You know what trumps United's Contract of Carriage?

https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/fly-rights

"If the substitute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (400% of your one-way fare, $1350 maximum)."

Refusing to offer any more than $800 is illegal for any passenger who paid more than $200, fees inclusive, for their flight.

Given that the lowest fare currently offered by United for a one way adult fare between Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and Louisville (SDF) is $228.20, with at least $29.32 in fees (not including bags), then United is clearly legally obligated to have offered AT LEAST $1,030 (another example of their sterling customer service, even that would be the absolute minimum legally required and they couldn't even bring themselves to do that).
I for one love SF and Lynch's Dune. Is this article just an excuse to show us the awesome set art? Not being sarcastic here, I really wish I could see the full uncut version, have only seen the heavily edited TV one that airs every year or two. It's great far-future stuff, and I think more interesting (if less successful) than Alien or other Geiger-inspired sets.

I've read elsewhere on the Internet that Dune the novel actually is an inspiration for the Star Wars universe, even if the Star Wars cinematography predates and must influence (even if through intentional avoidance of such appearance) Lynch's treatment of Dune...

[edit: fixed typo of Dune, not Doom]
This sort of surprised me. I know for motorcyclists they make all sorts of all-weather quasi-waterproof gear. I suppose the differences is that most of the motorcycle gear might be difficult to peddle a bike in.

Won't this just delay the adoption of IPv6?
Yeah, I'm so tired of hearing this come up when people are looking for Linux laptops. It's very old, and VERY ugly. Most of us want something modern that runs Linux well.
Excerpts from mobyproject.org give a much better explanation:

Moby is an open framework created by Docker to assemble specialized container systems without reinventing the wheel. It provides a “lego set” of dozens of standard components and a framework for assembling them into custom platforms.

Audience

Moby is recommended for anyone who wants to assemble a container-based system, this includes:

Hackers who want to customize or patch their Docker build

System engineers or integrators building a container system

Infrastructure providers looking to adapt existing container systems to their environment

Container enthusiasts who want to experiment with the latest container tech

Open-source developers looking to test their project in a variety of different systems

Anyone curious about Docker internals and how it’s built

Moby is NOT recommended for:

Application developers looking for an easy way to run their applications in containers. We recommend Docker CE instead.

Enterprise IT and development teams looking for a ready-to-use, commercially supported container platform. We recommend Docker EE instead.

Anyone curious about containers and looking for an easy way to learn. We recommend the docker.com website instead.

I'd second Todoist. Its simply amazing! So easy and delightful a UI and yet it has a lot of really cool features (emailing tasks, nice to set up in a GTD environment etc.)
I wish tmux could document their line protocol. Currently only iTerm is using that to integrate with tmux and no one else is doing it.
What if consumers want it, though? Opt-in?
Panic Button Alarm System
I started using Reminders and Siri for this about 3 years ago and it's been wonderful. I don't need a lot of fancy features like GTD, sub tasks, etc, but I do use a lot of shared lists with the wife (shopping, planning, honey-do, and packing being the 4 primary ones).

The combo has been even better since I got my apple watch - you'd be amazed how quietly you can whisper 'hey Siri, remind me to blah in 20 minutes' to your watch...
That's because those guidelines aren't meant for them.

Google is saying that if you don't follow their guidelines, you "shouldn't" be included in their search results. They aren't saying you are committing some kind of atrocity, just that pages that do that provide bad results from searches.

Of course google doesn't want scraped results showing up in their search results. Would you want your search engine to show results from other search engines which show results from other search engines which show results from a page with a snippet which points to the real source?

They aren't "not following their own rules" any more than a train is braking the rules by being on the tracks in spite of the "stay off the train tracks" sign.
A few notions, in order from what I think is most likely/important to least:

1. Retail involves large numbers of part-time workers, making the workforce harder to organize.

2. An idle factory is incredibly costly to the owners. Factory workers have more leverage.

3. Employer hostility/union breaking efforts, you need only spend a few minutes on google to find some nasty stories about wally world or your least favorite retail chain.

4. Lack of identity: if the last few years have taught us anything, it should be that people in manufacturing clearly have integrated their jobs into their identity. You can see programmers et al doing the same thing right here on HN every day. I doubt most people in retail consider "working in retail" to be an important part of who they are in the same way factory workers or programmers might.

5. Men ("breadwinners") have historically worked in manufacturing and women have historically worked in retail, lack of focus on retail historically by organizers

A more interesting question that "Why is it hard to unionize retail?" is "Why is it hard to unionize programmers?" I don't have as many good answers for that one. #3 is the only one which applies to programmers.
You are being down voted because you assume if you don't cycle to work, you can't cycle at all, and if you cycle, you must always mix with traffic.
The requirement that Wunderlist never met is the ability to VERY QUICKLY from ANY screen add a to-do without CONTEXT SWITCHING. Todoist was the only one that provided this 3 years ago with a sticky notification in Android. I was a paid user for 1 out of 3 years (not currently paying). I would pay if the price was closer to the LastPass pro price, $1 per month, $12 per year

Just want to point out that's there is a really old issue for this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113111

It's been assigned to some unknown person since 2015.

Though I'm not so sure the reason for it's delay in coming to Android isn't technical rather than organizational.

Brave for Android is based off of Chromium and it didn't have extensions either.

It sounds like the way extension APIs were initially implemented didn't lend itself to a Android port.

"We never had the Android version compiling with extension support in the first place - in our early development internally, we hacked/commented/disabled random parts of extension code just to get the binary to compile, and we later tidied this up to disable extensions in a neater way to save binary size. So, you are basically talking about actually implementing extension support for android from scratch, including adding every thing that extensions require but aren't currently implemented for Android. This isn't likely to be especially easy. " - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/m/#!topic/chr...

Though I don't understand why since Firefox mobile extensions are based off a similarly designed system (Jetpack) to Chromes.

It seems that if nothing else they could create a new API for extensions on Android.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes Lynch's Dune. I enjoyed it, visually I think its beautiful. I don't think it dishonors the book.
Seems like this needs to provide your definitions for "better" or "high quality". I haven't tried VSCode yet, but I play with Atom on occasion just to see what the cool kids are doing.

I doubt their claim without stats and facts,
Company falsely claiming % for promoting product

1. have they reached 100% students? to claim 95%? no they have not reached there are 500+ colleges in a single state
2. From which engineering year student given test, for first year most of the colleges have same syllabus for first year
3. Company itself mentioned using automata it was found that the machine learning score was able to predict 22.6% good candidates
> then I think he was right to resist being removed from the flight.

See I don't agree with this. Its an argument for vigilantism. The courts are the appropriate place for this to be disputed. Private property and law enforcement should be respected, especially on airplanes. This is how we uphold a civil society.

If a security guard is going to kick me out of somewhere because they think I am someone else, I am not going to physically resist even though they may be wrong. I will discuss it outside if there is a problem. Same applies to any situation. I can't see how it can ever benefit someone to physically resist something like this. It will always end up the same.

> so let's not give united a pass on this situation

I don't see what other option United had and don't see wrongdoing. The only thing this media firestorm does is set a precedent that if you are kicking and screaming you won't be bumped from a flight.

Even if he was in the right, when you are told to get off a plane, or leave a store, it is the right thing to do regardless of whether you were legally in the right. Encouraging people into physical confrontation does not create a nice society to live in.
Now you've got me imagining a David Lynch film about a space marine fighting robot demons on Mars.
A bad decision being made because a power group have defended it's interests that damaged the interests of the public.

You think this is unique to capitalism?
This statement sort of requires an asterisk in that it's entirely dependent on your schedule, city, your location within it and your capacity for recognizing and taking risk.

Some people for example would say the same things of motorcycles, yet there is no shortage of people who recognize and take the risk to ride out there.

Also, many cities have a plethora of bike paths that network through them and lanes set aside for bikes. That combined with high-visibility gear and recognizing those pain points to avoid or tread carefully mitigates a great amount of the risk you take.

It's a factor to weigh in for sure, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be. Anecdotally that's a shame about your co-workers, but for example there are dozens of people who bike to work everyday at my work and none of them have died in the ten years I've been here.

So I suppose you should really phrase that as a factor to consider rather than a blanket statement that it's not worth the risk in the U.S.
From the DoT site

If the airline must substitute a smaller plane for the one it originally planned to use, the carrier isn't required to pay people who are bumped as a result. In addition, on flights using aircraft with 30 through 60 passenger seats, compensation is not required if you were bumped due to safety-related aircraft weight or balance constraints.

I'm not sure I understand this exception. Yes it kind of make sense that when it becomes a safely issue the airlines don't have to pay in that they will not play around with safety but isn't it still mostly airlines fault .. lack of proper maintenance or planning. But even it's an accidental case with no fault for the airlines it's also no fault of the customer and you are making individuals pay for the incident and protecting the corporation how does that make sense?
Youtube & Netflix is the new TV. I don't think lot of people sit on their couch and watch Facebook videos all night.

I don't think Facebook can ever reach Google's level. Google is expensive for a reason because it's highly valuable since people are searching to buy.

Facebook is cheap because you are really casting a wide net and hoping to catch a fish. This is less efficient than Google's Adword.

Most of my BBS talk/nostalgia is embarrassing but by far my most embarrassing anecdote was that I set up a BBS exclusively to chat with my high school girlfriend late into the night.

This is only noteworthy because, in 2017, this would be entirely normal behavior for a 14 year-old. But the amount of effort and expense it took to get the equipment, extra line, BBS and then _teaching my girlfriend how to use a modem_ put me squarely in the superdork category.
How to automatically update WordPress plugins
I retrofitted F# style "discriminated unions" (which are basically sealed heirarchies) into C# by creating a series of generic types `OneOf<T0, ..., Tn>` which can hold exactly one value,

Each type has a `.Match` and `.Switch` methods, in to which you have to pass lambdas to handle each case `.Match(Func<T0, TResult, ..., Func<Tn, TResult>`.

I don't know if this would work in Java, given the generic type erasure, but it might...

You miss your childhood days, not BBS. Today's teenagers in 20 years will be talking about Snapchat days.
This, to a certain extent.

If it's raining, assume you have to change clothes. Any DWR-coated clothing will eventually wear off by the end of a season or two. And your shoes and socks will be the wettest items anyways.

Also during rain, there's a fine line between getting soaked from the rain, or sweating out from your rain jacket. Showers Pass has made bike-focused rain gear for a while that has plenty of reflective details and options for venting. Your basic rain jacket from TNF, Marmot, Patagucci will work in a pinch, too.

For moderate weather, plenty of companies have been (or used to be) targeted for bike-commuting: Swrve, Makers & Riders, and Outlier (the last one has moved away). They all offer stretchy pants made with synthetics so they dry quicker. Newer wool slacks with a touch of spandex from your typical big box retailers like Banana Republic also work because they're slightly stretchy and breathable. You'll probably wear them out faster, though, since wool doesn't handle abrasion that well.

But yeah, depending on the weather, how easily you sweat, and how far you have to ride, you may need a second set of clothes. Hopefully your office doesn't have a hoteling setup.
I think society needs to reject these complexes. Personally I refuse to live or work anywhere like this. I pay a hefty premium for this attitude, but I'm betting it will mean a better life for me.

Does cycling cut cancer and heart disease risk?

Or are people who are at relatively low risk of those diseases more likely to cycle?

Or both?

The way the headline reads, many people will be led to believe "Oh, if I start cycling, then I'll cut my risk of cancer and heart disease."

This study does not lead to that conclusion. All we can say is that there is a correlation between cycle and lower cancer/heart disease risk - even when accounting for a few other factors.

Given that there are other ways of concluding that regular aerobic exercise cuts cancer and heart disease risk - and indeed the preponderance of the evidence suggest that it does.

But I doubt the effect is really to almost halve the risk of those diseases.
Any issue with using the sidewalk as opposed to the "Bike Lane" to avoid risk of being hit by a car?

Location: a commuter city, sidewalks rarely used in AM, not much usage in PM.

My commute is 80% private paths, and 20% on a road in the city. I've seen a lot of cars crossing the bike lane and I've only been biking for 2 weeks.

Dune is a beautiful film by Lynch, but the story pacing and deadpan-ish acting really hurts it. Lynch sometimes needs to be reined in. A reined in Lynch can make the difference between an amazing "Elephant Man" or weird as hell "Rabbits."

This isn't April 1st, is it?
Conversations often expand from their narrow initial scope based upon the received responses.

So, while this was about the Economist in general, the parent response commented on how it "regularly has classifieds in the back selling whole airports in Gambia, refineries in Vietnam, or inviting applications to be the UN's High Commissioner for Complicated Negotiations regarding Time Zones in littoral Antarctica." -- as a way to show that the readership is especially refined and/or intelligent.

My response to this was that the elites who might be interested in buying "whole airports in Gambia" or be involved with the "UN's High Commissioner" are not necessarily refined or knowledgable about world affairs much more than the next person. Not even prominent politicians can be trusted to be nowadays -- to which I used Trump and Bush as examples.

(That said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were both subscribers too. Many otherwise inane public figures are subscribers - I've met my share).

We get it. Palmer Luckey likes Trump. It's time to end the crusade against him.

Living in a hyperbole saturated liberal echo chamber you'd think that no decent, moral human beings could be capable of supporting Trump. But many do.

The conservatives spouted similar nonsense in their own hyperbolic echo chambers when Obama was president.
I agree that Node once felt tangibly worse. I used Clojure for three years to avoid Node until I had to use Node at work (nobody was going to learn Clojure) and I discovered Koa when it just released.

Even back in Koa 1, co/yield/function* closed the gap for me. Nowadays it's much better with ubiquitous promise usage and async/await.

I miss various things about Clojure like the editor-as-a-repl development cycle, but in my opinion, they still amount to small technical differences that play second fiddle to business concerns.
> I disagree. The default settings of Visual studio work perfectly fine for me.

That's lucky for you, but unfortunately, it's not the case for me at all.

> As an added advantage, I can use other developers in my companies workstations to show them something quickly if I need

I might be using other peoples computers 10 hours a year, but I'm using my own maybe as much as 2200 hours a year. It doesn't seem logical to take the first scenario into account when deciding whether to customise ones setup or not, but it's indeed a nice bonus if ones optimal setup is the default one that every other developer is using too.

> and so on? I'm a C++ developer. Setting up C++ autocomplete is anything but straightforward in vim and emacs

I don't use C++ anymore, but 7 years back when I did, it worked good enough for my use case, and the problem with other IDEs and editors were the same back then as it is now, where they were actually hindering my work, which a less than perfect "intellisense" doesn't at all. YMMV.
I used to run more commands from vim, but now I personally find Ctrl-Z is usually more convenient for all the one-off commands. If I do run stuff from inside of vim, it's now usually ":w !" or ":r !" (or some custom command wrapper around those).
They don't want to incentivize the airlines even a little bit to fly with safety issues.
Pretty much everyone knows the price of admission to using tools like Vim and Emacs is the time investment in config and learning the quirks.

What the OP is saying that this doesn't have to be a perpetual state. Once you invest effort early on getting it right you often don't need to touch it, beyond a few tweaks now and then. The maintenance burden definitely declines over time.

Then all you need is a storage solution like git and GNU Stow or the various clones (plenty of good ones around or just use a basic dir).

There are a few preconfigured configs on github, ala oh my ZSH but for Vim or Emacs. That's one solution.

But otherwise if you're not a fan of this config heavy approach then it's not for you. Just like using Linux desktop vs Mac. I love the configurability of Archlinux and I've similarily reached a mature point in my configs where setting up a new machine is zero work and I rarely need to tweak it, nor does it ever 'break' (which is a side effect of constant change).
