<sigh> no it isn't. The word 'patch' was used to mean 'a small fix' hundreds of years before computers were even invented. e.g. patching a hole in a sweater.
25 year frame warranty, 10 year belt warranty.

Basically, the cost of replacing it three times is built into the price.
thank you! it was a close one.
You say that that like it's a crazy idea, but Vancouver's done just that, and enacted an empty house tax[1]. It took effect at the beginning of this year, and it's not a huge amount (~$7.5k) compared to the price of a house. What's interesting is the penalty for lying - $7.5k/day. How this works out remains to be see though.

...which is presumably why there's a 10 year warranty on the belt.

> We can't do anything about Google though.

Yes, we can! Don't use Google, or use certain settings in the applications which enhance your privacy. The default settings are not always the best settings for the user.

Don't use Google Search. Use a search engine which respects your privacy such as the scraper DuckDuckGo (DDG).

Don't use Gmail. Use an e-mail provider which doesn't scan through your e-mail. Where you got IMAP access. Use a device where you can use GPG. Or use alternative methods of communication.

Don't use Google Maps. Use a maps application which respects your privacy such as OpenStreetMap or (arguably) Apple Maps.

Don't use Google Fit. [...]

And so on, so forth. Ask yourself the following: do I really need this? The answer is often: "not really."

You have the option to use neither. If the choice is Android or iOS you pay more for iOS devices but your privacy generally suffers less. [Ignoring the option of dumbphones] there's a third option: don't take your phone with you. It is a choice to take your Android or iOS device with you. Among others, Bruce Schneier wrote about this in his book Data And Goliath.
I mean, from an engineering perspective it's pretty dramatic. The rocket is going two kilometers a second in the wrong direction, it has to null out that speed, hit a moving target in the middle of the ocean and come to a stop. The rocket is too light to hover (the engine can't be throttled low enough, it's too powerful) so the velocity must be zero'd out right at the deck, too early and the rocket starts moving back up, too late and it hits the boat and blows up.
It took me 2-3 weeks of being fairly frustrated with Rust until I grokked the borrow checker. This was mostly on/off coding in my spare time at night.

This is coming from a background of mostly C/Java.

Nice, good looking out. I assume Ikea isn't about to staff a mechanic for a low-occurance problem for a single product, so I wonder how they will handle warranty for the labor of replacing it.

We plan to pick up our things and travel when the kids are out the house so I imagine that by then we are looking forward to it.
I wonder, could something like this be used for automated testing? Eg, UI testing is always a concern of mine - i like full end to end testing, but UI is difficult.

I wonder if we could have somewhat machine learning trained image recognition bots click a Next button, without having to specifically provide the image. Making testing much less cumbersome, and more like "click button X, require 10 list items on screen", etc. Note that this package doesn't have any ML i believe, it was just an example since this package does have bitmap comparison it looks like.

In both cases, A does something and B does not, and the result is B pays more income tax than A despite A and B having equal income.

Why people insist the two cases are conceptually different (i.e., that one and only one of them is a "fine" for not doing the thing), I do not know.
It may seem that US educational system favour individualism, but there are no indications that it has any significant consequences. Google failed to find correlations between performance at college and performance at work [1].

I don't think either the California National Party or the Texas secession movement want to secede because they are comprised of neoreactionaries. That article doesn't provide a shred of evidence that neoreactionaries are involved in any actual secession movements.

As a side note, that linked article and the assumptions you make off of it (the article does not mention "anarcho-capitalism" or "private government") both seem wildly unbased, more than bordering on conspiracy. The evidence against Thiel is more or less tantamount to him funding a startup founded by Yarvin, but surely there could have been a plethora of non-political motivations behind that.

There is research on this, there are two distinct kinds of love, passionate and companionate. Passionate is in the beginning and generally lasts a year or two, while it fades, companionate evolves. Though companionate declines over time, some level of passionate is needed to keep the relationship lasting.

This is the height of arrogance. I cannot express how offensive it seems.
We reverse engineered 16000 apps, here’s what we found
The biggest strength and weakness of Ubuntu Phone is that it's a device
without an intrinsic set of services. If you buy an Android device, you get
Google Services. If you buy an iPhone, you get Apple services.

What he's missing is that the device is pretty much useless without the
services. The services are as necessary to the functionality of the device as
say, filesystem drivers are on an operating system. Yes, it's possible to have
an operating system without filesystem drivers, but it's not going to be very
useful to your average consumer. Similarly, it's possible to have a smartphone
without location services, or push notifications, but it's not going to be very
useful.

While these can be strengths (at least in Google's case) they are
effectively a lock in to services that may or may not meet your
requirements. You certainly can get Telegram or Signal for either of those,
but they're never going to be as integrated as Hangouts or iMessage. This
goes throughout the device including things like music and storage as well.

I don't know what he means with regards to "storage" (cloud storage, perhaps?)
but when it comes to messaging, I find that Telegram actually makes a better
text messaging application than Hangouts. The UI is easier, it's easier to scan
through archived messages, and it's faster. That's leaving aside the obvious
privacy improvements that Telegram brings over Hangouts. Similarly, I find that
Spotify does a better job of handling music on Android than Google Play Music.
It has better integration with its desktop client, better sync, and it doesn't
lose its network connection when switching from wifi to LTE.

Android already has the strengths and disadvantages of Ubuntu Phone (mostly
thanks to Google's incompetence). I'm not sure what Ubuntu Phone brings to the
table that would make it better than Android. Right now, it appears to be an OS
like Android with many fewer apps, and even more headaches when it comes to
cloud services.
The IKEA bike has a belt drive, disk brakes, aluminum frame, automatic 2-gear system, etc.

Walmart and other big-box store bicycles are infamous in the cycling community for their poor quality and assembly, often to the point of being completely unsafe to ride at any speed (Nader reference intended).

They often use the cheapest high-tensile steel they can find, off-brand rims, mix-and-match groupsets, low-quality brakes, and so forth. The bike you linked exemplifies that - mixed Shimano/SRAM components and "alloy wheels" are in its description. Box-store bikes are also never put together correctly - flipped forks, pinched inner tubes, and sheared screws/bolts abound when they come in for repairs.

Comparing these two bicycles directly, the big things that stand out as pros are the Sladda's aluminum frame and disc brakes. An internal gear hub is also a nice low-maintenance touch. It remains to be be seen how well the Sladda holds up, but $400-500 isn't too unreasonable for a aluminum city-cruiser that's been ruggedized.
Take it in to your local bike shop if you are really worried. The biggest factor in your chain's health (assuming you have kept it in a nice dry place over the years) is how much you ride it. It's a mechanical part, so it shouldn't simply go bad in an inert state. If you are riding it regularly though take it to your local shop and have it looked over. A new chain w/ installation should only run you about 20 or so bucks for a low end chain.
Then you concede that taking away the home mortgage interest deduction (making the homeowner-who-resides-in-the-owned-home and the renter equal for tax purposes) would not drive up rents, and your original comment was at worst wrong and at best a non sequitur.
This is more like the belt drives we have had available in motorcycles for a long time just a smaller/lightweight version of it (due to much less power involved)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-to-assemble_furniture
But how much? For example, what would be the impact of a 20% reduction in traffic congestion, made possible say by workplaces moving to a 20% remote workforce (or every employee works from home one day per week on average). What if we were to reduce our flights by 10% or 20%? These are things that people can actually envision doing. How much is needed in order to actually help? Maybe only a 5% reduction is needed (one day home in 20)?
Belt driven bikes have actually been around for quite a while. They aren't nearly as common as chained bikes but are generally less greasy/dirty. They are also usually good for people who don't do a ton of bike maintenance because (unlike a chain) a belt will never rust.
That seems better than judging performance based on a single metric, but still wide open to gaming.

In my experience, it's better to use your full range of objective and subjective facilities to select a good manager, and then trusting them until it's time to re-evaluate (using the same means but now with more evidence of their performance).

An organization that runs on extrinsic motivations can only ever be mediocre at best (and often worse), and there's very little that kills intrinsic motivation more than putting people into systems designed reduce a human's potential to a number (or several numbers in the case of your balanced scorecard).
Opposed by local politicians or not, new buildings have and are going up on both sides of the east river. NYC could do a lot better, but credit where credit is do. It is doing significantly better on this front than SF.
What do I have to change in order to save a ton? How much driving is that?
This is incorrect. Most people don't realize this. Do you consent your car to store all your location information in the cloud? What if TV started storing all things you watch in the cloud? Tomorrow, if all the car/tv manufacturers started doing this, what choice do you have? No, the option is not "do not use cars/tv". And tbh, I don't even think 80% of the population is cognizant about what is being collected and what it's used for. This is the reality and they have "accepted" it as-is. This is the situation we find ourselves with email (all email providers mark any other email as spam).

It is me or there's no rear brake?
Without suspension at the front, this asks for front flips whenever I touch the brakes too hard..
Ikea's primary brand tenant is their ability to ship and store all of their goods very efficiently because they break down to pack into very flat boxes with little wasted space. For example, a big bookshelf is sold in only flat pieces so the package you leave the store with is the size of a box of cereal. This is how Ikea makes money over their competitors and is able to warehouse huge inventory at their retail locations. Customers also love it because it means you can buy a couch and load it into the back of your small car since it isn't assembled.

In this case I assume it means the bike is disassembled in key places to maintain an extremely low profile and densely packed box.
This looks like an interesting project. I was really big into the AutoIt community back in the day. I think being able to write programs that simulate user input is a great way to learn programming. It is an amazing thing to watch an automation script you wrote fly through controls, menus and actions of 3rd party programs as fast the program can keep up.

I remember all the drama surrounding the split or "fork" of AutoHotkey from AutoIt and the subsequent changing of licenses to make future AutoIt releases closed source.

Being able to write AutoIt-like scripts but in a cross-platform way would be great.
>The breakthrough is actually doing it...

That is not a breakthrough.
Based on what researchers who had access to the Windows kernel are saying, Windows has a decent amount of edge cases and special conditions to maintain backwards compatability with old software. For example if some popular software from 2000 abused some implementation detail that has since changed, Windows will detect that specific program and simulate old behaviour for it.

I expect most of that stuff lives in the userland interfaces to the kernel, but at least Microsoft seems to consider those to still be kernel code.
> Step right up to one of the many amazing animal-free circuses. Cirque du Soleil in particular puts on an incredible show

Not true. Humans are animals. Circus performers spend a lot of time in small trailers. It's inhumane.
True. However, the article here is talking about bulk encryption of thousands of passwords, and how "ordinary" word sets are easy to break.

I think the "usual" case is that hackers want to get as many passwords as possible, and so singling out an individual for analysis is probably not worth the time, unless you're an "individual of interest" for some reason.
Based on the demographics in the tech sector I would the majority of HN readers are male.

Based on the overall distribution of sexual preferences in humans I would wager the majority of those is heterosexual or has a strong heterosexual leaning when it comes to romantic relationships.

In other words, for the majority of them their personal frame of reference for relationships is their own experience as a man in a relationship with a woman.

So when reading about or discussing heterosexual relationships they're most likely going to empathise with the man and project any negative experiences they had onto the woman.

That's not misogyny, that's sampling bias.

Also, given the prevalence of certain character traits in tech workers, I am far more inclined to believe the people projecting all kinds of bad things onto the author are merely showing a lack of awareness of implicit subtext (e.g. the author exaggerating her own flaws and politely omitting any flaws of her partner).
Yep - it mostly depends on the available fuel left over after the orbital insertion. Not an option on all missions.
Suppose Carol has a clock. At X it reads 0, and at Y it reads 100 (100 units in the future). From Bob's perspective, Carol's clock would also read 0 at X and 100 at Y despite the fact that she was at Y first.

In other words, as Carol travels 'forward' in Bob's time, her clock runs backwards. Or, from Carol's perspective, Bob's clock would be running backwards.

This isn't actually a problem in relativity, but is the definition of time travel.

> You're welcome to move to a non taxation government, or just to one where it is barely enforced

Even if you do that, the US will still tax you unless you also renounce your US citizenship. Which, incidentally, is not easy to do, and also requires paying a hefty fee (ie, "the tax you have to pay to get out of paying your tax").
I've been keeping an eye on this bike's development for a while, and I'm not disappointed with the outcome. It's still more expensive than a box-store bike, but I hope that availability at IKEA will make it more appealing to college students. Internal gears and a belt drive will make for more interesting maintenance, but anything beats the hi-ten 18-speed monstrosities that currently dominate college campuses.
That's essentially all for-profit contractors.

Actually I don't think it's that easy. I guess you could buy goods and sell them at 80% of the price you paid but even that would have a ton of overhead to reach 700 m in revenue.
No, we should just keep building more housing to sell to them so there's enough to go around.

Not my metaphor but I like it: imagine if there were laws restricting GM from making more than a million cars a year and we sat around complaining the Chinese were buying all the cars and there were none left for Americans. Would you get rid of the stupid law or ban the Chinese from buying our cars?
People like to hate on Coinbase because they took a stance on the block size debate in the past that was at odds with powerful people in the Bitcoin world who also happened to control the main forums for discussing Bitcoin. I think most of the "problems" people have are just a thinly veiled attempt at a smear campaign. At this point they are the the standard in Bitcoin for what a trustworthy and ethical company should be. They have got to hold the record for longest period in Business w/o losing massive amounts of customer funds to fraud or theft.
Simply spraying some lubricant (like Teflon spray for example) onto the chain, running through all the gear combinations, and wiping the excess lubricant off the chain every couple months goes a long way. It helps your bike make less noise, extends the life of your chain, and helps keep your chain from turning totally black with grease. (Which means you're less likely to get grease stains on your pants when you ride.)
33, although that's still quite hefty by modern standards ;)
I imagine at that point the cause and effect would become mightily, mightily mixed up. Maybe race is a cause of political affiliation (it certainly isn't an effect), but surely certain factors, like donations, would be an effect of political affiliation. As it already stands, it seems reasonable to me that the urban/suburban/rural split might be equally as much an effect as a cause.

As it stands, that sort of analysis might be interesting, but is of little value without separating cause and effect (and surely those will be different for everyone).
Where are well-funded new entrant going to get self-driving cars from? Uber/Google don't have to sell self-driving cars to the public, and by the time self-driving cars happen, Uber's already got an app and the infrastructure to run the app, as well as the engineering expertise in running that infrastructure. In addition, they already have the installed base of customers that default to the Uber app for their transportation needs. Self-driving cars aren't going to take over instantly, either, so there will be a slow transition period of phasing out manual-drivers.

Whether Uber's billions in losses can be amortized over that time so those losses aren't on the books so they can be competitive with a new entrant solely using self-driving cars, remains to be seen.
