I've heard that some congressmen are genuinely surprised when you bring up an issue to them that they didn't know about, because they "hadn't seen any money on it." Meaning, I think that they're used to getting donations and the donors having something to say. Thus, I think donations might be the most effective, though costly way to talk to congress

> The phone normally operates from its battery, the amount of ripple present from a battery is zero. I'm not sure what source exactly you want me to provide to cite the fact that a phone has a battery, anyone knows that.

I was asking for a cite on the claim that the phone has a better voltage regulation circuit. AFAIK both the RPi and phones are using jellybean switching regulator ICs to convert and regulate the voltage. Even an expensive switching regulator is going to have a hard time competing with the PI's linear regulators in terms of output noise. (The Pi, of course, can afford to waste a bit of power, whereas the phone needs to juice all of the battery capacity.)

>Also, typically a phone will use a buck converter (or perhaps buck-boost) to drop its voltage, rather than a switching regulator.

Erm, a buck converter is a kind of switching regulator (one that drops rather than increases the voltage). See for example the buck/boost/etc. options under 'Topology' in Mouser's switching regulator category, or the Wikipedia definition:

http://www.mouser.co.uk/search/refine.aspx?N=10368713

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_converter

>Some phones do have problems operating while plugged into crappy adapters (the power does pass through), the most common being that the touchscreens stop working.

This undermines your point that phones somehow have better voltage regulation circuitry than the RPi. Many that will run directly off USB power have exactly the same issues.

>Good on them for finally doing it, but it should be included with the device, and should have been included from day 1.

But why are you still advising people not to buy the Pi because of power supply issues? I bought my first Pi a few months ago and made sure to get an adequate power supply (not difficult). I haven't had any problems.
I upvoted you because I don't understand the benefit of quant funds either.

With short selling, derivatives and high frequency trading, I can at least see the argument for increased liquidity and so forth... But how does society benefit when leading AI research minds spend their time building gambling models that try to predict the sentiment of other gamblers?

At the same time, I recognize that forcing any such social logic onto research is a slippery slope towards Soviet-style government-stunted research. So I guess I'll rather have machines gambling trillions of dollars.

Via in Chicago seems to be the Southwest of ride sharing.

Via is like Uber Pool, but more direct. While waiting, you only have less than a minute to hop in the car. Also the car only goes down major thoroughfares and moves only forward while in the car.

This has the effect of lowering cost per mile because the biggest input cost (labor) is reduced.

To me Via is more of a private, optimized bus system and an example of what Uber Pool could have been. Where I am Uber Pool is so hit or miss (really awesome because no one else gets in or awful because we crossed a major traffic intersection and have to back track two busy blocks to pick up a new passenger) that I avoid it.

Work with RedHat and let them issue a correction; HN seems like hardly the forum to be calling this out in such a manner. The fact that you even made the "bully" post leads me to believe that Docker views RedHat as a threat and their post promoting SELinux as an affront to Docker. I'd wager it didn't appear that way to the many individuals that understand both the benefits of systems like SELinux and AppArmour, as well as the difficulty in promoting them. Very interesting at the least; one could read a lot into that.

Honestly, Docker stepped in it here. This appears to be a theme, and with your posts in particular. I personally can't think of another project that causes more drama on HN.

I would like to try Ubuntu Phone but I cannot find it anywhere.

Canonical's page says that all devices are out of stock, various online stores say exactly the same thing, and all the devices that are listed as compatibile (Nexus 5 for instance) are two generations old and also hard to come by.

The only option I haven't tried is buying used phone on eBay, because they usually come in pretty bad shape so I want brand new device.

Please Canonical, get your shit together and release SOMETHING, pretty much any device with 4.5 inch screen 2GB RAM and 32GB flash will do.

> Content is King...

Indeed it is. The dilemma is that as soon as the BBC opens itself up to subscription, the pressure to shrink or abolish the license fee will grow. But once the license fee shrinks or is abandoned, much of the content that is not commercially viable is unlikely to be produced. That means there will probably still be a Planet Earth II, but probably not more broadcasts of the annual Royal Institution Science lectures [1]

It's also easy to forget that the BBC does much more than TV. They have national, local and international radio services (World Service), they fund numerous orchestras around the UK. They fund the BBC Proms - the world's largest classical music festival. They provide live coverage of music festivals in the UK like Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds. They promote new up-and-coming music artists through their annual BBC Sound of 2017 [2].

They provide ad-free children's programming (Cbeebies and CBBC). They have large educational output online for school students (bitesize). Initiatives like the recent micro:bit programmable computer are perhaps not what you would expect from a public service broadcaster, but only the BBC would consider or pull it off.

And just so I don't sound too effusive about the BBC, amongst all the above there is of course an awful lot of dreck. Still, losing the license fee would mean losing a lot of good things too.

Because events that have a spacelike separation -- that is, they are close enough together in time and far enough apart in space that even travelling at the speed of light you couldn't be present at both -- have no absolute order. Depending on your frame of reference -- how fast you're travelling and in what direction -- you might see two such events (let's call them A and B) as simultaneous, as A happening before B, or as B happening before A.

This is commonly illustrated with the following scenario. Imagine Alice is sitting by the train tracks. Her friend Bob comes past riding on top of a train, sitting exactly in the middle of the car's roof. As he passes Alice, they high-five (presumably Alice is on a raised platform of some sort). A split second later, Alice sees lightning strike each end of Bob's carriage at exactly the same moment. Thanks to some very precise measuring equipment, Alice is able to determine that the two lightning strikes occurred at the very moment that she high-fived Bob. At that point, Alice was exactly halfway between the two points that were struck, so it makes sense that the light from those strikes reaches her at exactly the same time.

Alice also knows that Bob would have seen lightning strike the front of the car before it struck the back of it: the light from the front strike would have passed Bob on its way to Alice, and the light from the rear strike would have passed Alice on its way to Bob.

Now let's look at it from Bob's view. As Alice concluded, he sees the lightning strike the front of the car first. But (a) he's exactly the same distance between the two strike-points, and (b) the speed of light is always the same for any observer. So if he sees the light from the strike at the front first, that means the front was struck first. Bob has a different order of events from Alice.

Which order is the "right" one? Answer: both. Or, if you prefer, neither. There are no grounds to prefer Alice's view over Bob's, or vice versa. You cannot say that one lightning strike "really" happened first, or that they "really" happened simultaneously.

To complete the picture, let's imagine Charlie riding another train car on the set of tracks the other side of Bob's, travelling in the opposite direction to Bob. At the exact moment Alice is high-fiving Bob, Charlie is also exactly lined up with them and smacks Bob on the back of the head. For reasons similar to but opposite to Bob, Charlie will first see lightning strike the rear of Bob's car and then the front, which means that in his (equally valid) frame of reference, the rear strike happened first.

Now imagine someone or something used FTL travel to go from the front of Bob's car to the rear, leaving at the moment the front was struck by lightning and arriving at the moment the rear was struck. In Bob's frame, this would be unremarkable, except for the exceptional speed (ignoring for the moment any adverse environmental effects -- Google "what-if xkcd relativistic baseball" for a flavour of what those might be). But in Charlie's frame, this would be travel backwards in time, as the arrival at the rear would occur before the departure from the front.

Been with my wife 26 years. One kid. We are High school sweethearts. Just had "date night" again last night where we had dinner/wine and watched the magical movie La La Land after. Just about a perfect night.

I chose that despite having three good friends texting me all day to go out for drinks. Two of them are divorced and newly single. The third has been a bonafied "will never marry" womanizer his whole life who I sometimes would envy a once in a while in our 20/30's when he'd get an 8 or 9, but now it is really getting old and sort of pathetic in our mid 40's.

One thing that sticks out to me from something the womanizer friend of mine told me like 7 years ago. I tried to boost him up one night after breaking up with one of his 2 month fling (a pretty hot waitress) by saying he gets hot girls all the time so cheer up. He told me something along the lines of "yeah hot girl here, next month I'll have another but you get to crawl into a warm bed tonight with someone who loves you and you the same. I'll never have that".

Once there are 'self driving cars' there's really very little advantage in the brand monopolies they have.

Why? Because they don't need to attract drivers.

Car rental entities are huge and have the capex to invest in something like this - and they have 'feet on the ground' everywhere.

Many of these rewrite attempts are quick hacks that are abandonded once very basic functionality is present.

For most users Rust vs C/C++ doesn't matter so your rewrite has to be better, not only in security (which is very abstract for users), but better performance / easier to configure / smaller / etc.

It is definitely about time, many small tools and utils that has existed for 15-20 years are very crufty when you open the hood and dive into the source.

"It seems like in reality such monopolies are limited geographically."

Yes - they will be won 'city by city'.

It's entirely possible that Lyft gets Houston, Uber gets Dallas - i.e. once the critical mass is established, it's hard to push out the incumbent.

The funny thing is, they are all planning on 'self driving cars' and at that point, I see so many shifts in the landscape.

The advantage of Uber was the drivers - willing to put in extra time full/part to pick up the slack from taxis etc..

But with 'self driving' I'm not sure if there is a natural monopoly. So many other massive, massive entities would be interested and could make a play: automotive companies, car rental agencies etc. etc..
But, your rant does nothing to invalidate his point. Cabbies are in plus money wise. Chances are zero all taxis in the world will vanish, while Uber+lift can't subsidize forever.
There are many considerations of course and I might not have fully grasped your point, but in reference to your last paragraph:

I mean, in some sense you're right. The literal USD figure is determined that way. However, if you doubled the number of dollars in circulation, and so "doubled the cost" of every home... you've also changed nothing in terms of real cost to consumers. As you say, they're still working just as many hours on the job, still giving the same percentage of their labor to the lender, and they still end up with a house at the end of ~xx years.

If the banks weren't giving the same risk adjusted rates to everyone, you can at least make the argument now that you've got two consumers (the bank is essentially donating money for the purchase to the buyer). But I don't see where that gets us here.
Why do you even set yourself such a goal?

Just learn to use it when you need it, or when you have a task, where you suspect that it might be faster done in bash.
When programming, you usually have three options:

- Use a framework that someone else did. You will have to spend time learning the abstractions of the framework.

- Spend time building your own framework, creating your own abstractions.

- Create a massive amount of spaghetti that, at some point, no one -including you- will want to maintain.
That's what I suspect... So, for now we customers enjoy the convenience, and then we'll be screwed, too.
