I'm not sure which era, or which detuning you are talking about, but the 500 cu in (8.2L !!!!) Cadillac engine in the El Dorado made 400 hp when it was introduced in 1970, and 190 hp in 1976, after several rounds of detuning for smog controls, among other reasons.

This chart is enough to make you cry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_V8_engine#500

Anyway, eventually engineers learned how to make engines that are highly efficient and have very low emissions, basically by making the things as complicated as sin.

For a good 10 years or so, all of these goodies they added (like Mass Airflow Sensors, etc) would fail in mysterious ways, and be very expensive to replace.

Now most of that stuff is pretty solid too.

A lot of opinion about car tech is set by stuff that is 10-20 years old, which is both fair and not fair. It's fair, because it's hard to tell how things will wear when they are new. It's not fair, because engineers have already fixed a lot of things that went wrong in the previous generation.

Anyway, Cadillac now has a 3.0L Turbo [0] that makes as much hp as the 8.2 from above.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Soda drinkers I've met who are really into it tend to go through a few 12-packs a week. As a kid, I'd play Quake with a 2L of Cherry Coke each night, and I've known others who did the same with Mountain Dew. Live and learn, I suppose.
Hangouts eats battery like mad. The UI/UX is still a big mess: there's really two hangouts webapps; one for calendar calls and one for ad-hoc calls, and that's a mess. Finally, it's nice to have one single tool, rather than multiple tools for this sort of thing.
Wow, that first link just seems like they're being incredibly pedantic. I seem to remember similar issues with Psychology Today previously, meh. None of these pop-psych rags are particularly good.
I should also mention that they are targeting only single and dual socket.

Your analysis appears correct, as several sources write that Gunstar Heroes uses multi-sprite bosses [1][2].

F1 on the Mega Drive owes its existence to an earlier game for the Atari ST, Vroom [5]. The brainchild behind that game, "Dan McRae", talks in a video interview [3] about how he arrived at that particular version of the game from his earlier revisions on older platforms -- where techniques shown in Lou's Pseudo 3d Page [4] apply, to more advanced techniques [6] similar to the ones presented in this submission.

F1 on the Mega Drive was done by the same dev studio that collaborated with McRae on Vroom, and at least one of the same programmers, but presumably had to do some advanced tilemap trickery specific to the console. Unfortunately, compared to other games in this series, there is very little information on the technical aspects of the Mega Drive version.

If this technology truly can reduce the cost of tunnel boring by a factor of ten, subway systems can be created in many more cities and existing systems updated with a thicker network.

I also wonder if, because of the smaller diameter of the tunnels, a network of self-driving buses doesn't make more sense to deploy in these tunnel networks.
The record keeping requirements are there on the executive branch because otherwise there may not be any paper trail at all. Contrast that to the legislative branch who's function is to explicitly create a written piece of legislation.

Why does github need a desktop client at all? Multiple git clients exist for all platforms, many of which are better than the github client ever was. If they can't afford to maintain multiple versions why don't they just maintain none?

First, FRAND does explicitly require that Qualcomm license their SEPs to all willing licensees under non-discriminatory terms, not just their customers or end-device makers.

Second, this isn't about earning higher profit. but whether Qualcomm is abusing the standard essential patents to prevent competition and maintain their dominance. Qualcomm doesn't want to compete with anyone on quality or price. ETSI which governs the wireless standard forbids such anti-competitive licensing practices outlawed by local powers.

Sure, SEP/FRAND isn't about promoting competition or best price, etc, but it is certainly about interoperability and everyone having fair and reasonable access to the underlying IP's to achieve the ideal.
I'm asking you since you're following this closely.

Should my car buying decision take into factor the fact that SKorea, as Nytimes says, punishes whistle blowers?

If so, does this happen in Japan too?

I want to provide a counterargument to #4

'Be strict about best practices even if they seem negligible' is horrible advice.

I often run into cases where something needs to be laid out differently to what the 'best practices' recommend for the sake of readability. I've worked with several popular linting configs for Javascript and over time I've found myself or my team paring them back to just the basics in order to make them usable.

Even the basics provide dubious value in my opinion. A basic linter provides great value if you hire droolers that can't figure out basic indentation. But if you're doing that then you have serious problems and no amount of corralling is going to save you.

Past that, I've never once seen any real value come from something like mandating semicolons, or a lack thereof. I feel like actually caring whether the file you're opening has or doesn't have semicolons is a clear sign of an inexperienced programmer. It makes zero difference to my workflow, and IME experienced devs will just carry on whichever style is already in place without even a second thought, linter or no.

In my experience the absolute worst case scenario in terms of code readability (assuming you haven't hired anyone completely incompetent) is when your dev team is twisting themselves in knots trying to adhere to linter rules when they should just trust their instincts about what is readable and what is not.
You might be right. If that's the case, I offer this errata: "Explain to me how this isn't your father being a dick."
"Lola" was the name her owners called her. Affectionate is a complicated word here, considering that affection didn't change the fact that a woman was held in servitude to the Tizon family. The least we can do in this situation is try to stop erasing her real name.
I don't believe for a minute that modern cars last less long than old cars. Have you actually used a 60's or 70's car as a daily driver? The big difference is also maintenance. If you've ever had an old car you know about oil change intervals that's maybe 25% of modern cars, constant valve adjustments, distributor problems, carburetor adjustments, etc.

Modern cars as a rule go hundreds of thousands of miles without major problems while using a fraction of the gasoline per mile and producing a fraction of the pollution.

Yeah, sometimes they get it wrong and design something that doesn't last. But do you think that didn't happen before, too? Remember that the models we know and remember 50 years later are the winners. There's a strong survivorship bias at work here.
I'm not claiming that it's recent behaviour, but if I start dredging up old things, then people can claim "oh, well that was in that past, not now."
That ship has done sailed. American firms have learned what makes sense to offshore and what doesn't. Hence the carnage.

From a mathematical perspective: If you can't separate an observation from potential sources of bias, what good is your analysis? The fact that the observation holds despite bias is a strong indicator of its validity.

From a business perspective: an informed citizenry makes the best customers.

From a leadership perspective: citizens need to engage.

> They already get paid for emotional labor with emotional reward.

Great, so they can just pay the rent with emotional reward then.

> Maybe you could stop being sexist and calling things like education and nursing "feminine."

Clearly these occupations have a larger percentage than average of female workers, they're associated with women, and probably not coincidentally, they also have low pay and low prestige. I don't know why it's the "enlightened" move to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend that's not the case.
It was common among my (upper-class) extended family, but (disclaimer) I only ever visited every year or so until I was 15.

A lot needs to be done in terms of triangulating proper compensation and upping respect for some families, but I think people also need to maybe visit the Philippines.

That's not to say I didn't find it weird, I totally did. They were privy to such intimate aspects of our lives, but sitting in the car next to them was weird, and they wouldn't really be "allowed" to eat with us (although my mother, around Alex's age, was fine with them eating with us). It was unsettling to me even as a young kid. It was like they were these pariahs and I didn't exactly know why and couldn't really ask why, but they were so present in the day to day that they would know when I cried over something stupid or if I had a period stain I had trouble washing out.

But, I think it's also good to have some frame of reference. Again, proper compensation and respect are essential. But also realise that it's a country trying to grow it's middle class and that there's no way to go from point A to point B in the major metropolitan area without seeing children digging through trash, shanty-towns that may or may not wear the next rainy flood, etc. In these situations, proper compensation for a live-in helper to a middle class family maybe (I wouldn't know) is the stability of room and board and food, even if that means sleeping on a futon with the other live-in workers (who do different roles) in a tiny spare room.

My philosophy tends to be that if you can reasonably afford to give them better standards, then do so. So if you're a foreigner, give them that extra $20 because they will certainly appreciate the exchange rate. If you're well-to-do and regularly have live-in help, having proper "maids quarters" and cots can't be too much of an ask over time.
ok cheers. I read that as local pharmacists giving approval for Amazon to deliver, where I thought Amazon is looking at doing e-prescriptions and entering that market themselves.

Interesting as well that Japan can dispense category 1 drugs via a pharmacist okaying an online form submission of symptoms, and not a doctor. (going via the link on Japan Times)

Thanks for your post. I'm curious about what you mean by "I was there when we hired Jack and Biz" though. Were they not founders?
It would probably be in my self-interest to agree with you but I am in favor of globalization and freedom of movement on moral/ethical grounds. I realize I am in a very small minority but I just don't believe in nationalism. I don't value Canadians over Chinese people and vice versa. I'm not writing this to win you over but just to bring a different perspective.
>we're chasing the same things with more dollars.

you're missing the part where more demand creates more supply.

Sure, sometimes the market is distorted due to zoning, like in SF, and also land is finite, but generally speaking the market responds to the added demand by creating more housing, possibly denser housing. Same with other goods. Those are not empty dollars that got added into the system by fiat - they represent additional productive work done, and the goods / services they create is added to the economy.

Mix in some resin?
I'm reminded of this possibly apocryphal conversation between Alan Kay and Ivan Sutherland.

Alan Kay: "How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first nonprocedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year?"

Ivan Sutherland: "Well, I didn't know it was hard."
More important than any of these tips is how to factor code so that it can combine in compact ways without multiplicative complexity with each option added. Without that continuing along any path will lead to an unmaintainable mess.
What? It's not similar at all.

Not only are they paid well, there are government restrictions on who can hire a foreign live-in caregiver.

Usually there has to be a compelling reason like the person is handicapped or extremely elderly.

The reason it's so heavily regulated is because they are taking away jobs from native caregivers.

That book was published in 2006 and if that's what you got from it, then it's extremely outdated.

> Many Asian countries have the concept of live-in housekeepers.

As educated as the HN crowd is, I'm surprised so many people are susceptible to stereotypes.

Perhaps because most people on HN are rather wealthy and well off, when they visit Asia they hang around other rich Asians.

So yes, among rich Asians, the idea of a live-in caretaker maybe common, but they are the minority.

This would be like some rich Asian people hanging out with rich Westerners and saying, "many Western countries have the concept of live-in butlers and maids."
This is what happened to me as well.

I used to spend several hours per week on average looking for new music (new for me, might be old releases) and Spotify's AI basically does the job for me now. Well worth 10 bucks per month.

Also, the biggest factor in "sound quality" is the matching of the master and the device used to listen (most notably compression of the dynamic range, you want it strong on low-end speakers and/or noisy environments, and as dynamic as possible on high-end systems in good listening conditions). I'm very pleased with Spotify's masters, they're often equal or superior to the CD even, which is nice in an otherwise "loudness war" ("bricked") market (been that way sadly since the late 90's, which brings tears to many a sound engineer).

I can't speak for Apple Music (never tried it) but Google Play Music has absolutely terrible masters in many cases, way too compressed, sounding flat.

Note: I speak of dynamic range compression (audio technique), which has nothing to do with data compression (e.g. MP3). The actual end-user codec has actually little to nothing to do with it, it's all about mastering, i.e. targeted reproduction devices and listening conditions.
Im not sure you can easily argue either is "highly curated"; they both cover an extremely large domain and cover at least a substantial subset of it. It's hardly the case that any one/group handpicked particular subjects of interest, rather they denied anything not of interest (and accepted the rest)

I imagine rather than "broad and inclusive", it should be "broad and authoritative", which then tends towards conservative when contraversial (which makes sense: how can you be authoritative when a general agreement can't be reached?)

And ofc, wikipedia was preceded by c2wiki, and stackoverflow by innumerable Q&A sites, both predecessors being substantially more liberal in what they accepted. And both beat out their predecessors, presumably largely because quality control was made much more difficult, and often absent, in the face of liberal acceptance.
Seems an understatement to simply describe the current political climate as an increase in "intensity". I think a mentally ill President on the verge of impeachment and a country on the verge of constitutional crisis is qualitatively different than anything that has been happening since the beginning of HN.

I don't think political discussion needs to be a frequent occurrence, but this outright immediate shutdown of anything ever related to politics when other links that are a lot less important (or not "deeply interesting", as the welcome page notes) dominate the front page as a matter of routine. Links which are often only tangentially related to hacking (at best), seems really odd.

It costs 1 billion dollars a mile to dig subway tunnels in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Improving tunnel digging technology would help bring those costs down. The American solution to every problem is to spend more money as money is the universal and only sufficient remedy to all problems.
Eventually, you run into a situation where spending more money makes things worse such as with health care. Sometimes it's better to invest in lowering the cost of things instead.

Agreed. And that's why I said "assuming supply stays the same" when talking about the housing market. I don't think I was clear with what I meant by 2x and 1.5x. I'm assuming those dollars represent productive labor and that means that there's more supply.

My point is that I think the supply side isn't keeping up. The economy itself isn't bringing home 2x the bacon, but rather 1.5x the bacon when you're feeding all this extra labor into it. And yes, this is due to market distortions and diminishing returns.
