'd up. CC being installed alongside our previous CS6 license has made this worse.

I don't think any investor would risk the money it would take to take on Photoshop/Illustrator replacements and whatever would be created would not only need to allow users to work flawlessly with those file formats but meet the baseline of tools, UI, and stability (though the latter might not be as hard). I'm not well-versed in all the possibilities out there but, like Autodesk, I think this is an extremely difficult monopoly to break.
You are right, I only mentioned bikes so as to draw a more stark contrast between the two extremes.
All of the major professional vector applications export SVG, including Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, and Sketch. As for animation and some of the more exotic filters, though, those usually have to be added by hand.
Because you seem to think that a) the user's complaint makes sense and b) the reason they don't 'fix' it is because they want to make the user pay $36/yr. Both of these are obviously inaccurate.
One thing the article doesn't touch on is the 'why'. What's the motivation behind this?

There's a, I want to say similar but its sort of not, community/town in my state called Coober Pedy where a good number of the dwellings are located almost entirely underground. Even on a 45c day, it's quite nice inside without any AC although when the lights are out the pitch black is pretty unsettling...

At least Telsa have published videos. (All videos are "pre-recorded" unless they're live, making it an odd qualifier to include and emphasize.) Has Alphabet/Waymo published any videos?

What Tesla makes is not just a press release, but a fully production car that's in the market TODAY which you can buy TODAY with all the necessary hardware already in place. All that's left is the software, which they are currently working on. Has Alphabet/Waymo got actual production cars on the market with the necessary hardware in place?

And these "pre-recorded" videos show an entire trip – from multiple camera angles – of what we're told is entirely production hardware, not a hacked-together mule loaded up with a pile of sensors on a roof rack. Is Alphabet/Waymo testing with production grade hardware built into a car at the factory?
Based on my own performance (professional and otherwise) and generally robust good health, yes, I do believe it. The fact that (nearly) everyone else believes they're above average doesn't affect the veracity of my belief.
from my understanding lidar is an improvement over cameras because you can use them even if there's no light for the cameras, as well as providing 3D data.

Ask HN: Bootstrapped US founders, who do you use for health insurance?
I'm a single founder in California, and via CoveredCA a decent health care plan (PPO) silver from Blue Of California costs $460 a month. I don't qualify for any discounts so I have to pay full individual price.

So $5,520 a year for health insurance! Ridiculously expensive. I'm looking for any other options, perhaps plans geared toward small businesses with less subsidies.
I prefer having a car - I can put my surfboard on the roof, I can put my bikes on the back. I can always have the boot / trunk full of camping and beach stuff. It's far more convenient than relying on taxis and hire cars.

Really helps when you have kids too.

The convenience of hire cars and Uber covers a limited scope.
There are a few things, the most important ones:

- Including the tenant_id in modification queries as well (e.g. UPDATE/DELETE)
- Support for specifying the current tenant as an ID (through `MultiTenant.with_id(123) { ... }`)
- Helpers for multi-column primary keys in your migrations
- Specific integration with Citus as a distributed multi-tenant data store (it'll just work without modifications)

I've considered contributing these back to acts_as_tenant, but it seemed easier to have a clean-cut, since the shared lines of code only ended up being about ~50 lines - mostly to set a default scope.
I think articles like this are what helped Trump get elected. People are tired of being told what to think. They're tired of SJWs. They're tired of the pitchforks and public shaming.

Nobody changes by bring attacked.
At this point, LIDAR is still better than other methods for sensing and localization. However, it's quite expensive still, which is why doing sensing with cameras only has been a hot research topic.

You won't get by on LIDAR alone though. You'll need cameras for stuff like identifying road lines and signage.
Yes, there was indeed a slide on D3.
What matters when talking about a language is the people who use it as a whole.

Seems like that argument has moved the goalposts from "most people" to "most people who use the language", and it's still not clear why that's an interesting barometer.

Even acknowledging that this is a thought experiment, what does the ability of J. Random Perl Hacker to grok a piece of random code from a domain and context with which he or she may not be familiar indicate? Surely a one-bit "is this readable" test has lost so much signal from the interesting criteria that it means very little!

A few simple tips to help you maximize your standing desk this year
I'll see your cherry picking and I'll raise you one:

Assuming Oreos are $2.50 a box, they work out to 840 or so calories per dollar. Russet potatoes at 50 cents a pound work out to 880 or so calories per dollar. And that's using a fairly high price for the russets - in larger bags they can be found for 20 or even 10 cents a pound. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out which of the two will leave one feeling more satiated after eating O(2000) calories thereof.
Except the potential issue is that while R to T is the worst spot according to the data, there is a route in a poorer neighbourhood, C to F, that is far worse and more deserving of improvement than R to T. And it may be hard to know in practice whether this effect is happening or not.
> It's very hard to compete with the local burger chain which is within walking distance and where you can get a burger, chips, a drink, and desert for only a few dollars.

$5 for a good McDonald's meal (fries, drink and burger).

Or spend $3 on a loaf of bread, and $5 on enough meat to make 4 sandwiches or so, and $5 for a 3lb bag of potatoes (which can be cooked rather easily: from baking, to boiling, to whatever).

Basically, the $15 equivalent of grocery store food can get you far more meals than three $5 meals from McDonalds.

----------

Eggs are also like $3 per dozen.

Also, "buying what's in season" is easy as all hell. Just buy what is on sale. Done... and done. If you don't know how to cook, lemme teach it to you.
I am unfamiliar with New Orleans' history and am confused by the article: "The Second Municipality, which the Americans controlled..." and "The First Municipality included all of the French Quarter..."

Then I read "In the First Municipality, English was the language of commerce and government; in the other two, French dominated."

Did the Second Municipality, American-controlled, have the French language dominate? Or is one of the preceding sets of statements off a bit?
Really? A Big Mac combo from McDonald's here costs around $10NZD (which is about $7USD). You might get something cheaper from a Fish 'n' Chip shop. Fancier chains like Burger Fuel are more like $15NZD for a meal.

For that $10NZD I could buy a decent amount of ingredients from the supermarket for healthy meat+veges meals at home. I guess maybe fresh produce is cheaper here since this country basically runs on agriculture.
Like the other commenters here, I really disliked amp for a variety of reason such as the bar on top and the inability to easily link the main version of the page. However, I'be come to feel that we've brought this on ourselves as Web developers by making every website incredibly bloated and only possible to use on high speed connections. I've spent the past month in thailand on a much slower connection and the only sites I can reliably use currently are text sites like hacker news and amp pages. I can have a site like reddit even take 30-40 seconds to load and more complicated sites like cnn will load part of the page and then silently fail on me.

AMP is not a great solution, but it is at least _a_ solution, when the industry was not taking steps to fix the problem themselves
This can easily depend on what you eat. Both when eating out, and eating in. As such, strawmen and assertions without data will be tough to argue against.

Specifically, I'm sure there are folks that spend more than I do. In either category. Numbers would be interesting to see, and I'm sure someone has them.
It's perfectly consistent to believe that the civil rights movement meets one's threshold for justifiable civil disobedience, while Uber's plight does not.
Living near major roads and the incidence of dementia, Parkinson's and MS
NYC has been asking for this, and Uber has been pushing back. It'll be interesting to see how this differs from what the city was asking for.
I find that without trying particularly hard or trying to find deals or optimize my shopping, cooking is slightly less expensive than eating out at cheap places. The real gain is total control over my diet and the way things are made. For instance, I feel that almost all food in restaurants is extremely over salted. It tends to be greasy, too. And the cooks are oft stingy with expensive ingredients. None of that conflict of interest when I make it for myself from scratch.
Is there evidence that Intel Inside had a margin gain for the CPU product? Although not the tone of this article, the graphics suggest the II branding campaign had so much less to do with their growth than general computing trends.[0]

To answer your Intel/TV ad question more directly: because there are a lot of people on Intel's payroll whose salary directly depend on them placing ads on TV.

I do not demand you see my perspective, not even sure that's how I see it. But really, how do we know that Intel's branding campaign was valuable to them? It seems obvious, but if it's super obvious, it should be easy to explain.

I'm glad they fixed this. It has been driving me insane.

I also wonder in general when they have canonical links set up what the statistics will look like on interactions with them. I understand what AMP is trying to achieve with site performances, and its great for some mediums specifically the simple reading of news, but it's dummying down the internet. Personally I hope that people get bored of the AMP experience and click to the more feature rich website experience(that obviously don't have terrible site performance).
I love the functional aspects of Python. It's nice to break the monotony of loops every once and while.
It costs more to employ C/C++ developers than Javascript/HTML/CSS developers, so people are not going to recreate everything with bespoke C/C++.
Agreed, I was meaning only in terms of direct purchase cost but the value of time spent is a worthwhile factor to consider.
My reasoning is simple (and I am open to it being wrong): there are two possible futures. One in which you have children and one in which you don't. The future in which you have children has people in it that do not (and can not) exist in the other future. Which of these two futures happens is solely at your discretion. Thus, my thinking goes, if you choose not to have children, you are denying them the life they would otherwise have.

This is not a legal argument. Unborn people do not have rights. Nor do I think choosing not to have children is equivalent to murder or anything like that. Nonetheless, this is a moral issue I think is worth considering.

Furthermore, though my view may seem outlandish, I think most reasonable people engage in similar reasoning about the wellbeing of unborn people. For instance: Do you think it's important to leave the Earth a decent place for future generations of humans? If so, why? After all, those future humans don't exist yet.
Look into Direct Primary Care. If it is available in your area, it is an ACA compliant option when paired with a health savings account or high deductible coverage.

Argument is that Tesla has more representative / real world data.

Big public opinion perspective here too.
Any cars that have "automatic lane holding" could definitely be told to swerve left. Granted, steer-by-wire systems like that aren't quite pervasive yet. I believe electronically controlled throttle or brakes are more common. Locking individual brakes especially could quickly lead to a very bad situation. Also, putting the car in neutral or removing the key is likely not something that is going to occur to most people in the 1st half second or so that all this is happening.
Luckily the process scales horizontally quite well. Also see e.g. Genghis Khan.

dealing with `id="Layer1"` is annoying, but trivial. The endless nested `<g>` elements can be deleted. I've heard it's gotten better (I've neglected to ask for an update from CS6 for the past 2 years.

> I'm pointing out that if djsumdog's argument is valid, it applies equally well to the civil rights movement.

The value of an argument is not a pure function of its syntactic structure but also the specific details of the argument. Context matters. Intent even matters.

The details, context and intent so far suggest that you care more about being right on the Internet than about human beings' welfare.

I dunno. I love the functional parts of Groovy. But with Python I generally only break out the functional stuff when it's a choice between one unreadable line of code with a comment or else six unreadable lines of code. (E.g. when parsing an API response with weird and arbitrary nesting.)

I was thinking of the summer stunner meals from Burger King in NZ which is $5 for a burger, a sundae, fries, and all you can drink, McDonalds also has the loose change range.

But really the cheapest meal if you have no money and need to fill the stomach of your family is a $2 scoop of chips from the local fish and chips shop, every suburb has them and not every suburb has a supermarket.

Here, in NZ, some food is actually ridiculously expensive compared to overseas so I can only think the economics are even worse elsewhere.

The point that people seem to be missing is that food is only cheaper if you can get to a large supermarket, which many poor people cannot. They have a choice between convenience stores / mini marts and fast food.
Cool man. GW2 was a source of ideas for me for like 3 years. Every time I went to implement something though I very quickly ran into API limitations. At the time -- maybe it's changed -- they basically just expose the big .dat file that makes up the majority of the client size. So however that data is stored on disk is how it's exposed.

Anyhoo, this looks cool and is pretty snappy!
"Comparison is the thief of joy" - Theodore Roosevelt.
Yes, but you have to have access to a supermarket for that to work and buy in (relative) bulk. A lot of the poor only have access to convenience stores and mini marts which makes the equation quite different.

The cheapest way to cook would be to buy whatever meats on special, a bag of frozen vegetables, some rice, and some sort of sauce, it won't be particularly nice but it would be fairly nutritious and only cost a few dollars.
Cultural marxist straw feminists ruining modern civilization, oh no!
What was really surprising is that there's sugar in every single deli meat. Even beef has sugar in it.

It's still cheaper than an equivalent amount of beef jerky though. Speaking of jerky, I've noticed that cheaper brands are actually pork jerky.

See my reply to Broken_Hippo's sibling comment.

> And it's an argument that can easily be extended forever. How many children do you have? Oh, N? Why not N+1? How dare you deny life to that child?

Yeah, I know. Like all matters related to raising children, you simply do your best.
Oreos can be eaten straight out of the bag, while Russet potatoes require some level of cooking and preparation (especially if you want them to be as palatable).

I agree, we make virtually everything from scratch. And it is cheaper and healthier, also if you cook lots at once and freeze things then it doesn't take much time out of your day.
If it really is super retina resolution, it can also be used in a manner which simulates a (much) higher colour depth.

Although given the fact that it already covers the entire colour gamut of several different specifications, that probably won't be too useful.

I imagine you could also use it to simulate HDR - but I'd suspect that sources capable of pushing 8K already support it.

All in all, not much point to this comment.
That's not what's being done here. We're talking about defunding and banning anyone who has "offensive" opinions.

Which is distinctly not limited to attacking feminism. Commenting on the Turkish prime ministers' family oil industry enterprises, for instance, got people banned from things like twitter. Various political actors got banned. Twitter has in fact threatened to ban a presidential candidate. Yes, it was Donald Trump, yes I may even understand why. It is still a bridge too far. Now we're talking about firms refusing to work with one another based on political differences. Is that REALLY the society we want to become ?

Besides, this is discrimination. There was a time, not that long ago, that everybody was clamoring against that. According to the Geneva convention definition, what you're suggesting is definitely discrimination.
It will very wildly city to city, state to state, country to country, and also season to season. Whereas fast food tends to be reasonably standard.

Perhaps if the tech is good enough for now, it will become somewhat widespread, and then force a de-facto redesign of the traffic "API." E.g. maybe lights will have hidden IR identification beacons intended for self driving cars. Maybe traffic police will have special manual beacons that work on those cars while directing traffic, etc.

Trump got elected. Imagine if the US government threatened to refuse to work with anyone who's got "inaccurate" news, according to the republican definition of the word.

More generally, the definition of acceptable opinion will shift to something you will find unacceptable, and this system will still be in place.

Note: before you say that'd be illegal, I'd like to remind you that the republicans control Congress, the Senate and the presidency, and soon the Supreme Court and the Fed. Illegal actions for the republicans is effectively only things that violate the constitution, and only when so judged by republican judges.
I both agree and disagree with you. A popular news treatment doesn't have to have supplied all of the data. However, it is free to link or directly reference the data. And a large part of the problem in many reporting places is that the data wasn't actually there.

So, I agree we can't hold everyone to a super high standard of "show me the data!" However, I do think we should be moving further in that direction.

Anecdotally, in this field it is especially important. Parents get enough crap as it is. Most of it completely unsubstantiated. So, please, less of that crap. If there is advice that can help. Give it and the circumstances that it could help in. If there is a new line that people are investigating, discuss it. But don't over reach on what is capable. Present hypotheses as falsifiable assertions that people are researching. Not as assertions that are merely waiting to be validated.
