The myths of the digital native and the multitasker
> My barber does not cut his own hair.

The same way a mason does not build his own house /s
> the limited capacity of our brain

That's both fixable and already something we have mechanisms to cope with. You already remember the highlights of your life, not every single waking moment.

> the mean time from birth to a fatal accident being around two hundred years.

I've seen various statistics for that, but in any case, all the more incentive to fix that, too. We don't avoid curing a disease just because other diseases still exist.

You've highlighted one of the most insidious sticking points of American car culture: infantilization of anyone who doesn't participate. You're not a Real Adult unless you're driving alone in your own car.

I used to think along these lines. I couldn't wait to get a car once I graduated from college and got my first real job, so that I could finally be one of those real adults who didn't need to beg/borrow/buy rides off of others. The thing I hated most about my suburban upbringing was my reliance on others to get around, and I reacted hard.

I slowly realized that following the cultural stigma (and my infatuation with a class of inanimate objects) was, in fact, the childish approach. The adult, pragmatic decision turned out to be a combination of public transit for daily commuting, Uber for leisure (when public transit is too annoying), and hourly rentals for cargo hauling and day trips away from the city.

This has nothing to do with outsourced motherhood or being an entitled baby, and everything to do with economics. Land has appreciated enough that a driver's labor as needed is less expensive than a parking space full time. I have dreams of owning my own car again, but as long as I live where parking is $275/mo, that will be the luxury option.
We have carbon tax in BC for awhile...
Personally, and people I know, generally aren't being much greener unless it's related general advancements in technology (eg led, hybrids etc).

Instead it's hitting us in the pocket, when it's already higher cost of living in Vancouver.

We pay highest gas prices in all of north america cause of it... Doesn't make us drive less... Just makes us spend more.

Electricity has had 20% price increase over last few years, and expecting additional increases... So adding a electric vehicle doesn't sound so good when not a vast charging network/speed and are already paying tier2 (kwh rates higher)

Transit isn't improving for the fastest growing suburbs very much. (While the transit execs are getting big bonus).

Carbon tax is like a farce, like offsets imho from a high level

"For around $30 a month, New York City internet providers offer basic packages of 100 Mbps service."

I'd love to know where in NYC this service exists. I currently pay $60/month for 50Mbps and often get half that speed in practice. My office Internet service is even worse, it goes out 3-5 times a day and I've had maybe a dozen techs come out to look at both spaces. They won't even let me use my own modem because it's business Internet, which they charge 3x the price for.

I've looked for alternatives, but have never had any other option than over-priced terrible service from Time Warner/Spectrum for the past decade.
I would rather say that it's argument from evidence, but that's perhaps an academic point.

But I disagree that drug policy is judged on the merits you mention; we have evidence of decriminalization in portugal, and its relative success in preventing destruction. Meanwhile elsewhere in the world there is very little appetite to entertain the idea of decriminalization or legalization, despite evidence supporting the theory that prohibition exacerbates the effects its intended to directly prevent.
You simply can't reduce it to zero. Around 200 years, nearly everyone will have at least experienced a near fatal accident, statistically. If you're 40, you probably already know someone who has.
As a c++ developer it has been indeed impossible to figure out what ui stack to use from Microsoft. We ended up choosing Qt because it seemed to have much lesser roadmap uncertainty.
I clicked on this article because I needed to do something similar this week, and ended up using the JS-based approach. I’ve built something like this with S3 before, but ended up doing it with Google Cloud Storage this time around. The process looked like this:

1) Client-side app receives an image (via drag-and-drop or file picker)

2) Client hits an authenticated endpoint on backend with the name of the file, which returns a “signed URL” (authenticated, with customizable expiration) from Google Cloud Storage

3) (This part is particular to GCS, and I think unneeded for AWS/S3) Hit this signed URL in the client, and receive a final, PUT-able URL

4) Upload the file using the final authenticated URL from Google Cloud Storage

Like I said, I think with AWS/S3 you can just request a signed URL and send data to that URL directly. Delegating as much communication with GCS to the backend was important for my project [1] but you might be able to just manage it with a JS lib.

It's not just the marketing. With enough VC funding a startup could build an equivalent or better marketing apparatus. The Big entertainment companies have a monopoly on key distribution channels: radio, tv, in-store, stadium shows etc. The succesful startup will be the one that builds an entirely new distribution channel for musical acts.

Only if you build tunnels that no one can get to. Road tunnels still need to obey grade and (horizontal and vertical) curvature restrictions. For example, every story down you push a tunnel, every city block longer an access ramp needs to be. And the deeper you make tunnels, the more difficult ventilation and pumping becomes.

Waiting for the "can't stop me using VPNs L0Lz" comments..

VPN use for a free and open Internet is abnormal - not a long term solution to issues like censorship.

They're already out of reach for normal users. Companies will offer better ways to block or detect usage for lucrative gov contracts. Simply making it illegal will detour most people.

I don't understand why VPN crackdown is thought to be impossible. ISPs have a good idea of what normal traffic looks like and a very good map of the Internet. The Internet may be big. To an ISP, is it really that big? Netflix, Google, YouTube, Dropbox etc are normal. Your companies VPN IP are normal.

That's unusual! Open connection to a DNS port? sending large amounts of data? its encrypted? No one has accessed that digital ocean IP before on this network! Lets throttle, interrupt it periodically or flag that user. Someone else sending large amounts data to a known VPN IP range? block, throttle, close connection, police knock on door etc.

policy change, not more VPNs.
5 Tips for a Successful CMMS Implementation
Mostly trial-and-error, don't think I've used any books, though I'm sure I've gotten ideas from online recipes. My staples are either "some kind of soup" or "some kind of stir-fry on rice". Mostly vegetarian, not really strictly, but meat goes bad quickly so I tend not to have it. These two styles of cooking are also nice because the ingredient list is flexible. Almost any combination "works", it's just a matter of figuring out which combinations you like. The stir-fry-on-rice is only convenient if you have a rice cooker, though. Making rice on the stove without burning it is a hassle. Soups are mostly unattended cooking once you figure out what stove setting is "simmer" for the size of pot you're using (i.e. doesn't cool off so much it stops bubbling entirely, but also doesn't boil over). Depends or your taste, but for me even quite simple soups can be nice, e.g. boil some water and add lentils, potatoes, onions, salt, and some kind of spices (peppercorns, bay leaf, garlic, maybe a hot pepper). I usually serve with a drizzle of olive oil & vinegar and a side of nice bakery bread (I draw the line at baking!). Easiest way to make the same recipe non-vegetarian is probably to add in some chopped sausage or ham. Soup also works well with making extra amounts to refrigerate for leftovers, because unlike many foods it actually gets better on the 2nd day (ingredients' flavors mix more).

I also have a quick-and-dirty burrito I like to make: dice onions and optionally hot peppers, tomatoes, etc., sautee for a few minutes, add a can of canned beans and mix for a few more minutes, put into a tortilla with sour cream, done. It's not carnitas from a good taqueria, but I live in the UK, so the bar for outdoing a takeaway burrito is not that high. ;-)

A nice side dish, or a main dish for some people, are "greens" of various kinds (turnip, collard, dandelion, etc., can also use kale). Just put in a pot with a small amount of water, put on the lid, and steam until they're soft (shouldn't take more than 15 mins). Add olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Can make it into a more hearty main dish by adding in some chopped ham or bacon (with bacon, add it first and cook a few minutes to make sure it's fully cooked).

There's also "all-day breakfast", if you want to follow the current restaurant trend. ;-) Frying up eggs & bacon & toast takes almost no time at all!

It's interesting to see this shift in the web to blatant plagarism and copyright infringement. In the days before social media having dupe content was the mark of death for your Google page rank. Now that doesn't matter anymore because of social network sharing, so it's just become a gigantic cesspool of hacks feeding on hacks.
Provide actual, sufficient, high-quality homeless shelters and services, rather than leaving every other public space (libraries, transit, parks, etc.) as a poor stand-in.
They do, to some small extent. I'm not claiming that indoor gyms should not exist at all or that on should never ever drive to one, nor that there is never a case for a skyway or parking at a transit station (though parking should never ever be gratis). Only that the costs exist and should be considered.

What in the world are you talking about?

Their shareholders are spending their own money to finance this. They are not being subsidized.

Lobbying the government to pay for this instead, would be doing the thing that you are arguing against. Why should the taxpayers pay for this when other people are perfectly willing to spend their money instead?

Not only that, but it would take decades for the government to do it, AND if they were to do it then it would be 10 times more expensive.

Not a kinesiologist, but I think running landing on the ball of the foot will be more energy efficient, recycling momentum more effectively than heel-first landing. Eventually, you'll get faster and better at running using the ball of foot landing, at least that's what happened anecdotally for me. At first it was a difficult transition, but long term more efficient and effective.

It is not ok to call someone inadequate as a person for wanting usable and pleasant public spaces. We are not morally obligated to enthusiastically embrace the reallocation of every public space for use as a homeless shelter.

Cities need to get homeless services right. They also need to get libraries, parks, and transit right.
There are very few Americans who would reply "in a sec," or "soon," if they meant "possibly some time today, or not."

It could, and the plugin creators regret not having it active for everyone's account:

So they won't make this mistake again.
I would recommend against sound cancelling headphones. The thing is that they only block out constant background hum like a fan. They don't stop talking.

What does stop talking though is a set of headphones call the 'Oppo pm-3'. These ones are like earmuffs, they have foam padding built-in, and the sound quality is pretty decent too.

Unfortunately I only discovered these 3 weeks after I burnt out of my open plan job and quit.

I'm not sure someone who suffers through a dead dog wouldn't learn anything from it. It still seems like a traumatic event, even if the dog isn't a person.
Part 1 was great.

However, the first lesson took a bit of stamina to go through. Much of it was introducing basic Unix/AWS/shell/Python things I know intimately and have strong opinions and deeply set ways about. Shell aliases, how to use AWS, what Python distribution to run, running Python from some crazy web tool called notebooks (and not Emacs), etc. felt like I was forced to learn a random selection of randomly flavored tools for no good reason.

Yes, it's a random selection of tools. The good reason to bear them is that you'll learn how to implement state of the art deep learning solutions for a lot of common problems.

So, I ended up viewing the lessons not as "this is how you should do it", but rather as "here's one way to do it". And it does get much easier after internalizing the tools in Lesson 1.

Just something to keep in mind when branding this as "deep learning for coders". Coders have deep opinions about the tools they use :)

Notice the slight difference between "grew up with" and "grew up alongside". The term "digital native" was coined specifically with the former in mind, those too young to remember offline. It's a misunderstanding when "digital native" is associated with widespread tech skills, that's more a thing of the homecomputer generation.
The trouble (IMO) with carbon tax on consumers is that it assumes demand (e.g. for driving your car) is elastic, when we know it's actually pretty inelastic.

We actually have decades of data of inflation-adjusted increase in fuel price positively correlated with increase in driving, from all over the world.

Carbon tax on businesses though, I think are much better - certainly they are if it spurs them to do stuff like carbon capture, or installing on-site renewables, etc.

Yes, many more and shorter stride is the way to go. A good way to get into it naturally is joining a trailrunning group. (I'd recommend buying a pair of inov8 for the trails, but that's another topic.)

Good reminder that you should never be in the mindset of "expecting" a phish from any source - trust is how they get you. Also, if a message was really urgent, you wouldn't have to click-through to see it.
The difference is the perceived likelihood of malice or malicious indifference. It is fathomable that people let a dog die in the car because they don't care that much, or because they hate the dog.

People care about their children, and if someone did kill a child like this, with malice, they'd be vilified. Heck, they might even get lynched.

> With transportation, the vehicle must start and stop at a speed of zero. The energy required to accelerate the vehicle to its top speed and then decelerate it to back to zero increases quadratically as the top speed increases.

Don't be so sure. The vehicle could move continuously at cruising speed while individual people are brought to/from it and then "dock".
Wikipedia puts him at 40 novels, enough short stories for maybe 40 short to mid-sized collections (382 stories), 280 non-fic books, and 146 as editor or annotator, which surely don't count. 504 books included edited/annotated. If one were only using fiction and excluding duplicates (I'm sure there were collections of short stories of his which were mostly or entirely repeats from earlier collections) then that's maybe 80 volumes of unique material (I'm sure there were tons of dupes in various story collections), tops. They'd easily fit in 40-50 fairly ordinary vols. I bet if you were willing to put multiple "books" in one (a lot of his juvenilia are really short) and probably 10-15 LOA-style volumes.

Not that that's a small amount of fiction to have written, but even including the non-fic it's nowhere near 900.
Did BC implement it in a revenue neutral way (eg carbon dividend, or by cutting other taxes to match), or was it a net tax increase?

Ask HN: Do you suffer from imposter syndrome?
I've been in the tech industry my entire adult life. My grandpa taught me to program when I was six years old (QuickBASIC!). I'm self-employed and do well for myself. I've worked remotely my entire life and have never had a month where I didn't have paid work.

But month after month, I continue to have this feeling that I'm not good enough. That the industry will inevitably leave me behind and that I'm doomed to eat dog food out of a can in my old age or something.

I'm 31 now, so I definitely have a slightly less euphoric view of the working world than I did when I was 21. I'm more experienced and less willing to take work I know won't be a good fit. But I also feel, well, "old".

How many of you suffer the same delusions? What do you do to cope?
