You're completely right about the Bay Area.

1. We need more bike lanes. Sensible lanes. They don't need to be huge.

2. We need to allow bikes on the shoulders of highways. (Got a ticket as a kid)

3. Personally, although I hate regulations, I would like to see all public buildings, and any new, or remodeled commercial buildings be required to provide showers for all employees whom bike to work. They would get an extra 10 minutes before clocking in.

4. Ride a mountian bike in the city. Don't ride a road bike, unless you're very skilled. I've seen so many guys go down. Bike messengers never seem to get hit, or have much trouble, but they are professional bikers--sorry, but they are, and I know some drive crazy.

5. Give a state credit to all employees whom bike to work. (I don't know how you could verify it.)

6. I put my bike in my truck, and drive to San Fransisco daily. I try to park for free, and bike from there. I only use old bikes. The nice ones are stolen. It's not great, but you get used to the routine. Oh yea, since there a huge problem with cvechicles break-ins, take every thing of value out of the vechicle. Open the glove compartment. Put a kill switch in vechicle. And pray your vechicle is there when you get back. I sometimes leave the door open--just too many broken windows for a radio.
Assume it's relative, until you can proof your BIOS is unable to communicate with the Wi-Fi adapter. If you are thinking "but it can't connect to a network", your OS will do that for you, at which time it can start communicating.

If you're interested in more reading in this style, is recommend "Deep Sea and Foreign Going" by Rose George, an account of the modern container shipping industry and the old world of shipping that it replaced, seen through the eyes of the writer as she sails on a container ship.

After reading this article I actually had to check it wasn't by her - both of the authors have a similarly wonderful style of melancholy prose.
Its perfectly reasonable to stick with a conclusion once you reached it. You don't stick your penis in the blender every time you walk through the kitchen to check whether or not its still as unpleasant as before. At some time you may actually commit to accepting the evidence. Having a open mind should not stop you from learning.
vim-airline requires you to use a patched font that replaces certain little-used unicode characters with shapes that airline uses to draw its UI.

Alternative is to use other tokens than passwords for authentication. There is hardware tokens (which should not be taken abroad), or the system can be designed to only permit authentication from on-site.

If you need to build in flexibility to work remote, add a one-time password system that has to be manually provide by a on-site staff. That way the decision to be compelled to provide authentication will rest on people not being interrogated in an airport.

There's one thing I've been thinking about that I don't see anyone else talking about, which is the role of hybrids in the decline of the ICE.

I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that most cars sold in 5 or 10 years will be at least hybrid electric. As battery prices continue to fall, it will make sense to include some electric capacity in addition to an ICE. So let's imagine a future where most new cars have a relatively modest 20 kWh battery with a range of more than 100 Km:

Most people, most of the time, drive short distances that will seldom require the use of the combustion engine and its fuel (many hybrids today come with special fuel tanks to prevent the fuel from "going bad"). Buying fuel will become an increasingly rare thing, and people will start to think of it as an expensive inconvenience. The current ICE fleet is reliant on a large, complex and expensive infrastructure to provide this fuel, and as people buy less and less of it, maintaining it will become less and less sustainable. As fueling stations start closing and the fuel prices go up (will they? I'm not sure about this point), it will become even more costly and inconvenient to fuel a hybrid, perpetuating the cycle.

At some point, the idea of a noisy, dirty ICE running on expensive, hard-to-get fuel will become so unattractive that it's no longer a viable option for most people. While this decline is happening, the cost, range and performance of all-electric will improve to the point where there really is no other reasonable choice.

The point is you're going in with the expectation​ of a handcrafted item whereas half the stuff comes straight from a Chinese factory. The market for mass produced items is pretty saturated with many options, Esty originally differentiated itself with hand made items and buyers are willing to pay a premium for handcrafted items.
Belgium allows mopeds and small engined motor cycles on cycle paths and I think it makes sense to do so.

Well... not really. Basically the PC OSes died and what we are left with is the OSes that were then considered workstation-class, namely derivatives of UNIX (Linux, macOS) and Windows NT.

Similarly now we have a split between ”PCs” and mobile OSes (which are arguably far more ’personal’ than PCs ever were).
The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen (1899)
To be a bit more fair, these are the expectations about US police, not in general. And even if you argue this is right (I disagree), at least make sure the expectations are intuitive. Many people call 911 in the "wrong" situations, unaware that they've done something stupid, when they called 911 to ask for help.

And by that I mean if "don't call police on someone unless you're willing to send them to jail" is the accepted and defendable function of police in the US, you should be able to have a nationwide public information campaign with that exact line on it. Because it seems not everyone got the memo.
They keep it in record and in the future if they ever found out you lied, you can be jailed for 10 years.
Isn't the entire point of AMT to allow out-of-band system management? If it relies on the OS to connect to Wi-Fi that would seem to kind of defeat the purpose. Is there any evidence AMT works on Wi-Fi for anybody? I tried pinging my laptop from another machine on the ports listed here and I didn't get any response over Wi-Fi, so I'm not sure how to interpret that.

The major issue with terminal emulators like hyper, is that they don't take care of all the bazillion tiny edge cases that traditional terminals have had to deal with over the past.. don't know, 30 years? How do I know that this thing is stable enough to be a daily driver?

> But as a single OS user I'd prefer the space used be in the writeable area of the firmware rather than taking up my disk.

OK. That's your preference. But now consider this use-case:

You are installing a new OS, your first OS, on a blank PC, on a new disk. All is grand. No toes to step on. How does that OS deploy its bootloader?

You vote it should chose a simplistic way which is optimized for the single-OS use-case. It's primary objective: To save space, around 500MB of space, because you think that's something which matters.

But let's say you were actually planning for a dual-boot scenario. Now you're in the process of installing your second OS. How should that OS deploy its bootloader?

To determine that it is indeed a single-OS use-case (and this that it should use the single-OS simplistic approach, which differs from the multi-OS approach), it needs to find out if another OS and another bootloader is deployed. How should it know that? How should it be certain it doesn't overwrite something which doesn't belong to it?

And since we are now moving from a single-OS solution to a multi-OS solution... Should we migrate the existing simplistically deployed bootloader to a multi-OS config and wipe the existing single-OS configuration?

To put it bluntly: Should Windows move Linux's bootloader? Can you imagine the outrage? Any and every honest bug in such code would be deemed malicious by internet hotheads and be talked about for decades to come in threads filled with "M$".

And this is all getting very complex, very fast, isn't it? It wasn't so simple after all, was it?

With the EFI-partition there is a simple solution and simple answers for all those questions, at any point. Inspecting the state of bootloaders is simple. Deploying OSes is simple. Avoiding collisions is the default because different OSes namespace their bootloaders inside the EFI partition. Windows doesn't even need to know or care if Linux is installed!

Everything just works. At a cost. The cost of allocating a few MBs in the age when Terabytes rules.

And honestly, I find that a pretty good trade-off.

> "Don't Travel With Work Data"

Why would I value my personal data any less than my work data?

So what this rally means is: "Don't Travel With Any Data".

And knowing that they only need to plug an infected USB device into your PC/phone/tablet to infect the latter irrevocably, the situation can now be summed up as:

"Don't Travel With Any Data Or Any Hardware".

Now what does that say about the sate of a country?

Glasswire (paid version) is nearly there - Only annoyance is when using across multiple users on the same machine. An app is blocked by one user cannot be unblocked easily by a non-admin (e.g. one of my kids) - have to switch user, unblock and switch back. Annoying if I do actually want to allow some traffic through.

edit - yes Glasswire blocks by executable rather than port.

Technically, only ~57% of eligible voters actually voted. Of those, about half voted for Trump. So only about 27% of all eligible voters actually voted for Trump. That is pretty standard for a US presidential election.

Those are the rules for democracy, so he is the legitimately elected president.

Maybe your sister is just a bad writer? Or you already don't like her and are predisposed to find her emails tedious? I don't still write to people who didn't write me back, by the way.. I got the message that they were not interested. It's not an exercise in narcissism..

And yes I was indeed sharing a story about what works for me. I never implied it would work for everyone else, or that anyone using FB was doing anything wrong, or that "social networking" is wrong.

You're also right that I am networking on HN as we speak! And these are also very shallow interactions, but that's perfectly ok because this is just HN and I'm just talking with strangers about topics that interest me.

But that wasn't the case with Facebook. Context matters. I was having shallow interactions with people I have deep existing relationships with (good friends who have moved away, family, etc), and I decided that for me personally that didn't work, and I wanted to do things differently.
Thanks for bringing up, since it is a relevant point. However, it still does not change the fact that he is now leading the most powerful nation, with all its consequences.

I have always wondered how hard it would be to switch to direct voting rather as opposed to the system with an electoral college. Is it impossible because the current system is codified in the constitution, or does it 'only' require an amendment. If so, was there ever a serious attempt to change this system?

Due to the electoral college system, correlation between "voting for Trump" and "wanting Trump as a president" isn't 100%, so you I'm not sure you can make strong conclusions based on 2.2% difference in popular vote.
I don't care about whether it uses Electron or hundreds of MB or not. I'm just missing a real motivation for why I would want to use this, rather than the terminal I'm already using.

Main stated motivations appear to be "better looking" and autocompletion, which doesn't really sell it to me.
Did you do software (in the sense you wrote it) and hardware?

I use my surface book as a tablet only occasionally, for watching videos or playing one particular game.

But it's well worth it just treated as a laptop with a touchscreen. Little things like being able to tap a button occasionally, or sign a PDF with the pen rather than printing and scanning, all add up. And the dock works really nicely - I leave everything plugged into my desk for a proper gaming/development setup, but I can disconnect one cable and take it on a train or plane and it's small enough to work there.

https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

Unfortunately some people seem to have missed that this talk was labeled "comedy" and "absurdist", are actually trying to implement a JavaScript kernel. The talk just got the name wrong - it was "Electron", not "Metal".

I know it's an experimental project, but that's exactly the time to learn Ruby+Tk, or {anything}+Qt, or any of the other cross-platform toolkits. If you have to bundle an entire GUI server ("the browser") with your app to shoehorn HTML into use cases it wasn't designed for, you're doing it wrong.
you need very expensive license plate and driving permit to drive car or motorbike, most of Chinese have neither of these, thus popularity of ebikes (no driving permit, no license plate) especially since most of Chinese are stuck all year in megacity they live in and go outside maybe twice a year (spring holiday to see parents, national CCP holiday to travel abroad or around China), electric cars in China are even bigger niche than in West, since even car ownership is extremely low and undercapacitated infrastructure can't deal already even with low car ownership
There's a new trend of "codeless" apps that require little to no programming , that could advance us far on that problem, you should look into it.
Why do I need to provide my e-mail and create a password when I choose to sign in with GitHub? First of all they were supposed to be able to retrieve the e-mail address from GitHub I think, like they did with name and company. Creating a password should not have been needed at all.
I get the impression that the p and ggp comments are part of a misguided experiment in automatic text generation.
So only about 27% of all eligible voters actually voted for Trump.

The remaining 43% voted for 'I'll take whoever wins'. So, ~72% of the eligible voters can be held accountable for him becoming president.

Those are the rules for democracy, so he is the legitimately elected president.

Definitely, it is legitimate, even if we don't like the outcome ;).
People are bemoaning the use of Electron on this thread quite a lot, for a lot of different reasons. Rather than just complaining that "Electron == Bad" does anyone have any thoughts on why Electron is so popular, and how to use that information to come to a compromise that keeps those benefits without the inherent negatives of memory usage & speeds issue?

My two pence; A consolidated push of a React Native for Desktop seems like it could really help here. You get a lot of the benefits of working in a web-like environment (the developer experience, the development speed, the ability to share code across runtimes) but you end up with Native Code (Swift, C#, Cpp, etc.) for each supported OS. RN for Mobile OSs has done wonders in my opinion. I think a real push for RN in the Desktop could be the next big thing for desktop apps.
The author seems to be under the impression that that set of glyphs not in the ASCII set is somehow special. That is not he case for any reasonable modern OS. Your font rendering engine does not care whether its painting a  or a F or a . As long as it knows how to draw the glyph it will, and if it doesn't it will make one up.

If your browser could not draw the tub and pantheon above chances are neither would black-screen. The author seems to be an accomplished coder, but I can't see how the magic of JavaScript will make teaching your font engine how to paint a glyph go away.

I can imagine an app for managing small amateur sports teams, Little Leagues etc. Club secretaries take a lot of time on this work and its pretty thankless, plus they have a modest budget, so something that charges a $50 a year to host your team data with easy to use tools for booking matches, managing email lists etc could be a viable business. But I wouldn't call it a "social network".
