> I like how your response to some police officers assuming the guilt of everyone they interact with is codifying the assumption of officer misconduct.

Police, in my experience, are rarely better than your next random street thug. US cops routinely shoot people (especially PoCs are walking targets), German cops love racial profiling (Hamburg, Hafenstraße - look on Twitter), beating up left-wing people (last seen at the police riots in Hamburg, G20) or cooperating with neo-Nazis (e.g. Freital terror group, but also the NSU terrorists had their "helpers"). Yes there are good cops, but they are rare. Most eventually succumb to the authoritarian system and what's called "Korpsgeist".
You can certainly bill for running a lot of tests.

> The split happened because people have very different ideas on how Bitcoin should scale (transactions per second).

I would say that the split will happen because the Bitcoin Cash have enough firepower (e.g. marketing, business) to diverse the attention to them since these forks could have been possible for long time. It is not a coincidence that these days are important for the SegWit2x and UASF projects too.
It seems like there's a lot less press coverage of Venezuela these days, compared with when Chavez took power and many in the international press were praising the election of a socialist President.

People, especially Venezuelans, have been observing a lack of recent coverage:

> Tesla just has better marketing.

Agreed. But that doesn't mean they aren't better technically, too. Case in point: Apple

> First, Tesla needs to scale up because it currently produces tiny numbers of cars (70k) compared to Toyota (10 million), VW (10 million) and the other existing car companies.

Except that the 10 million number does not matter if their entire system is set up to make exploding-fuel cars. The only thing common is the external shell and the dash electronics. The real expertise and resource is needed to make the rest of the stuff. And Tesla is ahead in that.

> And Teslas Giga Factory is nothing special.

Please point me to a battery factory this big, set up exclusively to supply batteries for one EV model.

> And China alone is expected to produce more than 3 times the output of Gigafactory in 2021

Oh you mean an entire country (also one of the biggest producers of manufactured goods) is going to produce only 3x the amount of batteries made by one factory, about 3 years later? Man that makes me more hyped for Tesla!

As a US citizen, whatever happens, I really hope America doesn't get involved in arming the protesters. Voice support for them but do not get involved in any material way.

We don't need another Syria on our hands, where two sides of a civil was were aided and armed by great powers who didn't care enough to significantly involve themselves in the conflict but cared just enough in principle to prolong it, destroying the nation in the process.

I recognize that Venezuela is far from being Syria, but at the end of the day, prolonged civil war is worse than either side winning outright. Order over chaos.
I think the reason you didn't get a straight answer on the "invisalign vs. braces" is that they do such their jobs so similarly that the biggest factor is really what you want. Do you want a slower and more expensive treatment with less pain, greater dental hygiene convenience, and that less visible to people who see your teeth? Can you put up with a little pain and inconvenience, don't mind the aesthetics, and want to save money?

In some some cases (to the best of my knowledge -- I haven't had to know anything about braces in 15 years), only braces are available until the teeth are in a state where invisalign can do the rest. Clearly, you weren't one of those patients, so the rest is up to you.

The dentists don't know your financial or social situation, they don't know what kind of inconvenience you can and can't put up with. What were you really expecting them to say here?
What LinkedIn is doing seems more like a pool threatening to sue people that look at the facility itself, from outside of their property. It's not clear whether viewing a public website is more (reasonably) similar to entering someone's property versus looking at their property from outside of it. To me, it seems much more like looking at it from outside. But, fortunately for LinkedIn, they can prevent people from viewing their site! (They just have to figure out for whom they want to do so.)
I'll second this.

There's been articles on HN specifically about how slow VS Code is, particularly the one about rendering cursor blinking, and of course anything running on Electron will never compete work the likes of vim, &c.

However, as Electron apps go, I've found it noticeably faster and less resource intensive than any others. Slack in particular is comparatively terrible, as was Atom in the past (people have said it's improved but I've not felt the need to try it again recently)
Very true! I wonder how much more efficient the c++ makes the app in contrast to the node based electron infrastructure

I made an extension to appease a slight reddit addiction: "What's new reddit?" https://github.com/mrspeaker/whats-new-reddit/ it highlights updates and auto-refreshes things.

I wrote it for Firefox, and then I wondered what it would take to port it to Chrome. The answer was "nothing really" - it worked out of the box for the main functionality. I had to do a small wrapper over loading settings, but having done a million extensions in the past, I was pretty surprised to see it load straight into a different browser!
Most do not, and even Google doesn't. I just verified on my account. You only need to provide your password to access account settings. Completely stripping all two-factor authentication requires no additional 2FA code.

3GB of RAM is precious (and I say that as someone who has 128GB)!

Your bar should not be, "Well, I don't see a slowdown." Many people still develop software on computers with only 8GB total RAM. Throw in a browser and one or two more applications and you're getting close to exhausting that.

Eventually you are going to exhaust your memory resources; using software with poor performance constraints is (in my opinion) inherently antagonistic to a development machine. That's not to say I'm against desktop JavaScript/HTML5 apps categorically, I just think they need much better optimization.
>One thing we know for a fact is, if you owned bitcoins prior to the fork, you will get the same amount of SegWit and Cash varieties.

Show HN: Authentimate – Two-Factor Authentication API
A Capital Punishment Essay – Covering a Controversial Issue
Hey HN!

We’re building Authentimate, a simple two-factor authentication API. We were frustrated with other 2FA solutions that couldn’t give us clear, consistent pricing, and tended to overcomplicate what should be a very simple feature.

We started off with SMS-based two-factor auth because it is the most widely available and easily understood by users, which makes them more likely to enable it.

In the very near future we will be rolling out more secure TOTP-based authentication so that users can use something like Google Authenticator to handle their second factor.

We would love get some early feedback and thoughts on what you think is missing from current third-party auth solutions.

Thanks!

> It is a hack, but what else is there eh?

The non-hacky way to do this sort of thing in both C and C++ is to just use less clever two-phase compilation as part of your build process.

I.e. you'd have your template compiler extract the HTML from your source (or more easily, dedicated template files), parse, validate and compile them. The end result of that would then be embedded in your binary somehow.

The gettext set of tools are a good example how how this works in another related domain. You extract strings from your program, they and the contents of corresponding .po files are validated, then compiled to efficient .mo binary files for runtime use.
> BMW has no viable EV plan

I haven't seen it yet. Maybe they've already manufactured 10 million fully autonomous EVs and holding off till 2018 just to surprise everyone. But until they start talking about it, or selling it, nobody knows.

> Tesla will be able to follow through with theirs

At least they are giving it a legit try. But yeah, it's a huge risk, and highly uncertain what will finally come to be.

I kind of agree with the rest of what you said. BMW is likely not concerned with capturing market.
> Why not fold it and move to Bitcoin-only donations?

I'm a huge advocate for Bitcoin, but this is a terrible idea. They're trying to support staff and the last thing you want to do in that circumstance is to limit the potential donor pool.

I also don't see how changing the currency of the problematic transactions changes the tax implications.
The performance difference between dev and prod builds of React is significant in my experience. In tests of an animated interface (fairly heavy app otherwise as well), a prod build did 2-3x the raw FPS of the dev build.

I can't really imagine what type of benefit they believe they're getting. Your error tracking system does re-assemble the stack from a out-of-band delivered sourcemap, even in prod, even with multiple versions deployed simultaneously... right? Like any decent error tracking system such as Rollbar or Sentry will do out of the box. Tell me you didn't build your own and can't even unwind a production error trace.

HTTP runs on top of TCP, which already gives you at least two round trips. Also, if it's a device that's connected via the public internet, you probably should be using TLS, which gives you a couple more round trips.

Really, realistically, if your internet connectivity is too bad to support SMTP, it most likely won't work for HTTP either, and you probably should be using some custom UDP thingy with an appropriate retry strategy.

Agreed - I made the mistake of using a small CSS starter framework and regretted it a few weeks into the project. CSS size isn't usually a problem for anything I do (internal backends typically) so I tend to just put bootstrap in and go.

I think things like this (Shoelace) are a great learning experience for the developer(s) in question or for fun throwaway stuff. You could make an argument for them for a team project where there's wide agreement, but for anything I will need to maintain or share with someone or hand off I pretty much only use Bootstrap as a starting point. Saves a lot of headaches down the line.

how's that even possible? I mean just the kernel + mds_store and mdworker of mac take like 2gb of memory.

I also run two java processes with 1gb predefined (well probably I could fine tune them to use 512mb).
and one angular/cli which accounts for 800mb.
plus my database which got 500mb aswell.

spotify on mac used way more than 500mb memory, the last time I used it and also had an extreme amount of i/o pressure.
atom actually did use at least 500 mb memory as well, with just the c# plugin.

It comes down to: in NYC the landlords don't have to provide services in order to demand really high rents. They do the absolute least amount they can for the tenant while still being able to collect huge rents. We have a housing crisis which makes it a greedy landlord's market. Also, unless the unit is listed in the lease as a service, the LL is required to provide, the LL has no obligation to fix even the machines in a building's laundry room. So, they let them break and don't fix them because there is nothing a renter can do about it except break their lease. The rental market is so bad in NYC, that landlords will often not provide services that are required by law (heat, hot water) just to see if they can get away with it. They often do, as NYC tenants, especially new city residents, have no idea what their legal rights are.

jacquesm is right, the Polish church is a complete racket. A small example—my father wanted to be buried in the family crypt in Warsaw. This meant having to pay off his parish (he was not a churchgoer, but everyone is assigned a parish), and then pay off the parish the cemetery was in to allow the transfer (in addition to all the regular burial fees).

The most popular conservative priest in Poland drives a Maybach.

Priests in Poland will go door to door once or twice a year basically collecting envelopes. Not paying them complicates your life.
